Trezor Bridge
Trezor Bridge heralds the arrival of the innovative Trezor App, marking a significant evolution in how users interact with their Trezor hardware wallets.
Trezor Bridge and Trezor Wallet are two components of the Trezor ecosystem, each serving different functions to facilitate the use and security of Trezor hardware wallets:
Trezor Wallet:
Function: Trezor Wallet refers to the software interface that allows users to manage their cryptocurrencies stored on a Trezor hardware wallet.
Features: It provides functionalities such as viewing balances, sending and receiving transactions, managing multiple cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc.), and accessing additional features like coin splitting and coin control.
Security: Trezor Wallet emphasizes security by storing private keys offline on the Trezor hardware device and requiring physical confirmation for transactions.
Trezor Bridge:
Function: Trezor Bridge is a software component that acts as a communication bridge between your Trezor hardware wallet and your computer or mobile device.
Purpose: It enables your computer or device to communicate securely with the Trezor hardware wallet, facilitating functions like transaction signing and firmware updates.
Compatibility: Trezor Bridge is compatible with various operating systems (Windows, macOS, Linux) and browsers, ensuring broad compatibility for Trezor device users.
Key Differences:
Role: Trezor Wallet is the interface where you manage your cryptocurrencies, while Trezor Bridge is the software that allows your computer or mobile device to interact securely with your Trezor hardware wallet.
Functionality: Trezor Wallet provides the user interface for managing cryptocurrency transactions and addresses, whereas Trezor Bridge handles the secure communication and synchronization between the hardware wallet and the software interface.
Usage: You typically use Trezor Wallet directly for everyday interactions with your cryptocurrencies, such as checking balances and making transactions. Trezor Bridge runs in the background, facilitating secure communication when needed.
