Trézor® Bridge®®| Introducing the New Trezor

When using a Trezor hardware wallet, secure communication between your device and computer is critical. This is where Trezor Bridge comes into play. Designed as a lightweight communication tool, Trezor Bridge ensures your browser can safely interact with your Trezor device without exposing sensitive data.

What Is Trezor Bridge?

Trezor Bridge is a small background application that enables communication between your Trezor hardware wallet and web-based interfaces such as Trezor Suite (web version). It replaces older browser extensions and offers a more stable, secure, and seamless connection across modern browsers.

Once installed, Trezor Bridge runs quietly in the background, automatically detecting your device when connected via USB.

Why Trezor Bridge Is Important

Web browsers are not designed to communicate directly with hardware wallets. Trezor Bridge acts as a trusted intermediary, ensuring that commands sent from the browser reach your device securely. Most importantly, your private keys never leave the Trezor hardware wallet at any point during this process.

By using Trezor Bridge, users avoid the risks associated with outdated plugins or unofficial third-party connectors that may compromise security.

Simple Installation, Strong Security

Installing Trezor Bridge is straightforward and typically required only once. After installation, supported browsers can immediately interact with your Trezor device without additional configuration. Firmware verification and transaction confirmations still occur directly on the device, maintaining Trezor’s strict security model.

Trezor Bridge is officially maintained and regularly updated, ensuring compatibility with operating system and browser updates.

Who Needs Trezor Bridge?

If you primarily use the desktop version of Trezor Suite, you may not need Trezor Bridge. However, users who access Trezor through a web browser will rely on Trezor Bridge to ensure stable and secure connectivity.

Final Thoughts

Trezor Bridge may operate behind the scenes, but its role is essential. By enabling safe communication between your browser and hardware wallet, it helps preserve the security and reliability Trezor is known for. For web-based wallet access, Trezor Bridge is a must-have component.
