Trezor Bridge: The Secure Connection Between Your Browser and Trezor Hardware Wallet

Problem: Managing Crypto Securely via Browser Can Be Risky Without Proper Tools

As crypto adoption surges, millions of users prefer managing their digital assets using browsers. From checking balances to accessing DeFi platforms, browsers have become the default tool for everyday crypto interactions. However, browsers are also the primary attack surface for hackers, exposing users to phishing scams, malware extensions, and fake websites.

The biggest security gap? Many wallets rely on browser plugins that store private keys online, making them vulnerable to attacks. Even if you have a hardware wallet, without a secure communication bridge, interacting with your wallet via browser can still be unsafe or inefficient.

Agitation: Every Time You Connect to a Website, Your Crypto Is at Risk

Picture this: you log in to a decentralized exchange using a browser extension wallet, thinking it’s safe. But unknown to you, a malicious extension has been installed, silently recording your keystrokes. You execute a transaction—and your assets vanish forever.

Real Case Study:
In 2024, a crypto user from Japan lost $25,000 to a browser malware attack while connecting to a DeFi platform. The tragedy? If they had used a hardware wallet with Trezor Bridge, the hack could have been completely prevented.
