Trezor Bridge® — Connect Your Trezor to Web Browsers

Managing cryptocurrency securely requires more than just a strong hardware wallet — it requires a reliable connection between your wallet and your browser.
That’s exactly what Trezor Bridge® delivers.

Trezor Bridge is the official communication software developed by SatoshiLabs, designed to create a secure, encrypted link between your Trezor hardware wallet and your web browser or desktop app.
It ensures smooth, safe, and instant recognition of your wallet — so you can manage, trade, or sign transactions without any risk of exposure.

What Is Trezor Bridge®?

Trezor Bridge® is a background service that allows your computer to communicate directly with your Trezor wallet.
Without it, browsers like Chrome, Firefox, or Edge won’t detect the hardware wallet properly.

The Bridge acts as a local connector — replacing old browser plug-ins and extensions that are no longer supported or secure.
It uses end-to-end encryption and runs quietly in the background, ensuring your wallet stays isolated from online threats while maintaining smooth performance.

It’s simple, automatic, and essential for every Trezor user.

Why You Need Trezor Bridge®

When you connect your Trezor hardware wallet to your computer, it must establish a secure channel to perform actions like:

  • Verifying wallet ownership
  • Signing crypto transactions
  • Accessing your Trezor Suite or web wallet
  • Managing multiple accounts safely

Without Trezor Bridge®, your browser wouldn’t be able to “talk” to your wallet securely.
That makes the Bridge a critical security layer between your computer and your crypto assets.
