Trezor Bridge® is the essential communication layer that allows your Trezor hardware wallet to securely interact with modern web browsers. It acts as a trusted connector, enabling seamless data exchange while preserving the strict offline security principles that hardware wallets are known for.
Designed for reliability, compatibility, and privacy, Trezor Bridge® replaces outdated browser plugins with a lightweight background service. This service ensures that supported browsers can detect and communicate with your device without exposing sensitive information or private keys.
Whether you are managing assets, confirming transactions, or accessing advanced wallet features, Trezor Bridge® forms the foundation that keeps everything running smoothly across platforms.
Trezor Bridge® is a small desktop application that runs quietly in the background of your operating system. Its primary role is to translate secure device-level communication into a format that web applications can safely understand.
Instead of relying on insecure browser extensions or deprecated APIs, Trezor Bridge® establishes a local connection channel. This approach significantly reduces attack surfaces while maintaining a fast and responsive user experience.
Once installed, it automatically detects supported browsers and allows them to recognize your Trezor device whenever it is connected via USB.
Modern browsers operate within strict security sandboxes. Direct USB access is intentionally limited to protect users from malicious websites. Trezor Bridge® solves this challenge by acting as a trusted intermediary.
When your Trezor device is connected, the Bridge listens for encrypted requests from supported browser applications. It validates these requests and forwards them to the device without ever exposing private keys.
Responses from the device follow the same secure path back to the browser, ensuring integrity at every stage.
Trezor Bridge® is designed to work across major desktop operating systems, providing a consistent experience regardless of your setup. Once installed, it automatically integrates with supported browsers without requiring manual configuration.
Updates are handled seamlessly, ensuring that improvements and security enhancements are delivered without disrupting your workflow.
Security is the foundation of Trezor Bridge®. The software never stores private keys, recovery phrases, or sensitive transaction data. All cryptographic operations remain inside the hardware wallet.
This strict separation ensures that even if a browser or system is compromised, your assets remain protected.
From a user perspective, Trezor Bridge® operates invisibly. Once installed, you simply connect your device and interact through supported web interfaces as expected.
Installing Trezor Bridge® is straightforward. After setup, the service launches automatically when your system starts. This ensures that your device is always ready for interaction without additional steps.
Maintenance is minimal, as updates are designed to be smooth and backward-compatible. Users benefit from ongoing improvements without needing to reconfigure settings or reauthorize devices.
Trezor Bridge® is built with long-term use in mind. Its lightweight architecture minimizes conflicts with other applications while remaining robust enough to handle continuous usage.
By focusing on simplicity, security, and compatibility, the Bridge ensures that your hardware wallet remains accessible as browser technologies evolve. This forward-looking approach protects both usability and security for years to come.
Whether you are a first-time user or an experienced digital asset manager, Trezor Bridge® provides a dependable foundation for secure web-based interactions.
