Introduction

Trezor Bridge is a lightweight background service that ensures smooth, secure communication between your Trezor hardware wallet and supported desktop browsers. It acts as a communication layer, enabling your browser to detect and interact with the device without requiring complex manual setup. With Trezor Bridge, users enjoy a seamless experience, enhanced security, and compatibility across operating systems.

Security and Trust

By design, Trezor Bridge only facilitates communication and does not store keys or sensitive information. All critical operations, such as transaction signing, happen inside the Trezor hardware wallet itself. The Bridge merely relays messages between the Suite or compatible wallets and your device. This minimizes the attack surface and maintains trust in the self-custody model.

Installation and Updates

Installing Trezor Bridge is straightforward. Download it from the official Trezor website and run the installer. Once installed, the service runs in the background, automatically handling device connections. Updates are signed and distributed through official channels, ensuring integrity and user confidence.

Cross-Platform Compatibility

Trezor Bridge supports major operating systems including Windows, macOS, and Linux distributions. Regardless of your environment, the Bridge standardizes the connection process so that your browser-based wallet interfaces can seamlessly interact with the Trezor device. This cross-platform support eliminates configuration headaches and provides a unified experience.

User Experience

Most users will rarely notice Trezor Bridge running in the background. Its presence is felt only when connecting a device: a simple prompt or permission request ensures the Suite or wallet app recognizes your Trezor. The Bridge eliminates browser extension requirements and simplifies device communication, making it approachable for beginners while remaining transparent for advanced users.
