Trezor Bridge

The secure background service that connects your Trezor hardware wallet to web applications for safe and seamless cryptocurrency management.

What is Trezor Bridge?

Trezor Bridge is a lightweight communication tool that enables secure interaction between your Trezor hardware wallet and supported web browsers. It runs silently in the background and allows the Trezor Web interface to detect and communicate with your connected device without requiring browser extensions.

Designed for improved compatibility and enhanced security, Trezor Bridge ensures that sensitive operations remain protected while offering a smooth user experience.

Why Trezor Bridge is Important

Secure Local Communication

How Trezor Bridge Works

Trezor Bridge acts as an intermediary layer between your web browser and hardware wallet. When you connect your Trezor device via USB, the Bridge detects the device and securely relays communication requests from the official web platform.
