A Secure Communication Layer for Browser-Based Wallet Access
Trezor Bridge is a lightweight background service that enables secure communication between your Trezor hardware wallet and supported web applications. It acts as a trusted connector, allowing browsers to interact with your device without exposing sensitive data.
Instead of relying on browser extensions alone, Trezor Bridge provides a stable and direct communication channel. This ensures compatibility, reliability, and consistent performance when accessing wallet features through web interfaces.
✔ Enables secure browser-to-device communication
✔ Improves compatibility with web wallets and services
✔ Reduces dependency on browser-specific APIs
✔ Runs silently in the background after installation
Without Trezor Bridge, browsers may not be able to properly detect or communicate with the hardware wallet. The bridge ensures smooth interaction while maintaining strict security boundaries.
Trezor Bridge operates as a local service installed on your computer. When a supported website requests access to your hardware wallet, the request is routed through the bridge, which verifies and forwards it securely to the device.
🔒 No private keys are ever transmitted
🔐 All sensitive actions require on-device confirmation
🚫 Unauthorized requests are blocked automatically
🧠 Minimal attack surface with limited functionality
The bridge does not store wallet data, recovery phrases, or personal information. Its sole purpose is to act as a controlled communication channel, reducing the risk of phishing and malicious browser behavior.
Obtain Trezor Bridge from the official source compatible with your operating system. Always verify that you are downloading authentic software.
Run the installer and follow the on-screen instructions. Once installed, the bridge runs automatically in the background.
Plug in your hardware wallet and open a supported web interface. The bridge will handle the connection securely.
While browser extensions offer convenience, they can be limited by browser updates, permissions, and security constraints. Trezor Bridge provides a more consistent and reliable method for device communication across different browsers.
Trezor Bridge is recommended for users who access their hardware wallet through web-based interfaces rather than desktop applications. It is especially useful for those who prioritize stability and security while interacting with blockchain services online.
Advanced users, long-term holders, and privacy-focused individuals benefit from the additional separation between browser environments and hardware wallets.
Trezor Bridge plays a critical role in maintaining secure and reliable communication between your hardware wallet and the web. By minimizing exposure and enforcing physical confirmation, it strengthens the self-custody model.
When combined with responsible security practices, Trezor Bridge helps ensure that control over digital assets always remains in your hands.
