Trezor Bridge: The Secure Gateway

Trezor Bridge is a lightweight desktop application that acts as a secure communication layer between your Trezor hardware wallet and web browsers. It's the critical link that allows you to safely manage your digital assets.

Why Trezor Bridge is Essential

To interact with your Trezor device from a web browser, a small piece of software is required to securely establish a connection. This is because standard web browsers have limitations in communicating directly with hardware devices like Trezor. Trezor Bridge overcomes this by creating a robust, encrypted channel. Without it, you would not be able to use Trezor Suite or any other web-based wallets that support your device. It ensures that all communication is signed and verified, protecting your private keys from potential malicious attacks.

Secure & Encrypted

The Bridge creates a dedicated, secure tunnel for communication, preventing interception and manipulation.

Cross-Platform

Available for Windows, macOS, and Linux, ensuring compatibility with all major operating systems.

Automatic Updates

The Bridge can automatically update your Trezor firmware and its own software, keeping you protected.

Simple Installation Steps

1

Download the Installer

Click the download button for your operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux). The file is small and will download quickly.

2

Run the Installer

Locate the downloaded file and run the installer. Follow the on-screen instructions. The installation is straightforward and requires minimal interaction. The Bridge runs silently in the background.

3

Connect Your Trezor

Once the installation is complete, connect your Trezor device to your computer via USB. The Trezor Bridge will automatically detect your device and enable secure communication with any supported web application.

Advanced Features and Benefits

Seamless Integration

Trezor Bridge works in the background and requires no user input after installation. It integrates directly with Trezor Suite and other partner wallets, providing a frictionless user experience.

Enhanced Device Detection

The Bridge ensures that your Trezor device is reliably detected by your computer, eliminating common connection issues and ensuring a stable link for your transactions.

Firmware Update Support

The Trezor Bridge is the official channel for delivering firmware updates to your device. This process is managed securely, so you can always be confident that your device is running the latest, most secure software.

Privacy-Focused

Unlike other solutions, Trezor Bridge does not rely on browser extensions that can be vulnerable to attack. It operates as a local application, keeping your sensitive information confined to your computer.
