Trezor Bridge – Connect Your Hardware Wallet Securely

Enable smooth, secure communication between your Trezor hardware wallet and web interfaces like Trezor Suite and third-party apps.

What is Trezor Bridge?

Trezor Bridge is a background service that runs on your computer to enable communication between your Trezor hardware wallet and supported desktop or web applications like Trezor Suite. It acts as a secure bridge, allowing these apps to read wallet data and send signed transactions—without exposing your private keys.

Trezor Bridge replaces older browser plugins and supports more modern, flexible, and secure interactions with your crypto assets.

Key Features of Trezor Bridge

Lightweight Communication Layer

Runs quietly in the background with minimal system resource usage while maintaining stable wallet connectivity.

Multi-browser Support

Works with Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Brave, and other major browsers without needing extensions.

Encrypted Local Connections

All communications between your wallet and the interface are secured through encrypted local channels.

Open Source & Transparent

Like all Trezor tools, Bridge is fully open-source and can be audited by anyone.

Security Built Into Every Layer

Trezor Bridge is designed with a security-first philosophy. Unlike traditional software, your private keys never leave the device. Bridge ensures a secure handshake between your Trezor hardware and your PC, without exposing any sensitive data.

“Even if your computer is infected, Bridge ensures no private key exposure—your crypto stays protected.”
