Official Trézor® Bridge®®| Introducing the New Trezor®

Trezor Bridge is a lightweight software component that enables smooth communication between your Trezor hardware wallet and web-based applications. It plays a critical role in ensuring secure interactions when accessing Trezor services through a browser.

What Is Trezor Bridge?

Trezor Bridge is a background service installed on your computer that allows supported web browsers to detect and communicate with your Trezor device. While desktop users often rely on Trezor Suite, Trezor Bridge is necessary when using the web version of Trezor Suite or third-party web wallets.

Instead of relying on browser extensions, Trezor Bridge provides a safer and more stable connection method.

Why Trezor Bridge Is Important

Modern browsers restrict direct access to USB devices for security reasons. Trezor Bridge solves this by acting as a secure mediator between your browser and your hardware wallet.

Key benefits include:

Secure USB communication

Improved browser compatibility

Reduced reliance on extensions

Automatic background operation

Once installed, Trezor Bridge runs silently, ensuring your Trezor wallet is always recognized when needed.

How to Install Trezor Bridge

Installing Trezor Bridge is simple and user-friendly:

Visit the official Trezor website

Download the Trezor Bridge version for your operating system

Run the installer and follow on-screen instructions

Restart your browser after installation

The software supports Windows, macOS, and Linux, making it accessible for most users.

When Do You Need Trezor Bridge?

You need Trezor Bridge if:

You use Trezor Suite Web instead of the desktop app

Your browser does not support WebUSB

You interact with third-party web wallets or DeFi platforms

For desktop users, Trezor Bridge ensures consistent connectivity without compromising security.

Security and Reliability

Trezor Bridge is developed and maintained by SatoshiLabs, the creators of Trezor hardware wallets. It does not store private keys or sensitive data. All cryptographic operations still occur on the hardware wallet itself, maintaining Trezor’s strong security model.

Final Thoughts

Trezor Bridge may operate quietly in the background, but it is an essential part of the Trezor ecosystem. If you prefer managing crypto through web browsers, installing Trezor Bridge ensures a secure, stable, and seamless connection to your Trezor hardware wallet.
