Trezor Bridge® is the official connection software developed by SatoshiLabs to securely link your Trezor hardware wallet to computers and web applications. Serving as a trusted intermediary, Trezor Bridge® enables safe communication between your hardware wallet and software like Trezor Suite, supported web wallets, and decentralized applications (DApps). This connection allows you to manage, send, receive, and swap cryptocurrencies while keeping your private keys offline and protected.

Why Trezor Bridge® Is Essential

Trezor hardware wallets are designed to store private keys offline, providing maximum security against malware, hacks, and phishing attacks. However, web-based wallet interactions require a secure channel to communicate with the hardware device. Trezor Bridge® ensures:

  • Encrypted communication between your computer or browser and your Trezor wallet
  • Hardware-level verification for all transactions
  • Protection from unauthorized access, phishing, and malware

Without Trezor Bridge®, web applications may fail to detect the wallet or compromise its security, making it an indispensable component of the Trezor ecosystem.

Key Features of Trezor Bridge®

1. Secure Browser & Desktop Integration

Trezor Bridge® allows browsers and desktop applications to safely detect your Trezor wallet. Every transaction or crypto operation initiated via software must be confirmed on the hardware device, keeping your private keys offline and secure.

2. Multi-Platform Support

The software is compatible with a wide range of operating systems and browsers:

  • Windows (10, 11, and later)
  • macOS (10.13 and above)
  • Linux (modern distributions)
  • Web Browsers: Chrome, Edge, and other Chromium-based browsers

This ensures that Trezor users can access their wallets on almost any setup.

3. Easy Installation

Installing Trezor Bridge® is simple:

  1. Download the official installer from Trezor.io/Start
  2. Verify the download using the digital signature or SHA256 checksum
  3. Install the software following the on-screen instructions
  4. Connect your Trezor device via USB

After installation, supported browsers and applications automatically detect your wallet, enabling secure crypto management.

4. Encrypted & Trusted Communication

All interactions between your Trezor device and software are encrypted through Trezor Bridge®. This ensures that sensitive information, private keys, and transactions remain secure and protected from malicious software or third parties.

5. Regular Updates

Trezor Bridge® receives frequent updates to improve performance, enhance security, and maintain compatibility with new operating systems and browsers. This guarantees that your connection remains secure and reliable over time.
