Trezor Bridge — The Secure Connection Between Your Wallet and the Web
When managing cryptocurrency with a Trezor hardware wallet, security and ease of use go hand in hand. Trezor Bridge is a key part of that experience — a trusted, lightweight application that enables seamless, encrypted communication between your Trezor device and the applications you use to interact with your digital assets.

What Is Trezor Bridge?
Trezor Bridge is a small background service that runs on your computer and acts as a secure intermediary between your Trezor hardware wallet and web-based interfaces or wallet apps. Unlike old browser plugins or extensions, Bridge operates outside the browser, providing a reliable and encrypted communication channel over USB. Trezor+1
Without Trezor Bridge, your browser may not be able to detect your hardware wallet, which means you could be unable to verify transactions, sign messages, update firmware, or manage your crypto securely. Whether you're using the official Trezor Suite web app, third-party wallets, or decentralized applications (dApps), Bridge ensures your requests reach the Trezor device safely — and that your device’s responses get back to you without exposing sensitive data.

Why Trezor Bridge Matters
1. Secure Encrypted Communication
Trezor Bridge ensures all communication between your computer and your hardware wallet is encrypted and authenticated. Your private keys never leave the device — sensitive operations like signing transactions are performed on the hardware itself, and Bridge simply acts as a messenger. Trezor Bridge
2. Cross-Platform Compatibility
Bridge works with major operating systems including Windows, macOS, and Linux. It also supports all popular browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and more, giving you the flexibility to manage your crypto on the platform you prefer. Trezor Bridge
3. Better Than Browser Plugins
Older methods of connecting wallets involved browser extensions that were easily disabled or presented security risks. Trezor Bridge runs outside the browser, reducing conflicts and offering a more stable, secure experience. Trezor
4. Runs Quietly in the Background
Once installed, Trezor Bridge works silently in the background. It auto-detects your Trezor device when plugged in and establishes a secure channel when needed — no manual setup each time. Trezor
