In the fast-evolving world of digital assets, secure and seamless access to your crypto wallet is essential. That’s where Trézor Bridge® comes into play. As an official software utility developed by SatoshiLabs, Trézor Bridge acts as a communication layer between your Trézor hardware wallet and your web browser, enabling safe, smooth interaction with supported applications.
Whether you're new to Trézor or an experienced user, understanding the role of Trézor Bridge is critical for unlocking the full power of your hardware wallet.
Trézor Bridge® is a lightweight background application that runs on your computer and allows web applications—like Trézor Suite (Web) or third-party wallets—to communicate with your Trézor device.
Think of it as the “translator” between your browser and your hardware wallet. Without it, your web browser wouldn’t be able to detect your Trézor device or initiate secure crypto transactions.
While desktop users can manage their assets through the Trézor Suite Desktop app, many prefer browser-based access via suite.trezor.io/web. However, modern browsers do not natively support USB communication with hardware wallets. That’s where Trézor Bridge comes in—it bridges the gap between your device and browser.
Without Trézor Bridge:
With Trézor Bridge installed:
Trézor Bridge uses encrypted local communication between your browser and the connected Trézor device. This prevents third-party sites or apps from snooping on sensitive data.
The lightweight app runs silently in the background, using minimal resources while ensuring smooth and fast connectivity between your browser and wallet.
The application is designed to auto-update, ensuring you always benefit from the latest patches, features, and security upgrades without manual intervention.
Works with all major operating systems and browsers, including:
Bridge is also required for some third-party platforms that support Trézor, including:
✅ No additional setup is required—Bridge runs silently in the background and only engages when needed.
No. The desktop version communicates directly with your hardware wallet. Bridge is only necessary for web-based usage.
Yes. Bridge is developed by SatoshiLabs, the makers of Trézor, and is open-source. It facilitates only local communication and doesn’t send data over the internet.
Yes, but you’ll lose the ability to use your hardware wallet through web browsers or with many third-party apps.
Bridge runs in the background. When you visit a Trézor-enabled web application, it will connect to your device automatically. You can confirm it’s installed in your system’s background apps or services.
Bridge does not store any user data and does not collect telemetry. All device actions must be approved physically on your Trézor device, providing a second layer of defense.
In the decentralized digital economy, where personal control and data protection are paramount, Trézor Bridge® serves as a crucial piece of the puzzle. It empowers your browser and web-based wallets to work in harmony with the most trusted hardware wallet in the industry—without sacrificing security.
Whether you're accessing Trézor Suite Web, signing a smart contract, or simply checking your balance, Trézor Bridge ensures that every connection is secure, fast, and reliable.
