Trezor Bridge®

The Secure Connection Between Your Browser and Hardware Wallet

What is Trezor Bridge?

Trezor Bridge is a lightweight background service that allows your computer browser to communicate safely with your Trezor hardware wallet. It replaces older browser plugins and creates a direct, secure data channel between supported applications and your device.

The Bridge runs locally on your system, meaning sensitive communication never relies on third-party browser extensions.

Why Trezor Bridge Matters

Secure Communication

Encrypts communication between your device and supported wallet interfaces.

No Browser Plugins

Eliminates security risks linked to outdated extensions.

Automatic Detection

Your Trezor device is recognized instantly when connected.

Background Operation

Runs silently without interrupting your workflow.

How It Works

When you open a compatible interface like Trezor Suite, the browser sends a request through Trezor Bridge. The Bridge then establishes a secure local connection with your hardware wallet.

Installation Overview

Trezor Bridge installs like a small system service. After installation, no additional configuration is typically required.

Always download from the official source: trezor.io/start
