Trezor Bridge is a vital tool for anyone using a Trezor hardware wallet to manage their cryptocurrency. Designed to facilitate communication between your Trezor device and your computer, Trezor Bridge enables users to manage digital assets with enhanced security and ease.
What is Trezor Bridge?
Trezor Bridge is a software tool that acts as a mediator between your Trezor hardware wallet and web-based cryptocurrency platforms. It ensures seamless communication between your Trezor wallet and supported interfaces, such as Trezor Wallet or third-party services like MetaMask and MyEtherWallet. Without this bridge, your computer wouldn’t be able to effectively recognize or communicate with the Trezor device.
