Trezor Bridge — The Secure Gateway to Your Hardware Wallet®

Bridge is the essential connector that enables your browser and apps to securely communicate with your Trezor hardware wallet. Download official Trezor Bridge to ensure seamless, encrypted hardware wallet interaction.

What Is Trezor Bridge?

Trezor Bridge is a lightweight background service that acts as the bridge between your Trezor hardware wallet and web applications or browser-based tools. Without Bridge, many web apps would not be able to communicate with your device.

Instead of relying on browser extensions (which become deprecated or limited), Bridge runs locally on your operating system (Windows, macOS, Linux), handling communication requests securely. Your browser talks to Bridge; Bridge talks to your Trezor device. All critical operations, such as signing transactions, always occur on the hardware device itself.
