Trézór Bridge — Introducing the New Trézór App 🚀🔒

A clean, friendly walkthrough presenting the new Trézór Bridge experience designed for secure, simple management of your crypto assets across devices and platforms. Read on for features, setup, migration tips and best practices. 🎯

Welcome to the new Trézór Bridge — a modern app built to unite the reliability of Trézór hardware with the convenience of desktop and mobile workflows. Whether you’re an experienced power user or setting up your first hardware wallet, this app places security-first design at the forefront while smoothing everyday tasks: checking balances, signing transactions, and managing accounts. ⚡️

Core Features — What’s New? ✨

Unified Accounts

Trézór Bridge consolidates multiple account types into one view. See all your wallets, tokens, and chains side-by-side without switching apps. No friction, instant overview. 🔁

Fast Connection

Improved USB and Bluetooth code paths that detect your Trézór device faster and keep connections stable during signing. Less waiting, more confirming. ⚡️

Streamlined UX

Simplified flows for common tasks like receiving, sending and confirming multisig proposals. Tooltips and inline help make it approachable for newcomers. 🎯

Privacy-Forward

Local-first data handling: most state lives on your device. Remote calls are minimized and clearly labeled. You remain in control of what leaves your machine. 🛡️

Cross-Platform

Available on Windows, macOS, Linux and a progressively enhanced web interface. The same experience, the same font-size and typography you see here, regardless of platform. 🌐

Developer-Friendly

Built with extension points and a small API for integrators. Audit-friendly code and deterministic behaviour for reproducible results. 🧩

Security & Best Practices 🔒

Security is the heart of Trézór Bridge. The app acts as a secure relay and a UX layer; all private keys remain on your Trézór device. We recommend a few simple practices:

Always verify the device’s fingerprint visually before approving a transaction. ✅
Keep your recovery seed offline and in a safe place; never store it on cloud services. 📝
Use a strong device PIN and enable firmware auto-checks. 🔁
Review the transaction details on the hardware screen before confirming. The app shows context, but the device confirms identity. 🔍

// Example: signature flow (conceptual)
> app -> bridge -> device: prepare transaction
> device: display tx details
> user: confirm on device
> device -> bridge -> broadcast

Migration & Importing — Move Safely 🛠️

If you’re moving from another wallet or an older Trézór app, the Bridge app includes guided migration wizards. Migration focuses on safety and clarity:

Backup your existing recovery seeds and verify them offline before any move.
Connect your Trézór device and let the wizard enumerate accounts; it will not export private keys.
Choose which accounts to import. Imports are a local view: nothing is sent to external servers unless you opt into an analytics or cloud backup feature.
Test small transactions after import to verify addresses and confirmations. Send a small amount first. 💡

Migration also supports migrating multisig setups and hardware-key rotations: there’s a step-by-step guide that highlights required co-signer approvals and expected wait times for network confirmations. 🔁

Tips & Tricks — Squeeze the Most Out of Bridge 💡

Little tricks save time and avoid mistakes:

Use account nicknames to quickly recognize addresses when you have many wallets. ✍️
Enable "Quick-Confirm" for low-value transactions if you trust your network; otherwise keep strict confirmation enabled. 🧭
Create a watch-only profile for large holdings so you can monitor balances without connecting the hardware. 👀
Use the history view and export signed transaction logs for audits and tax tools. 📑

Pro tip: enable the privacy mode when you’re on public networks. It reduces background calls and hides precise balance totals from passive observers. 🕶️

FAQ — Quick Answers 🔎

Q: Does Bridge store my seed phrase?

No. Trézór Bridge never stores private keys or seed phrases. The app is a user interface and relay. Keep your seed offline. 🔐

Q: Can I use the app offline?

Yes. Many features like account browsing and preparing transactions can be used offline; broadcasting requires network connectivity. The app will clearly label offline vs online operations. 📴

Q: What if I lose my Trézór device?

Recover funds using your recovery seed on a new Trézór device or compatible wallet. Treat your seed like the master key to your holdings. 🔑

Q: Is there an audit trail?

Yes—Bridge can export a signed history of actions and confirmations for bookkeeping and compliance needs. 📁
