How Trezor Bridge – Secure Your Hardware Wallet® works (simple overview)

When an app needs to sign a transaction, it asks Trezor Bridge – Secure Your Hardware Wallet® to forward the request to the connected device. The bridge instructs the hardware to display the transaction details; you verify and confirm on the device screen. The hardware signs locally and returns the signed data through the bridge — the private key never leaves the hardware. This flow keeps your keys offline while enabling modern wallet workflows.
