Trézór Bridge — Introducing the New Trézór App

What is Trézór Bridge?

Trézór Bridge is the next-generation desktop and web application built to pair with Trézór hardware wallets. It represents a thoughtful reimagining of the wallet experience: cleaner visuals, clearer security prompts, and new tools that make hardware-backed key custody approachable for everyone. Bridge is explicitly designed to keep private keys inside the hardware module while giving users intuitive control over their assets, transaction signing, coin swaps, and portfolio monitoring.

The application is not a custodial service. Instead, Bridge is a local interface and companion for your Trézór device which orchestrates transaction composition, fee estimation, and verification flows. Every transaction you approve is displayed on your device screen for on-device confirmation — the bridge simply acts as a secure messenger and UX layer between your keys and the network.

Design & Usability

A major goal of Bridge is to remove friction without sacrificing safety. To achieve that, the design emphasizes readable prompts, large verification text, and step-by-step guidance for complex on-chain actions. New users benefit from an onboarding wizard that checks device integrity, helps record and verify recovery seeds offline, and demonstrates how signing works in plain language. Visual cues and color-coded warnings are used judiciously so important security steps stand out while routine actions stay fast and straightforward.

Bridge's dashboard consolidates balances, recent activity, and actionable items like pending firmware updates or recommended backups. The activity view includes deep links to transaction explorers for independent verification. Color gradients, subtle micro-interactions, and clean typography create an approachable environment without reducing the seriousness of hardware-protected custody.

Security Model

Security is the cornerstone of Bridge. The architecture centers on these principles: private keys never leave the device, all signing confirmations happen on-device, the host application is auditable, and communications are encrypted. Bridge introduces additional safeguards such as automatic firmware integrity checks, explicit device fingerprinting to prevent rogue device confusion, and file integrity verification for downloads.

Users are guided to verify firmware via checksums or manufacturer-signed proofs, and Bridge includes a simple recovery-check mode that helps validate stored backups without exposing seed words or ephemeral secrets. For advanced users, integration points for local nodes and self-hosted services are available so network interactions can be fully controlled from end to end.

Core Features

Onboarding & Migration

For users moving from other wallets or earlier Trézór apps, Bridge offers an assisted migration flow. The migration process walks you through linking existing accounts, importing token metadata, and verifying addresses. Importantly, Bridge never moves private keys or seeds — it simply helps configure the device and local application settings to reproduce your previous setup.

New users can initialize a device entirely offline: Bridge supports air-gapped setup scenarios where the UI helps create a secure seed, instructs on safe physical backup techniques, and verifies the seed without recording or transmitting the words. If you opt to perform setup on a connected computer, Bridge will insist on an on-device verification step and firmware integrity check to reduce risk.

Advanced & Developer Tools

Developers and power users will appreciate Bridge’s transparent logging, optional API endpoints for local integrations, and developer mode that exposes raw transactions and signing flows. This enables auditors to validate behaviors and integrations to build on top of Bridge while maintaining the crucial property that only the hardware module can sign and release private keys.

The application also exposes configuration options for coin explorers, fee-feeding services, and node endpoints, allowing users who run their own infrastructure to point Bridge at self-hosted services for maximum privacy and resilience.

Business & Enterprise Use

Organizations managing treasury or multi-signature deployments can use Bridge in conjunction with coordinated approval workflows. While Bridge itself is designed for single-device pairing, it integrates cleanly into multi-sig setups through supported signing protocols and external coordination services. Enterprises will find it useful for secure, auditable signing while retaining hardware-backed custody of critical keys.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does Bridge store my seed? A: No — Bridge never stores seed words or private keys. All secrets remain in the Trézór device.

Q: Can Bridge swap tokens? A: Yes — Bridge includes integrated swap options that prepare transactions locally and require on-device signing.

Q: How do I verify firmware? A: Bridge provides clear guidance and checksum verification tools to confirm firmware authenticity before updates.
