This short presentation explains the role of Trezor Bridge historically and how modern Trezor management centers on Trezor Suite and related official tools. It highlights secure connection concepts, user experience adjustments, and where to find official resources and code.
Trezor Bridge was a small local communication daemon designed to allow web browsers to talk to Trezor hardware wallets when native browser APIs or direct support were limited. It replaced older browser plugins and allowed secure local communication between desktop browsers and Trezor devices.
Many browsers historically lacked a consistent, secure device interface for USB-connected hardware. Bridge acted as a trusted local intermediary so that web-based wallet interfaces could operate reliably with Trezor models.
Trezor has shifted to consolidate functionality inside Trezor Suite and modern tooling; the standalone Bridge has been deprecated in favor of integrated, actively maintained applications and libraries. See official guidance and migration notes in the links below.
Trezor's core security model is device-first: private keys never leave the hardware, user PINs and passphrases are protected, and signed transactions are generated on-device. Communication tunnels (like Bridge or Trezor Suite) only act as transport — all critical cryptographic operations stay inside the hardware.
Developers who integrated with Trezor historically used Trezor Connect, Bridge (trezord), or the Trezor Suite APIs. Many open-source repositories and communication daemons remain available for inspection on official GitHub orgs; these are useful for auditing, integrating, or building advanced flows while following current official recommendations.
Trezor maintains a public GitHub organization with the suite, communication daemons, and utility projects — a helpful resource for security-minded integrators and auditors.
If you still run a standalone Bridge installation, consult official migration documentation and uninstall instructions before switching to Trezor Suite or other supported clients. Follow the official support and start guides for a smooth, secure transition.
Official support pages, FAQs, and the Trezor Help Center provide step-by-step manuals, troubleshooting, and contact options for purchase and order help.
