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

Hardware wallets are known for their high level of security, but they still need a safe way to communicate with your computer. This is where Trezor Bridge plays a crucial role. Designed by Trezor, this lightweight application enables seamless and secure communication between your Trezor device and supported web interfaces.

What Is Trezor Bridge?

Trezor Bridge is a background service that allows web-based applications—such as Trezor Suite Web—to detect and interact with your Trezor hardware wallet. Modern browsers no longer support certain older plugins, and Trezor Bridge replaces them with a safer, more reliable solution.

Once installed, Trezor Bridge runs silently in the background and automatically activates whenever a supported web wallet is opened. Users don’t need to manually launch it, making the experience smooth and hassle-free.

Why Trezor Bridge Is Important

Without Trezor Bridge, your browser would not be able to communicate with your Trezor device. It acts as a secure middle layer, ensuring that sensitive operations—such as transaction signing and device authentication—are handled correctly.

Importantly, Trezor Bridge does not store private keys or sensitive wallet data. All critical cryptographic operations remain securely inside the Trezor hardware wallet, preserving the core security benefits of cold storage.

Installation and Compatibility

Installing Trezor Bridge is straightforward and only takes a few minutes. It supports major operating systems, including Windows, macOS, and Linux. Once installed, it automatically updates to ensure compatibility with the latest browsers and Trezor firmware versions.

Users are strongly advised to download Trezor Bridge only from official Trezor sources to avoid malware or fake installers.

When Do You Need Trezor Bridge?

Trezor Bridge is primarily required when using web-based wallet interfaces. If you’re using the desktop version of Trezor Suite, Trezor Bridge is typically not necessary, as communication is handled internally by the application.

For users who prefer browser-based access, however, Trezor Bridge is an essential component.

Final Thoughts

Trezor Bridge may run quietly in the background, but its role is critical. It ensures safe, reliable communication between your Trezor device and your browser without compromising security. For users who rely on web interfaces to manage crypto, Trezor Bridge is an indispensable part of the Trezor ecosystem.
