Trezor Bridge | Seamless Connection Between Your Wallet and Browser

Introduction to Trezor Bridge

Trezor Bridge is a lightweight communication tool that allows your Trezor® hardware wallet to connect smoothly with web browsers and crypto applications. It works quietly in the background, enabling secure interaction between your device and supported platforms without exposing your private keys.

When you use Trezor services through a browser, Bridge ensures your wallet is recognized, connected, and able to sign transactions safely. It is an essential component for users who prefer browser-based access instead of only desktop applications.
