Everyone wants to keep their money safe and secured. People look for the safest bank where they can keep their money. The same is with the crypto traders, they are also looking for the best wallets to keep their digital assets safe. And there are several options available to choose from. First, there are two types of wallets available. One is a software wallet and the next is a hardware wallet.
However, software wallets seem a little riskier than hardware wallets. It is so because some professional hacker can hack the software wallets or the users can fall into any online cyber-attack by using the software wallets. But if we talk about hardware wallets then it is next to impossible to get hacked. And one of the best examples of a hardware wallet is Trezor. In this blog, we will guide what is a Trezor wallet and what is Trezor Bridge.
What is Trezor Wallet?
It is the first hardware wallet that was ever introduced in the crypto market. It aims to provide the best security measures for crypto funds stored in it. This is because the funds that are being kept here, are stored in an offline mode and even the transactions are also signed offline. It is a hardware device that you can carry with you wherever you go. And since the secret recovery phrase of this wallet was never stored online there is no chance for the hardware wallet to get hacked. The developers of this wallet launched an update by the name of Trezor Bridge to enhance the user experience.
What is Trezor Bridge?
We know that Trezor keeps the funds offline so there should be a communication tool present that will help to establish communication between the web and Trezor Wallet. Thus, this is where the Trezor Bridge comes in, it works as that communication tool. And this is the only reason for introducing it. But, this reason is sufficient.
What changes did it make?
There is no need for the users to interact directly with the bridge application. All the users have to do is just install it and then start their seamless trading in crypto without any worry. This application would be running automatically in the background and would not disturb in between. For new users, the wallet would automatically ask you to install the application during the time of account setup.
How to download Trezor Bridge?
Those who are using the Trezor Wallet Extension have two options. One is either to uninstall the extension and the second is to download the Trezor Bridge. The process of downloading bridge application is:
