Trezor Bridge is software that enables compatible web applications to communicate with a Trezor hardware wallet. It helps establish the connection between your Trezor device and supported browser-based wallet services, allowing you to interact with your digital assets while keeping important security operations on the hardware wallet.
Trezor Bridge acts as a communication layer between your computer and a connected Trezor hardware wallet. When an application needs to communicate with your device, Trezor Bridge helps facilitate that connection.
It is designed to run in the background, so you can connect your Trezor device without having to manually manage the communication process each time.
Using Trezor Bridge is straightforward:
Install the official software from a trusted Trezor source.
Connect your Trezor device to your computer using a compatible USB cable.
Open a supported wallet application or service.
Allow the application to detect your Trezor device.
Confirm important actions directly on your hardware wallet.
Your Trezor device remains an important part of the security process, particularly when approving transactions or verifying sensitive information.
Trezor Bridge helps supported applications communicate with your connected hardware wallet without requiring unnecessary manual configuration.
When performing sensitive operations, review the information displayed on your physical Trezor device before confirming.
After installation, Trezor Bridge can operate in the background and assist compatible applications when your Trezor device is connected.
If a supported application does not detect your Trezor device, try the following:
Check that the USB cable is properly connected.
Disconnect and reconnect your Trezor device.
Make sure the required Trezor software is installed and up to date.
Restart the browser or application.
Check whether another application is currently using the device.
Follow the official Trezor troubleshooting documentation.
Only download Trezor software from official sources. Be careful with websites or messages claiming that you need to provide your recovery seed, PIN, or wallet credentials to fix a connection problem.
Never share your recovery seed with anyone. Legitimate support should not require you to disclose it.
Install the appropriate official Trezor software, connect your hardware wallet, and follow the setup instructions provided for your device and operating system. Once the connection is established, compatible applications can communicate with your Trezor hardware wallet securely and conveniently.
