Trezor Bridge

What is Trezor Bridge?

Trezor Bridge is the lightweight, official communication layer developed by SatoshiLabs that enables secure connectivity between your Trezor hardware wallet and desktop browsers or applications. Acting as a trusted intermediary, Trezor Bridge allows your computer to detect the device, exchange encrypted messages, and request transaction signatures while keeping your private keys safely on the hardware. If you use a Trezor device, installing Trezor Bridge is the essential step that unlocks full functionality with Trezor Suite and supported web wallets.

Why install Trezor Bridge?

Installing Trezor Bridge brings immediate benefits: it offers reliable device recognition across Chrome, Firefox, Brave, Edge, and other modern browsers; it simplifies interactions with Trezor Suite; and it prevents the common hiccups that occur when the OS cannot talk to the device directly. Bridge runs in the background with minimal system overhead, automatically updates when new security patches are released, and provides consistent behavior across operating systems. For both beginners and power users, Trezor Bridge smooths the path between your hardware wallet and the services you use every day.

How to install Trezor Bridge

Getting started with Trezor Bridge takes only a few minutes. Visit the official Trezor website and download the Bridge installer matching your operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux). Run the installer and follow the guided prompts — no advanced setup is required. After installation, reconnect your Trezor device and open Trezor Suite or your preferred supported web application. The Bridge will automatically enable secure communication, so you can check balances, sign transactions, and access integrated services safely.

Notes: always download directly from the official source to avoid phishing or tampered installers. If you experience connection issues, a quick restart of the Bridge service or your browser often resolves them. Advanced users can view logs for troubleshooting, but most users won’t need to — the process is designed to be seamless.

Security and privacy

Security is the core purpose of Trezor Bridge. The Bridge never holds or transmits your private keys — those remain isolated inside the hardware wallet. All communications routed through the Bridge are encrypted, and every transaction must still be reviewed and approved on the physical device. This hardware-first approach ensures that even if your computer is compromised, attackers cannot extract keys or sign transactions remotely. Trezor Bridge complements the device’s security model by providing a safe channel for commands and responses while keeping user privacy and data minimization in view.

The Bridge project is maintained by the Trezor team and benefits from regular updates, open-source review, and community feedback. Keeping Bridge up to date is a simple but important step to maintain compatibility and security.
