Trezor Bridge®

A Secure Connection Layer for Your Trezor® Hardware Wallet

Hero Section

Connect your Trezor® device safely to web applications without browser extensions.

Trezor Bridge® is a lightweight background service that enables secure communication between your Trezor® hardware wallet and supported web platforms. It is designed to simplify connectivity while preserving the highest level of crypto security.

With Trezor Bridge®, your private keys remain fully offline while your browser gains a secure channel to interact with your device.

What Makes Trezor Bridge® Different?

Traditional browser-based wallet connections often rely on extensions or insecure scripts. Trezor Bridge® replaces these methods with a dedicated local communication service.

It runs quietly on your computer and acts as a secure translator between your browser and your hardware wallet.

This ensures:

• No browser extensions required

• Reduced attack surface for phishing attempts

• Stable connection across supported applications

• Direct hardware verification for every sensitive action

How Trezor Bridge® Works

Trezor Bridge® operates in the background and activates automatically when needed.

Connection Flow

1. You plug in your Trezor® device via USB

2. Trezor Bridge® detects the device locally

3. Your browser requests access through a supported application

4. Bridge establishes a secure communication tunnel

5. All transactions must be confirmed on the physical device

At no point do private keys leave the hardware wallet.
