What Is Trezor Bridge?

Trezor Bridge is a communication tool that allows your Trezor hardware wallet to interface with your web browser securely. It acts as a middleware, enabling apps like Trezor Suite or third-party wallets to communicate with your physical Trezor device without requiring browser extensions.

Trezor Bridge is essential for users accessing their wallet through a web browser rather than the standalone desktop app. It provides a stable, secure, and up-to-date connection between your browser and your device, ensuring smooth crypto transactions and account management.

Why Is Trezor Bridge Important?

Without Trezor Bridge, browsers would not be able to access your Trezor hardware wallet. While modern browsers offer limited native support for USB devices, many still require Bridge for compatibility and performance.

How Trezor Bridge Works

Trezor Bridge runs in the background of your operating system. Once installed, it listens for connection requests from compatible applications. When you plug in your Trezor and open a supported app, Trezor Bridge handles the communication between the app and the device, without exposing your private keys.

Security Note: Trezor Bridge does not store or transmit any private information. All sensitive actions are still confirmed physically on your Trezor device.
