Trezor Bridge is an essential communication tool that enables seamless interaction between your Trezor hardware wallet and your web browser or desktop app. Without it, your computer wouldn’t be able to properly detect and communicate with your Trezor device. Designed for speed, security, and compatibility, Trezor Bridge acts as the trusted gateway for all your crypto transactions and device management.
Trezor Bridge is a small background application developed by Trezor to create a secure connection between your hardware wallet and your computer’s web browser. It replaces older browser extensions that were once required to connect to Trezor devices. The Bridge ensures that your communication remains encrypted, reliable, and easy to manage, while maintaining the highest standards of privacy.
By using Trezor Bridge, users can safely access their crypto assets through Trezor Suite, the official desktop and web interface, without worrying about compatibility or connectivity issues.
When you plug in your Trezor device for the first time, your computer needs a way to recognize and communicate with it. This is where Trezor Bridge comes in. It allows your browser or desktop app to interact securely with your wallet, ensuring every command is executed only after your physical approval on the device screen.
Unlike browser-based scripts or extensions, Trezor Bridge offers a direct, offline connection, significantly reducing the risk of phishing or malware interference. It’s a simple yet powerful layer that ensures your transactions are always initiated and confirmed by you.
