Trezor Bridge is a software application that allows Trezor hardware wallets to communicate with supported desktop browsers and applications, including Trezor Suite. The software ensures secure data transmission between the hardware device and the software interface, enabling users to manage accounts, perform transactions, and monitor portfolios. Animations are used throughout Trezor Suite and Bridge documentation to illustrate these processes.
The installation process of Trezor Bridge is straightforward. Users download the installer from the official Trezor website. Animated guides show each step, including downloading, opening the installer, granting permissions, and completing setup. These animations make it easy to follow, demonstrating successful installation on Windows, macOS, and Linux systems.
Once installed, Trezor Bridge facilitates communication with the hardware device. Animated visualizations in the interface demonstrate connecting the Trezor device via USB, confirming proper recognition, and establishing a secure channel. The animations highlight successful pairing, showing the device lighting up and indicating readiness for interaction.
Trezor Bridge acts as a bridge between the hardware and the desktop or web application. Animated walkthroughs illustrate how the bridge relays requests from the application to the device. For example, when a transaction is prepared, the application sends the request through Trezor Bridge, which forwards it to the device for signing. Users can see animations of data flow, reinforcing the concept that private keys never leave the hardware.
When performing transactions, animations demonstrate each step from initiation to approval. Users can visualize entering amounts, verifying recipient addresses, and approving transactions on the Trezor device. The animation highlights the confirmation screen on the hardware device, showing that Trezor Bridge only transmits signed messages securely.
Trezor Bridge works in tandem with Trezor Suite to provide portfolio overviews and account management. Animated sequences show account synchronization, updating balances, and displaying historical transactions. Users can interact with portfolio charts and see live updates animated in real-time as the bridge communicates with the device.
Trezor Bridge supports Windows, macOS, and Linux. Animations in the setup and usage guides adjust dynamically for each platform. Users can see device connection steps, interface navigation, and transaction approval flows visually adapted to their operating system, ensuring clarity and consistency across platforms.
Animations within Trezor Bridge and Trezor Suite emphasize security protocols. Users can watch animated illustrations of PIN entry, seed confirmation, and transaction signing. These visualizations help users understand that the hardware device remains the root of security while Trezor Bridge safely transmits signed data between the device and the software interface.
