Trezor Bridge® is the official software developed by SatoshiLabs to connect your Trezor hardware wallet securely to web browsers. It enables a safe, encrypted link between your device and applications such as Trezor Suite Web or supported decentralized apps (DApps), allowing you to manage, send, receive, and swap cryptocurrencies without ever exposing your private keys. By bridging the gap between offline hardware storage and online platforms, Trezor Bridge® ensures a seamless and secure crypto management experience.

Why Trezor Bridge® Is Essential

Trezor hardware wallets store private keys offline, protecting your assets from online attacks, malware, and phishing. However, to interact with web-based wallets or applications, your device requires a secure connection to your computer. Trezor Bridge® provides:

  • Encrypted communication between your Trezor wallet and browser
  • Hardware-level transaction verification for maximum security
  • Protection against malware, phishing, and unauthorized access

Without Trezor Bridge®, web applications may fail to detect your device or compromise wallet security, making it a critical component of the Trezor ecosystem.

Key Features of Trezor Bridge®

1. Secure Browser Integration

Trezor Bridge® allows your web browser to communicate with the Trezor hardware wallet safely. All operations, including sending, receiving, and swapping cryptocurrencies, must be confirmed on the device itself, keeping private keys offline and secure.

2. Multi-Platform Support

Trezor Bridge® works across multiple operating systems and browsers:

  • Windows: Windows 10, 11, and newer
  • macOS: 10.13 and later
  • Linux: Modern distributions
  • Browsers: Chrome, Edge, and other Chromium-based browsers

This ensures compatibility for virtually all users.

3. Easy Installation

  1. Download the official installer from Trezor.io/Start

  3. Follow the on-screen instructions to install
  4. Connect your Trezor device via USB

Once installed, supported browsers automatically detect your wallet, enabling secure access and management.

4. Encrypted & Trusted Communication

All data between your device and browser is encrypted, ensuring that sensitive information and transactions remain secure. Combined with Trezor’s offline key storage, this offers maximum protection against hacking attempts or malicious websites.

5. Automatic Updates

Trezor Bridge® is regularly updated to maintain security, enhance compatibility with browsers and operating systems, and improve performance. Users can rest assured that the software is always reliable and up to date.
