Trezor™ Bridge is an essential communication layer designed to connect your Trezor hardware wallet with desktop applications and web interfaces securely and seamlessly. As part of the official Trezor ecosystem, Trezor Bridge ensures that your private keys remain protected inside your hardware wallet while enabling smooth interaction with Trezor Suite and supported third-party wallet services. Whether you are managing Bitcoin, Ethereum, or multiple digital assets, Trezor Bridge provides a stable, fast, and secure bridge between your device and the digital world.
Trezor Bridge acts as the secure gateway between your Trezor device and your browser or desktop wallet, ensuring encrypted communication without exposing sensitive data.
Trezor™ Bridge is lightweight background software that allows your Trezor hardware wallet to communicate with supported web and desktop applications. Unlike browser extensions that may carry security risks, Trezor Bridge runs independently on your operating system and provides a trusted communication channel. This approach minimizes attack surfaces and maximizes security for your crypto assets.
By using Trezor Bridge, users gain reliable connectivity across popular browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Brave, as well as smooth integration with Trezor Suite Desktop. It is an official component maintained and updated by the Trezor team to ensure long-term compatibility and safety.
Hardware wallets are designed to keep private keys offline, away from malware and phishing attacks. However, to send transactions, manage accounts, or view balances, the device must interact with a software interface. Trezor Bridge fulfills this role by providing a secure, encrypted connection that never exposes private keys to your computer or browser.
Trezor Bridge supports major operating systems, including Windows, macOS, and Linux. Once installed, it runs quietly in the background and automatically detects your connected Trezor device. This makes it easy for both beginners and advanced users to manage their crypto securely without complex setup steps.
On the web side, Trezor Bridge enables direct interaction with Trezor Suite Web and other supported wallet interfaces. Users can simply connect their device, open the official web app, and start managing assets instantly.
When you connect your Trezor hardware wallet to your computer via USB, Trezor Bridge recognizes the device and establishes a secure channel. All sensitive actions, such as transaction signing and key management, are performed on the hardware wallet itself. The Bridge only transmits public data and signed transactions, ensuring maximum protection.
Trezor Bridge is packed with features that enhance both usability and security. Its lightweight design ensures minimal system impact while delivering reliable performance across platforms.
Installing Trezor Bridge is a straightforward process. Users simply download the official installer for their operating system and follow the on-screen instructions. Once installed, the Bridge runs automatically and does not require manual configuration in most cases.
After installation, you can verify that Trezor Bridge is working by connecting your device and opening Trezor Suite. The application should recognize your wallet instantly, allowing you to manage your crypto securely.
Unlike browser extensions, which can be affected by malicious updates or permission misuse, Trezor Bridge operates independently of the browser. This significantly reduces the risk of browser-based attacks and enhances overall system security.
By separating wallet communication from the browser environment, Trezor Bridge offers a cleaner, safer architecture that aligns with Trezor’s security-first philosophy.
Trezor Bridge is ideal for a wide range of crypto users, from beginners to experienced investors. It supports everyday activities such as checking balances and sending transactions, as well as advanced use cases like interacting with decentralized applications through supported interfaces.
Privacy is a core principle of the Trezor ecosystem. Trezor Bridge does not collect personal data or track user activity. Its open-source nature allows the community to audit the code and verify its security, reinforcing trust and transparency.
By choosing the official Trezor Bridge, users ensure they are using software that aligns with strict privacy standards and industry-leading security practices.
