A concise product presentation: purpose, UX, security model, migration, and resources.
Executive summary
Trézór Bridge is the communication layer that securely connects a Trezor hardware wallet to desktop and browser apps.
The new Trézór App (Trezor Suite) brings integrated management, clearer UX, and modern cryptographic hygiene to everyday crypto tasks.
This presentation explains the bridge’s role, user flows, migration steps, security considerations, and where to go for official help.

What is Trézór Bridge?
Core purpose
Trézór Bridge runs on the user’s machine and exposes a secure, local communication channel between a plugged-in hardware device and wallet software.
It handles device discovery, encrypted messaging, and permissioned operations so browsers and apps can interact with the hardware without exposing private keys.
Why it matters
Enables seamless hardware <> software integration for signing transactions.
Makes UX reliable across OS/browser differences.
Reduces user error by standardizing device calls and prompts.

Introducing the new Trézór App
What’s new
Unified desktop + web experience for send/receive, portfolio, and swap features.
Improved onboarding and verified downloads to reduce fake-app risk.
Security-first design: explicit mandatory confirmations on the device for sensitive actions.
User benefits
The app simplifies routine flows — account view, transaction history, coin management — while keeping the seed and keys offline.
Users who previously used the standalone Bridge will be guided to Trezor Suite for a smoother integrated experience.
Security model
Hardware-first approach
Private keys never leave the device; all signing requires explicit steps and confirmations on the physical device screen.
The bridge acts only as a transport and does not hold keys or sign operations by itself.
Best practices
Always download the app from the official site and verify signatures.
Keep firmware up to date and never reveal your recovery words to any online prompt.
Prefer offline backups (paper/steel) and avoid storing seed words in digital files.
Migration & upgrade steps
Quick path for existing users
Visit the official Trezor Suite download page and verify checksums/signatures.
Uninstall any deprecated standalone Bridge if instructed in the official guide.
Install Trezor Suite, connect your device, and follow the in-app migration prompts.
Notes
Deprecation of older standalone Bridge builds has been announced; consult the official deprecation guide before upgrading. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

When to contact official support
Use official help pages or your vendor’s verified channels for device failures or potential compromise. Avoid 3rd-party download mirrors for tools or firmware.
