Trezor Bridge® | Connect Your Trezor to the Web
In the world of cryptocurrency security, seamless connectivity and uncompromising protection are essential. Trezor Bridge is the official communication tool that allows your Trezor hardware wallet to interact safely and efficiently with web-based applications. Designed to work silently in the background, Trezor Bridge ensures that your private keys remain protected while giving you smooth access to your digital assets through your browser.
Whether you are managing Bitcoin, Ethereum, or a wide range of supported cryptocurrencies, Trezor Bridge plays a critical role in creating a secure connection between your device and the Trezor web interface.
What Is Trezor Bridge?
Trezor Bridge is lightweight software that acts as a secure “bridge” between your Trezor hardware wallet and your web browser. Modern browsers no longer support older connection methods, which makes Trezor Bridge essential for reliable communication.
Once installed, the software automatically detects your Trezor device and allows supported web wallets to communicate with it securely. This means you can send transactions, manage accounts, and verify actions directly on your hardware wallet without exposing sensitive data to the internet.
To understand how it fits into the broader Trezor ecosystem, you can learn more about the Trezor ecosystem here (internal link 1).
Why You Need Trezor Bridge
Using a hardware wallet without the correct connection layer can result in limited functionality or connection errors. Trezor Bridge solves this by offering:
- Secure communication between your device and browser
- Automatic device detection once connected via USB
- Compatibility with major operating systems including Windows, macOS, and Linux
- Background operation with minimal system resources
Most importantly, Trezor Bridge never accesses or stores your private keys. All sensitive operations are confirmed directly on the hardware wallet screen, reinforcing the security model developed by SatoshiLabs.
For users focused on long-term asset protection, this layer of security is non-negotiable. You can explore advanced security features here (internal link 2).
How Trezor Bridge Works
After installation, Trezor Bridge runs as a background service on your computer. When you visit the Trezor web wallet or another supported application, the browser communicates with the Bridge, which then securely passes commands to your hardware wallet.
Every transaction must still be manually confirmed on the Trezor device itself. This ensures that even if your computer is compromised, unauthorized transactions cannot be approved without physical access to your wallet.
