Trezor Bridge — Secure Device Communication

Trezor Bridge is the essential background service that enables your Trezor hardware wallet to communicate securely with desktop and web applications. Without it, apps like Trezor Suite would not be able to detect and interact with your device.

Overview

Trezor Bridge runs in the background of your computer, creating a secure communication channel between your browser, apps, and your Trezor hardware wallet. It replaces outdated browser plugins and ensures ongoing compatibility with modern browsers.

Key Features

Installation & Setup

  1. Download Trezor Bridge from the official Trezor website.
  2. Install it on your operating system (Windows, macOS, Linux).
  3. Launch Trezor Suite or connect to a supported web wallet.
  4. Verify your Trezor is detected properly.

Security Benefits

Trezor Bridge is designed with security in mind: it never exposes your private keys, it only transmits public information necessary for communication, and all signing happens inside the hardware device itself.
