Trezor Bridge: Securely Connect Your Hardware Wallet to the Web

Trezor Bridge is a powerful communication tool that enables seamless interaction between your Trezor hardware wallet and supported browsers or desktop applications. Acting as a bridge between your physical wallet and digital interfaces, it ensures safe, encrypted data transfers without the need for browser-based plugins or extensions. Whether you're sending crypto, checking balances, or interacting with dApps, Trezor Bridge plays a vital role in maintaining security, speed, and usability.

🌐 What is Trezor Bridge?

Trezor Bridge is a background service developed by SatoshiLabs to facilitate communication between your Trezor device and compatible applications like Trezor Suite. It replaces the need for outdated browser extensions like Trezor Chrome Extension, providing a more secure, flexible, and robust experience.

Once installed, Trezor Bridge runs quietly in the background, listening for connection requests from your web browser or desktop app. When you access Trezor Suite, for example, Bridge ensures that the browser can communicate with your hardware device — enabling transactions, verification, and wallet management.
