Trezor Bridge — Secure Connection Between Your Trezor Wallet and Applications

Trezor Bridge is a communication tool that helps connect your Trezor® hardware wallet with supported applications on your computer. It works as a background service that allows your device to communicate securely with wallet interfaces, making it easier to manage cryptocurrency accounts while keeping private keys protected inside your hardware wallet.

When using a Trezor device, security is the highest priority. Trezor Bridge helps create a smooth connection between your hardware wallet and compatible software without exposing sensitive wallet information.

What Is Trezor Bridge?

Trezor Bridge is a small software component that enables communication between your Trezor hardware wallet and supported desktop environments. It acts as a link between your device and applications that need to recognize and interact with your wallet.

Unlike traditional login systems, Trezor does not store private keys on your computer. The Bridge only helps establish communication — your private keys remain securely stored inside your Trezor hardware device.

Users commonly install Trezor Bridge when setting up their wallet through Trezor.io/start or when connecting their device with supported wallet applications.

How Does Trezor Bridge Work?

When you connect your Trezor hardware wallet to your computer, Trezor Bridge helps your operating system and wallet software identify the device.

The process generally works like this:

1. Connect your Trezor device using a USB cable.

2. Trezor Bridge detects communication between the device and supported applications.

3. The wallet application communicates with your Trezor hardware wallet.

4. Transaction details are displayed on your Trezor device.

5. You confirm actions directly on the hardware wallet.

This design keeps important security operations inside the physical device.
