Trezor Bridge
Trezor Bridge is an essential tool for anyone using a Trezor hardware wallet. It allows your browser to communicate directly with your wallet, enabling secure access to your cryptocurrency assets without needing browser extensions. This ensures a seamless experience when interacting with Trezor Wallet or Trezor Suite for managing your digital currencies.
In this guide, we will explore the importance of Trezor Bridge, how it functions, and its advantages. Plus, we’ll share helpful links for those looking to learn more or get started with Trezor Bridge.
What is Trezor Bridge?
Trezor Bridge is a software application developed by Trezor that facilitates a secure connection between your Trezor hardware wallet and your browser. Unlike other wallet platforms that rely on browser extensions, Trezor Bridge operates as a standalone tool that runs in the background, allowing your browser to interact with the Trezor wallet securely.
Whether you're managing Bitcoin, Ethereum, or other supported cryptocurrencies, Trezor Bridge acts as the middleman, ensuring that data from your hardware wallet is encrypted and handled securely. It eliminates the need for browser extensions like Trezor Connect, creating a more streamlined and reliable connection.
How Does Trezor Bridge Work?
Trezor Bridge works by establishing a direct communication channel between your web browser and the Trezor hardware wallet. When you access Trezor Wallet or Trezor Suite, your browser sends requests to the Bridge, which in turn communicates with your wallet. The encrypted data from your wallet is then sent back to the browser, allowing you to confirm transactions and manage your assets in real-time.
For example, when you want to approve a transaction, the Bridge transfers this request to the Trezor device, where you can physically confirm the action. Once approved, the data is securely transmitted back to your browser for execution.
How to Install Trezor Bridge?
Getting started with Trezor Bridge is simple. You can download the software directly from the official Trezor website for your operating system. It supports Windows, macOS, and Linux, ensuring compatibility with most major browsers, including Chrome, Firefox, and Opera.
Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to install Trezor Bridge:

Once installed, Trezor Bridge will run in the background, connecting your wallet to your browser automatically when needed.
