Trézór Bridge® | Crypto* in Trèzōr™ Suite™

Trezor Bridge is a vital software component developed by SatoshiLabs that allows your Trezor hardware wallet to communicate directly with your computer's web browser. It acts as a secure, lightweight bridge between your physical Trezor device and web-based applications like Trezor Wallet, Trezor Suite Web, and third-party integrations. Without Trezor Bridge, your browser cannot properly detect or interact with your Trezor wallet—making it an essential tool for seamless operation.

What Is Trezor Bridge?

Trezor Bridge is a background service that enables communication between your Trezor device and browser-based apps. It works on Windows, macOS, and Linux systems. Installed once, it runs silently and automatically whenever you use your Trezor wallet via a supported browser.

Bridge was introduced as a more robust alternative to the older Chrome extension (now deprecated), improving performance, compatibility, and security for browser interactions with Trezor hardware.

Why Trezor Bridge Is Important

Trezor hardware wallets are designed with strict security measures and cannot expose sensitive data directly through insecure channels. Browsers, by default, don’t have native access to USB-connected hardware. Trezor Bridge acts as the trusted intermediary, ensuring that communication between your device and apps like Trezor Suite is both secure and efficient.

How to Install Trezor Bridge

Installing Trezor Bridge is quick and simple:

🔽 Step 1: Download the Bridge Software

Visit the official download page: https://trezor.io/bridge. Choose the version compatible with your operating system.

🖥️ Step 2: Install the Application

Run the installer and follow on-screen instructions. Once installed, Trezor Bridge runs in the background and automatically starts when needed.

🌐 Step 3: Connect Your Device

Plug your Trezor hardware wallet into your computer using a USB cable. Open your browser and navigate to https://suite.trezor.io/web or a compatible third-party service.

🔒 Step 4: Authorize Access

When prompted, authorize the app to connect with your device. Trezor Bridge facilitates this communication, ensuring data is encrypted and private.
