Trezor Bridge™ enables seamless communication between your Trezor® hardware wallet and supported browsers for safe cryptocurrency management
Trezor Bridge™ is the essential software component that creates a secure connection between your Trezor® hardware wallet and your web browser. This lightweight background application enables you to manage your cryptocurrencies through Trezor Suite and other supported interfaces while maintaining the highest security standards.
By installing Trezor Bridge™, you ensure that your Trezor® device can communicate with web-based wallet interfaces without compromising security. The Bridge facilitates firmware updates, transaction signing, and account management while keeping your private keys securely stored on your hardware wallet at all times.
Trezor Bridge™ enables secure communication between your Trezor® hardware wallet and web browsers. It's required for using Trezor Suite web version, managing your cryptocurrencies, and performing firmware updates. The Bridge ensures all communication is encrypted and your private keys never leave your hardware wallet.
Trezor Bridge™ is available for Windows (7 and later), macOS (10.11 and later), and Linux (most popular distributions). The software automatically runs in the background when needed and stays up-to-date with automatic updates.
Trezor Bridge™ uses encrypted local communication between your browser and hardware wallet. All sensitive operations (like transaction signing) happen on your Trezor® device, not in the browser. The Bridge simply facilitates this communication without ever accessing your private keys.
While Trezor Bridge™ is required for browser-based access, you can also use the standalone Trezor Suite desktop application which has built-in connectivity. However, for firmware updates and certain features, having the Bridge installed is recommended for all users.
