Trezor Bridge® — Connect Your Trezor to Web Browsers

Cryptocurrency ownership brings freedom and responsibility. Managing coins safely means keeping private keys out of reach from online threats. Trezor Bridge® is the vital tool that allows your Trezor hardware wallet to communicate securely with your computer and web browsers. It makes hardware wallet use simple, fast, and safe—without exposing your digital assets to unnecessary risk.

What Is Trezor Bridge®?

Trezor Bridge® is a small background program created by SatoshiLabs, the makers of the first hardware wallet. Its main purpose is to enable encrypted communication between your Trezor device and applications like Trezor Suite or other compatible web tools.

Modern browsers restrict direct USB access for security reasons. Trezor Bridge solves this problem by creating a local, encrypted link between your computer and wallet. Once installed, it runs quietly in the background and automatically recognizes your device whenever it’s connected.

Why It’s Needed

Without Trezor Bridge, your browser cannot detect or talk to your Trezor wallet. The Bridge ensures a smooth, secure connection every time you use Trezor Suite.

Key benefits include:

🔐 End-to-end encryption that protects all communications
💻 Automatic device recognition across operating systems
🧩 Compatibility with Chrome, Edge, Brave, and other browsers
⚙️ No browser plug-ins required
🚀 Lightweight background operation that uses minimal resources

This reliable communication layer makes every crypto transaction both safe and convenient.

How Trezor Bridge® Works

When you plug in your Trezor device, the Bridge acts as a secure local server. It allows web applications like Trezor Suite to send and receive messages to your hardware wallet through an encrypted channel.

Every operation—from viewing account balances to signing a transaction—passes through this local connection. Importantly:

Your private keys never leave the hardware wallet.
The Bridge does not connect to external servers.
All signing and verification occur within the device itself.

This architecture ensures your sensitive data is never exposed online.

The Bridge ensures each command you send through the Suite is verified by your hardware wallet before execution, keeping your funds safe from external threats.
