Trézór Bridge® | Introducing the New Trézór App

Introduction

The world of cryptocurrency continues to evolve, and so do the tools we use to manage and secure our digital assets. At the forefront of crypto security is Trézór®, the leading name in hardware wallets. Known for its robust, open-source security architecture and user-centric design, Trézór has now introduced two revolutionary components in its ecosystem: Trézór Bridge® and the new Trézór App.

Together, they aim to make crypto management more intuitive, secure, and accessible than ever before. Whether you're a seasoned investor or just getting started with digital currencies, this guide will walk you through everything you need to know about Trézór Bridge® and the new Trézór App, including setup, features, compatibility, and advanced tips.

What is Trézór Bridge®?

Trézór Bridge® is the secure communication interface between your Trézór hardware wallet and your web browser. It allows applications like Trezor Suite, Trézór App, or third-party apps to interact with your hardware wallet directly from your browser or desktop.

Before the introduction of Trézór Bridge®, users relied on browser extensions to manage their devices. However, these methods came with limitations and potential security risks. Trézór Bridge® solves these issues by offering a native communication layer that is faster, safer, and more reliable.

Key Features of Trézór Bridge®

• Direct Device Communication Enables your browser or desktop app to securely communicate with your Trezor device without requiring browser extensions.
• Improved Security Avoids third-party browser extension vulnerabilities and enhances your protection from phishing and malware attacks.
• Cross-Browser Compatibility Works with most modern browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Brave.
• Lightweight and Background-Running Trézór Bridge® runs in the background with minimal system resources, ensuring a smooth user experience.

Why Trézór Bridge® Matters

The cryptocurrency space is growing, and so is the sophistication of online threats. Trézór Bridge® is a key part of the new secure infrastructure designed to make device communications seamless, safe, and scalable.

With Bridge, users no longer need to rely on browser extensions like Trezor Chrome Extension, which is now deprecated. Bridge has become the new standard and supports:

• Trezor Suite (desktop and web)
• Trezor Connect-enabled applications
• Integration with wallets like MetaMask and Electrum

By eliminating the need for outdated connection methods, Trézór Bridge® reduces the attack surface and simplifies the experience across platforms.

3. Install and run the software. You may need to approve installation via your system security settings.
4. Restart your browser to ensure the changes take effect.
5. Once installed, Trézór Bridge® runs in the background and automatically detects when your device is connected.

Introducing the New Trézór App

As the next step in Trezor's evolution, the Trézór App is a standalone desktop application that offers a streamlined and user-friendly way to interact with your Trézór device, without relying on browser-based tools.

Security Architecture

End-to-End Encryption

All communication between your app and Trezor hardware is encrypted and signed. This eliminates any possibility of interception or man-in-the-middle attacks.

PIN Protection

Trézór App does not store sensitive information. Access is always gated behind the device's secure PIN and optional passphrase.

Recovery Seed Backup

Your 12-, 18-, or 24-word seed is your only backup. The app will never ask for or store it—only the Trezor device handles the seed during secure backup or recovery.

Trézór Connect & Bridge: Powering the Ecosystem

Trézór App and Trezor Suite both rely on Trézór Connect, an open-source JavaScript library that communicates with Trézór Bridge®. It powers integrations with:

• Wallets like MetaMask, Electrum
• DApps and Web3 tools
• Exchanges and trading platforms

Bridge acts as the secure handshake layer, ensuring only legitimate, signed transactions are approved via the Trezor device.

Tips for Safe Usage

1. Keep Firmware Updated Trezor releases frequent firmware upgrades. Always update via the app or Suite.
2. Verify Transaction Details on the Device Never approve a transaction unless the recipient address and amount match exactly.
3. Use a Passphrase This optional feature adds a second layer of security by requiring a user-defined passphrase to access your wallet.
4. Back Up Your Recovery Seed Safely Use fireproof storage or a steel plate backup like Cryptosteel or Billfodl.
5. Avoid Phishing Never enter your seed online. Trézór App will never request it.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Device Not Detected

• Make sure Trézór Bridge® is installed.
• Try a different USB port or cable.
• Restart the app and reconnect the device.

Transaction Fails to Send

• Check network congestion or fees.
• Make sure firmware is up to date.
• Restart and try again.

Seed Phrase Lost

• If you lose your seed and passphrase, your wallet cannot be recovered. Backup is critical.

Trézór is actively evolving into a complete, decentralized financial management platform. With the combination of:

• Trézór Bridge® for secure connections
• Trézór App for simplified access
• Trezor Suite for advanced management
