🌉 Trezor^ Bridge – Secure Your Hardware Wallet® 🔒

🚀 Introduction

Welcome to the world of Trezor Bridge — your essential link between the physical security of your Trezor hardware wallet and the dynamic world of online crypto management 🌍. This bridge is like your digital bodyguard 👮‍♂️ — silent, efficient, and always watching over your transactions to ensure maximum safety.

Think of it as the invisible handshake 🤝 between your hardware and your apps — working seamlessly to transfer data safely, without ever exposing your private keys.

🧩 How It Works

The Bridge runs quietly in the background, connecting your browser or wallet app to your Trezor device through a local API. Imagine it as a private tunnel 🕳️ where information passes back and forth — verified, encrypted, and untouchable by outsiders.
