Trezor Bridge

A secure communication tool that enables your Trezor hardware wallet to interact with web-based applications.

What is Trezor Bridge?

Trezor Bridge is a lightweight background service that facilitates communication between your Trezor hardware wallet and web browsers. It acts as a secure bridge, allowing you to access your cryptocurrency assets through web interfaces while maintaining the highest security standards.

Unlike browser extensions, Trezor Bridge runs as a standalone application in the background, providing a more stable and secure connection to your Trezor device.

Key Features

  • Enables secure communication between Trezor devices and web browsers
  • Automatically detects when a Trezor device is connected
  • Works seamlessly with the Trezor Suite web interface
  • Provides enhanced security for cryptocurrency transactions
  • Supports multiple browsers without additional extensions
  • Regularly updated to address security vulnerabilities
  • Lightweight and runs efficiently in the background

How It Works

Trezor Bridge establishes a local connection between your hardware wallet and supported web applications. When you connect your Trezor device to your computer, the Bridge service detects it and enables secure communication with web-based interfaces like Trezor Suite.

The service runs quietly in the background, only activating when needed for wallet interactions. This approach eliminates the need for browser extensions while maintaining a high level of security for your cryptocurrency transactions.

Enhanced Security

Trezor Bridge enhances security by isolating the communication channel between your hardware wallet and web applications. Private keys never leave your Trezor device, ensuring that even if your computer is compromised, your cryptocurrencies remain safe.

Installation Process

Trezor Bridge is automatically installed when you set up your Trezor device with Trezor Suite. The installation is straightforward and typically requires no user configuration. The service runs in the background and starts automatically when needed.

If you need to manually install Trezor Bridge, you can download it directly from the official Trezor website. The installation package is available for all major operating systems.

System Requirements

Trezor Bridge has minimal system requirements and is compatible with most modern computers. It requires a USB port for connecting your Trezor device and a stable internet connection for communicating with web applications.

The service is designed to be lightweight and should not noticeably impact your computer's performance. It automatically updates to ensure compatibility with the latest security standards and Trezor firmware.
