Trezor Bridge is the official connectivity service that enables safe and reliable communication between your Trezor® hardware wallet and supported web or desktop applications. It acts as a trusted link, ensuring secure data exchange without exposing sensitive information.
Trezor Bridge is a background application designed to facilitate communication between Trezor hardware wallets and browser-based or desktop wallet interfaces. It replaces older browser extensions by offering a more stable, secure, and universally compatible connection method.
Rather than storing private keys or wallet data, Trezor Bridge simply acts as a messenger. It allows supported applications to interact with the Trezor device while ensuring that cryptographic secrets always remain safely inside the hardware wallet.
Modern browsers continue to restrict direct hardware access for security reasons. Trezor Bridge solves this challenge by creating a local communication layer between your device and wallet interfaces.
Without Trezor Bridge, web-based wallet services may be unable to recognize your hardware wallet or perform secure operations.
Trezor Bridge runs quietly in the background of your operating system. When a supported application requests access to your Trezor device, Bridge verifies the request and forwards it securely.
All sensitive actions, including transaction signing and address verification, must still be approved directly on the Trezor hardware wallet. Trezor Bridge never bypasses physical confirmation, maintaining full user control.
Trezor Bridge is available for major operating systems to ensure broad compatibility. Installation packages are optimized for stability and performance on each platform.
Each version is digitally signed to ensure authenticity and protect users from tampered or counterfeit software.
The installation process is straightforward and requires only a few steps. Users are encouraged to download Trezor Bridge exclusively from official Trezor sources to avoid security risks.
Once installed, Trezor Bridge launches automatically when required and does not interfere with normal system performance.
Earlier wallet solutions relied heavily on browser extensions, which often suffered from compatibility issues and security limitations. Trezor Bridge offers a modern alternative that is more reliable and future-proof.
By separating device communication from the browser environment, Trezor Bridge reduces exposure to browser-based vulnerabilities and ensures consistent behavior across updates.
Security is central to Trezor Bridge’s architecture. The software is open-source and regularly audited to maintain transparency and trust.
All critical actions require physical interaction with the Trezor device, meaning no transaction can be completed without your explicit approval. This design protects users even if their computer is compromised.
Regular updates ensure compatibility with new browsers, operating systems, and wallet features. Users are notified when updates are available and encouraged to install them promptly.
Updating Trezor Bridge helps maintain a secure communication environment and prevents potential connection issues.
Using official Trezor software ensures authenticity, reliability, and long-term support. Third-party tools may introduce unnecessary risks and compromise wallet security.
Trezor Bridge, combined with Trezor Suite and Trezor hardware wallets, creates a secure ecosystem designed to protect your digital assets at every stage.
