Trézór Bridge®™ | Secure Crypto Connectivity

Trezor Bridge is a crucial component for users who manage their cryptocurrency through a Trezor hardware wallet and a web browser. It acts as a secure communication layer between your Trezor device and supported web-based wallet interfaces, ensuring smooth and safe interactions without exposing your private keys.

What Is Trezor Bridge?

Trezor Bridge is lightweight software that allows your browser to detect and communicate with your Trezor hardware wallet. Since modern browsers no longer support certain plugins, Trezor Bridge replaces older browser extensions and enables secure device communication across platforms.

It works silently in the background, ensuring your Trezor device connects reliably to Trezor-supported web apps while keeping sensitive data protected.

Why Trezor Bridge Is Needed

Without Trezor Bridge, your browser may not recognize your Trezor device. This can prevent you from accessing wallet interfaces, confirming transactions, or managing crypto assets online. Trezor Bridge ensures that commands sent from a web wallet are securely passed to your hardware wallet for verification.

Importantly, private keys never leave your Trezor device. Trezor Bridge only facilitates communication—it does not store or access sensitive information.

How Trezor Bridge Works

Once installed, Trezor Bridge runs in the background whenever your computer starts. When you connect your Trezor device and open a supported web wallet, the browser automatically communicates with the device through the Bridge.

Each transaction must still be physically confirmed on the Trezor device screen, maintaining Trezor’s strong security model even when using web-based platforms.

Installation and Compatibility

Trezor Bridge is available for major operating systems, including Windows, macOS, and Linux. Installation is quick and requires minimal configuration. After installation, most users don’t need to interact with it directly.

For users who prefer desktop software, Trezor Suite does not require Trezor Bridge, as it has built-in communication capabilities.

Security Considerations

Trezor Bridge is developed and maintained by SatoshiLabs and follows strict security standards. Using the official version is essential to avoid fake or malicious software. Always download Trezor Bridge from the official Trezor website and avoid third-party sources.

Conclusion

Trezor Bridge plays a vital role in connecting Trezor hardware wallets with web-based interfaces securely. While many users now rely on Trezor Suite, Bridge remains an important tool for those who prefer browser wallets. When used correctly, it maintains the same high level of security Trezor is known for.
