Trezor Bridge – Secure Connection Between Trezor and Your Computer
Overview
Trezor Bridge was a background application developed to facilitate communication between a Trezor hardware wallet, Trezor Suite, and supported web browsers. It helped computers recognize and communicate with connected Trezor devices, allowing users to interact with their hardware wallet through supported wallet interfaces.
Trezor has since deprecated the standalone Trezor Bridge and recommends users move to the current Trezor Suite experience. Existing standalone Bridge installations may interfere with future releases, so Trezor recommends uninstalling the old application where appropriate. {"fallbackMarkdown":"(Trezor)","reference":{"matched_text":"","prefix":null,"start_idx":1070,"end_idx":1089,"safe_urls":["https://trezor.io/guides/trezor-suite/deprecation-and-removal-of-standalone-trezor-bridge","https://trezor.io/guides/trezor-suite/deprecation-and-removal-of-standalone-trezor-bridge?utm_source=chatgpt.com"],"refs":[],"alt":"(Trezor)","prompt_text":null,"type":"grouped_webpages","error":null,"style":null,"fallback_items":null,"status":"done","items":[{"title":"Deprecation and removal of standalone Trezor Bridge | Trezor","url":"https://trezor.io/guides/trezor-suite/deprecation-and-removal-of-standalone-trezor-bridge?utm_source=chatgpt.com","attribution":"Trezor","pub_date":null,"snippet":"","attribution_segments":null,"supporting_websites":[],"refs":[{"turn_index":0,"ref_type":"search","ref_index":0}],"hue":null,"attributions":null}]},"showLoginRequiredCard":false}
For current users, the recommended starting point is the official Trezor Suite application. If you are setting up a new Trezor device, use the official Trezor.io/start page to download Suite and follow the device setup instructions. Trezor's current setup process guides users through connecting and initializing their hardware wallet. {"fallbackMarkdown":"(Trezor)","reference":{"matched_text":"","prefix":null,"start_idx":1496,"end_idx":1529,"safe_urls":["https://trezor.io/guides/trezor-devices/trezor-safe-7/get-started-with-the-trezor-safe-7","https://trezor.io/guides/trezor-devices/trezor-safe-7/get-started-with-the-trezor-safe-7?utm_source=chatgpt.com","https://trezor.io/start","https://trezor.io/start?utm_source=chatgpt.com"],"refs":[],"alt":"(Trezor)","prompt_text":null,"type":"grouped_webpages","error":null,"style":null,"fallback_items":null,"status":"done","items":[{"title":"Trezor Suite App (Official) | Congrats on your new Trezor | Trezor","url":"https://trezor.io/start?utm_source=chatgpt.com","attribution":"Trezor","pub_date":null,"snippet":"","attribution_segments":null,"supporting_websites":[{"title":"Get started with the Trezor Safe 7 | Trezor Knowledge Base | Trezor","url":"https://trezor.io/guides/trezor-devices/trezor-safe-7/get-started-with-the-trezor-safe-7?utm_source=chatgpt.com","pub_date":null,"snippet":"","attribution":"Trezor"}],"refs":[{"turn_index":0,"ref_type":"search","ref_index":12},{"turn_index":0,"ref_type":"search","ref_index":5}],"hue":null,"attributions":null}]},"showLoginRequiredCard":false}
Features and Purpose of Trezor Bridge
Device communication: The original Bridge enabled communication between a connected Trezor device and compatible computer applications or browsers.
Background operation: Bridge was designed to operate in the background, so users generally did not need to interact with it directly. {"fallbackMarkdown":"(Trezor)","reference":{"matched_text":"","prefix":null,"start_idx":1867,"end_idx":1886,"safe_urls":["https://trezor.io/guides/trezor-suite/deprecation-and-removal-of-standalone-trezor-bridge","https://trezor.io/guides/trezor-suite/deprecation-and-removal-of-standalone-trezor-bridge?utm_source=chatgpt.com"],"refs":[],"alt":"(Trezor)","prompt_text":null,"type":"grouped_webpages","error":null,"style":null,"fallback_items":null,"status":"done","items":[{"title":"Deprecation and removal of standalone Trezor Bridge | Trezor","url":"https://trezor.io/guides/trezor-suite/deprecation-and-removal-of-standalone-trezor-bridge?utm_source=chatgpt.com","attribution":"Trezor","pub_date":null,"snippet":"","attribution_segments":null,"supporting_websites":[],"refs":[{"turn_index":0,"ref_type":"search","ref_index":0}],"hue":null,"attributions":null}]},"showLoginRequiredCard":false}
Browser connectivity: It provided an earlier method for connecting Trezor hardware wallets with supported browser-based wallet interfaces.
Hardware-wallet integration: Bridge helped applications communicate with the Trezor device while keeping sensitive wallet operations on the hardware wallet.
Cross-platform availability: The standalone Bridge was available for operating systems including Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Transition to Trezor Suite: Current Trezor users can use the Trezor Suite desktop application or supported web experience instead of installing the deprecated standalone Bridge. {"fallbackMarkdown":"(Trezor)","reference":{"matched_text":"","prefix":null,"start_idx":2509,"end_idx":2541,"safe_urls":["https://trezor.io/guides/trezor-suite/deprecation-and-removal-of-standalone-trezor-bridge","https://trezor.io/guides/trezor-suite/deprecation-and-removal-of-standalone-trezor-bridge?utm_source=chatgpt.com","https://trezor.io/guides/trezor-suite/use-trezor-suite-in-your-browser-web-app","https://trezor.io/guides/trezor-suite/use-trezor-suite-in-your-browser-web-app?utm_source=chatgpt.com"],"refs":[],"alt":"(Trezor)","prompt_text":null,"type":"grouped_webpages","error":null,"style":null,"fallback_items":null,"status":"done","items":[{"title":"Deprecation and removal of standalone Trezor Bridge | Trezor","url":"https://trezor.io/guides/trezor-suite/deprecation-and-removal-of-standalone-trezor-bridge?utm_source=chatgpt.com","attribution":"Trezor","pub_date":null,"snippet":"","attribution_segments":null,"supporting_websites":[{"title":"Use Trezor Suite in your browser (web app) | Trezor","url":"https://trezor.io/guides/trezor-suite/use-trezor-suite-in-your-browser-web-app?utm_source=chatgpt.com","pub_date":null,"snippet":"","attribution":"Trezor"}],"refs":[{"turn_index":0,"ref_type":"search","ref_index":0},{"turn_index":0,"ref_type":"search","ref_index":1}],"hue":null,"attributions":null}]},"showLoginRequiredCard":false}
How to Connect a Trezor Today
For most users, the simplest approach is to download the official Trezor Suite application. Trezor recommends the desktop application for everyday use because it provides more functionality and performance than the web version.
