Official Trézor® Bridge | Introducing the New Trezor® ✦

Introduction

Trezor® Bridge was created to help connect a Trezor hardware wallet with compatible software and browsers. Today, however, Trezor has moved toward a more integrated experience through Trezor Suite, where the necessary device-connection functionality is incorporated into the application. Trezor’s official documentation states that the standalone Trezor Bridge is deprecated and recommends removing an older standalone installation where necessary.

For users beginning with a new Trezor device, the recommended starting point is the official Trezor.io/start setup page. It guides users through downloading Trezor Suite, installing it when using the desktop version, connecting the hardware wallet, and completing the device setup.

What Is Trezor Bridge?

Trezor Bridge was originally designed as a background communication layer between a Trezor hardware wallet, Trezor Wallet or Trezor Suite, and supported browsers. Its purpose was to allow software running on a computer to communicate with the connected hardware wallet.

The current Trezor ecosystem has evolved beyond the standalone Bridge application. Trezor documentation explains that Bridge functionality is incorporated into Trezor Suite, reducing the need for users to install a separate connection program.

This change provides a simpler setup path for people who are new to hardware wallets.

Getting Started with Trezor Suite

The official setup process begins at Trezor.io/start. From there, users can download Trezor Suite for desktop or choose to continue with the web application. The official setup instructions then guide users through installation and hardware-wallet initialization.

For a direct starting point, visit Trezor.io/start → connect your device → follow the instructions displayed by Trezor Suite.

You can also return to Trezor.io/start whenever you need the official setup instructions for a new or replacement Trezor device.

Desktop and Web Access

Trezor Suite is available as a desktop application and as a web application. The official documentation describes the web version as an interface that runs directly in a browser without requiring a desktop installation. Supported Chromium-based browsers can communicate with a Trezor device using WebUSB.

For desktop users, Trezor provides Suite downloads for major operating systems, including Windows, macOS, and Linux. Trezor also recommends obtaining software from its official website or its official GitHub release repository and provides instructions for verifying downloads.

Secure Setup Practices ⚠️

When setting up a hardware wallet, always verify that you are using official Trezor resources. Search results can sometimes contain imitation or phishing websites, so avoid downloading wallet software from unfamiliar third-party pages.

Use the official Trezor.io/start page for setup instructions. Never share your wallet backup or recovery words with another person, website, application, or support representative. Your recovery information should remain private and offline.

If you already have an older standalone Trezor Bridge installation, consult Trezor's official instructions regarding its removal rather than downloading another unofficial version. Trezor specifically notes that an old standalone Bridge installation can interfere with future releases.

For security, always verify the website address before downloading software, keep your recovery information private, and use official Trezor documentation for setup and troubleshooting. ✦
