Welcome to Trezor Bridge: The Secure Gateway for Your Crypto Wallet
In the world of cryptocurrency, security and seamless connectivity are paramount. Trezor Bridge is the official communication layer that connects your Trezor hardware wallet to your computer and supported browsers, ensuring every transaction and wallet interaction is safe, smooth, and fully verified. Whether you’re a first-time user or a seasoned crypto enthusiast, Trezor Bridge is the backbone of secure digital asset management.
What is Trezor Bridge?
Trezor Bridge is a lightweight, trusted application that enables encrypted communication between your Trezor hardware wallet and your computer. It replaces legacy browser extensions and eliminates the risks associated with browser plugin vulnerabilities, providing a reliable, cross-platform way to access Trezor Suite and supported web wallets. With Trezor Bridge, your private data stays offline, and every transaction is fully verified by your hardware wallet, not your browser.
Why is this important? Because browser plugins can be compromised, but Trezor Bridge ensures your wallet’s security is never left to chance.
“By using Trezor Bridge, you eliminate the risk of browser plugin vulnerabilities. It ensures your private data stays offline and transactions remain fully verified by your hardware wallet.”
Effortless, Secure Connectivity
Connecting your Trezor device has never been easier. Once Trezor Bridge is installed, simply plug in your Trezor Model One or Model T, and open the Trezor Suite desktop or web app. Trezor Bridge automatically detects your device and establishes a secure, encrypted channel for communication. There’s no need to worry about compatibility or manual configuration—Bridge keeps your device ready to interact with applications, creating a smooth connection every time you plug in your wallet.

How Trezor Bridge Works
Trezor Bridge acts as a secure intermediary between your hardware wallet and your computer’s operating system. When you initiate a transaction or access your wallet, Bridge ensures that all sensitive operations—such as signing transactions or generating addresses—are handled exclusively by your Trezor device. This means your private keys never leave the hardware wallet, and your computer or browser never has access to them.
