Trezor Bridge is a communication tool that acts as a secure link between your Trezor hardware wallet and your web browser. Developed by SatoshiLabs, it ensures seamless and encrypted interaction between your device and Trezor’s web-based applications. In simple terms, it’s the software that lets your computer "talk" to your Trezor wallet safely.
Trezor Bridge replaces the older Chrome extension that was used in earlier versions of the Trezor ecosystem. It is now the preferred and recommended method for connecting your Trezor device to the Trezor Suite or Trezor Wallet interface.
Security is at the core of cryptocurrency management. While your Trezor device stores private keys offline, Trezor Bridge allows the device to interface with your computer without ever exposing sensitive information.
Key benefits include:
Once installed on your computer, Trezor Bridge runs in the background. When you connect your Trezor hardware wallet and open a compatible application like Trezor Wallet (web), the Bridge enables the two to communicate securely.
It works as a middleware layer between:
This ensures all transactions are signed locally on the device and that sensitive data is never transmitted or exposed online.
Setting up Trezor Bridge is easy:
Once installed, the Bridge updates automatically in the background to ensure security patches and feature enhancements are applied.
Trezor Bridge is an essential part of the Trezor ecosystem, enabling secure and reliable communication between your hardware wallet and web interface. Whether you use Trezor Suite or prefer the browser-based wallet, Bridge ensures your crypto management experience remains smooth, private, and secure.
By using Trezor Bridge, you’re taking an important step toward protecting your digital assets with one of the most trusted names in crypto security.
