What is Trezor Bridge?
Trezor Bridge is the communication software that allows your Trezor hardware wallet to interact with your browser or desktop applications. Without it, your Trezor cannot be detected by your computer. It acts as the invisible bridge that enables all your wallet operations — from viewing balances and verifying addresses to authorizing transactions securely.
Trezor Bridge eliminates the need for outdated browser extensions, offering a more stable and reliable experience. It automatically recognizes your connected device, ensuring a smooth workflow each time you plug in your Trezor wallet.
- 🔐 End-to-end encrypted communication between device and browser.
- ⚙️ Multi-platform support: Windows, macOS, and Linux.
- 🌐 Integrated seamlessly with Trezor Suite.
- 🚀 Lightweight, fast, and resource-efficient.
Security You Can Trust
Security is the foundation of everything Trezor builds — and Trezor Bridge is no exception. The software ensures that all data exchanged between your Trezor wallet and your computer is fully encrypted and authenticated. Your private keys never leave your hardware wallet, and any transaction must be manually confirmed on the Trezor’s display.
This layered approach protects users against phishing attempts, browser hijacks, and malware attacks. Because Trezor Bridge is open-source, its code can be audited by anyone, reinforcing transparency and trust across the global crypto community.
With Trezor Bridge, your connection is not just fast — it’s virtually unbreakable. The communication path is isolated, keeping sensitive data away from prying eyes and unsafe online scripts.
