A secure communication layer that connects Trezor hardware wallets to your browser and applications, enabling safe interaction without exposing private keys.
Install Trezor BridgeTrezor Bridge is a lightweight software component that allows your web browser to communicate securely with a connected Trezor hardware wallet. It acts as a trusted bridge between browser-based applications and the Trezor device.
Unlike browser extensions or cloud-based connectors, Trezor Bridge runs locally on your computer, ensuring that sensitive operations remain isolated and secure.
Modern cryptocurrency applications often run inside web browsers. However, browsers cannot directly access USB hardware devices without a secure intermediary. Trezor Bridge fills this gap.
When installed, Trezor Bridge runs as a background service on your system. When a supported website or application requests access to a Trezor device, the Bridge verifies the request and forwards it securely to the hardware wallet.
Runs locally as a standalone service. Provides consistent, secure communication across supported browsers without exposing sensitive data to browser environments.
Extensions run inside the browser context, which can increase exposure to malicious scripts, compromised websites, or permission misuse.
Trezor Bridge is designed to work seamlessly across major operating systems and browsers.
While Trezor Suite provides a full desktop experience, Trezor Bridge enables browser-based access when needed. This is especially useful for users interacting with Web3 platforms or legacy web wallets that rely on browser communication.
Both tools follow the same security principles: hardware confirmation, offline key storage, and transparent user control.
Trezor Bridge allows secure interaction with decentralized applications, DeFi platforms, and blockchain services accessed through the browser.
Every transaction, message signing request, or authentication step must be physically confirmed on the Trezor device, protecting users from malicious smart contracts or fake interfaces.
Local-only communication, no cloud dependency
Encrypted data exchange between device and application
Manual confirmation on hardware device
Open-source and auditable codebase
Trezor Bridge plays a crucial role in the Trezor security ecosystem by enabling safe communication between hardware wallets and web-based applications. It ensures that convenience never comes at the expense of security.
By combining local execution, hardware confirmation, and open-source transparency, Trezor Bridge helps users interact with the blockchain confidently and securely.
