Why Trezor Bridge is Important
Trezor Bridge provides a secure gateway between your Trezor hardware wallet and the applications you use. Web3 and crypto applications often require signing transactions, which can be risky if done through a regular browser connection. Trezor Bridge ensures the signing process is conducted safely on the hardware wallet itself, maintaining the security of your private keys while enabling smooth crypto management.
Additionally, it supports multiple platforms and browser integrations, simplifying interactions with decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms, NFTs, and other blockchain applications without compromising security.
