Trezor Bridge: Connecting Your Trezor Wallet to Your Computer
Trezor Bridge is a software component designed to help compatible web applications communicate with a Trezor hardware wallet. It acts as a communication layer between the physical Trezor device and supported wallet interfaces.
For the safest setup, obtain Trezor Bridge and related software only through Trezor’s official website.
A Trezor hardware wallet needs a way to communicate securely with compatible software on your computer. Trezor Bridge facilitates this communication, allowing supported applications to recognize and interact with the connected device.
It can be particularly useful when a compatible browser-based wallet or service needs to communicate with the physical Trezor device.
Before installing anything, make sure you are using an official Trezor source.
Visit Trezor's official website.
Locate the current Trezor Bridge download or installation instructions.
Select the version appropriate for your operating system.
Download and install the software.
Restart your browser or supported wallet application if instructed.
Connect your Trezor hardware wallet and follow the on-screen instructions.
Trezor's current software ecosystem may change over time, so follow the installation instructions provided for your specific device and software version.
After installation, connect your Trezor device to your computer using a compatible USB cable. Open the supported wallet application and follow its connection instructions.
If the device is recognized successfully, you can use compatible wallet functions and confirm supported operations through the physical Trezor device.
If a supported application cannot detect your Trezor device, check that:
The USB cable is securely connected.
Your Trezor device is powered on and unlocked.
You installed Trezor Bridge from an official source.
Your browser or wallet application is supported.
The relevant software has been restarted after installation.
Your Trezor software and device firmware are appropriately updated.
If the problem continues, consult Trezor's official support documentation instead of downloading unofficial drivers or utilities.
Trezor Bridge itself does not replace the security of your hardware wallet. Never provide your recovery seed or PIN to a website, support representative, or third-party application.
When signing a cryptocurrency transaction, carefully verify the recipient address and amount displayed on your Trezor device. Approve the transaction only when the details match what you intended.
Trezor Bridge helps establish communication between a Trezor hardware wallet and compatible software. Using the official installation source and keeping your recovery information private are essential steps for maintaining wallet security.
