Trezor Bridge — Secure Connection Between Your Browser and Hardware Wallet
Trezor Bridge — Secure Connection Between Your Browser and Hardware Wallet
Trezor Bridge is a background communication tool that allows your computer browser to securely interact with hardware wallets made by Trezor. It acts as a connector between your Trezor device and supported web applications or wallet interfaces like Trezor Suite.
Without Trezor Bridge, many browsers cannot directly communicate with the hardware wallet, making it an essential component for smooth and secure crypto operations.
Trezor Bridge is a lightweight software service installed on your computer that enables secure communication between your browser and your Trezor device.
It runs in the background and allows websites or applications to:
Detect your Trezor hardware wallet
Read public wallet information
Send transaction requests for confirmation
Maintain a secure encrypted connection
Importantly, it does not store private keys or crypto assets—it only facilitates communication.
Trezor Bridge acts as a secure communication layer:
You connect your Trezor hardware wallet to your computer
A browser or app sends a request (e.g., check balance or send crypto)
Trezor Bridge forwards the request to the hardware wallet
The device responds securely
You confirm transactions directly on the Trezor device
All sensitive actions still require physical confirmation on the hardware wallet.
It enables encrypted communication between browser applications and your Trezor hardware wallet.
Once installed, it runs automatically without requiring manual activation.
It supports major browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and others that may not natively support hardware wallets.
Trezor Bridge uses minimal system resources and runs silently in the background.
Private keys remain fully stored inside the hardware device, never touching your computer or browser.
It ensures smooth interaction between your Trezor device and web-based crypto applications.
Even browsers without native hardware wallet support can work with Trezor devices.
All sensitive actions still require physical confirmation on the device.
Installation is simple and requires minimal configuration.
Provides stable connectivity for transactions, balance checks, and wallet operations.
