Establish a safe, encrypted connection between your Trezor hardware wallet and your browser. Trezor Bridge ensures your private keys never leave your device.
Trezor Bridge is a communication tool that allows your Trezor hardware wallet to interact securely with web browsers. It acts as a bridge between your Trezor device and web-based applications like Trezor Suite, enabling secure transactions without compromising your private keys.
Unlike browser extensions or other connection methods, Trezor Bridge runs as a background service on your computer, providing a more stable and secure connection. It automatically detects when your Trezor is connected and facilitates communication between the device and supported web applications.
Trezor Bridge does not have access to your private keys or recovery seed. All sensitive operations are performed directly on your Trezor device. The Bridge merely facilitates communication between your hardware wallet and web interfaces.
Setting up Trezor Bridge is a straightforward process that takes just a few minutes. Follow these steps to establish a secure connection between your Trezor device and your computer.
Download the appropriate version of Trezor Bridge for your operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux).
Run the installer and follow the on-screen instructions. The process typically takes less than a minute.
Plug in your Trezor device using the provided USB cable. The Bridge will automatically detect your device.
Access Trezor Suite or other supported web applications. Your Trezor will now communicate securely with these services.

All communication between your Trezor and web applications happens locally on your computer. No sensitive data is transmitted over the internet, providing an additional layer of security.
Trezor Bridge includes built-in diagnostic tools that can help identify connection issues, providing valuable information for troubleshooting.
For optimal security, always verify that you're using the official Trezor Bridge downloaded directly from trezor.io/start. Third-party versions might compromise your device's security.
