Trezor★Bridge keeps your transaction signing local and secure by creating a safe, minimal communication layer between your Trezor device and apps. Reduce risk — keep private keys offline.
Trezor★Bridge minimizes the attack surface by keeping sensitive signing operations on-device and limiting what runs on your OS.
Bridge provides a cross-OS compatibility layer for apps and older browsers that lack modern WebUSB support.
Developers can use a stable local endpoint to perform automated testing and integrate hardware-wallet flows. See trezord repos for details. :contentReference[oaicite:24]{index=24}
Scenario 1: You use an older operating system that cannot use WebUSB natively — Bridge restores functionality.
Scenario 2: You run automated test suites that need a stable, local hardware-wallet proxy.
Scenario 3: You prefer Trezor Suite bundling for the simplest, supported, and most secure day-to-day flow — check the official guides on whether standalone Bridge is needed. :contentReference[oaicite:25]{index=25}
