Trezor Bridge® | Secure Hardware Wallet Connection™

Trezor Bridge® is the official connectivity software that enables secure communication between your Trezor hardware wallet and your web browser. Developed by SatoshiLabs, Trezor Bridge runs quietly in the background on your computer, allowing seamless interaction with supported web interfaces and wallet applications.

It serves as a secure communication layer between your device and your operating system — ensuring safe, encrypted data transfer without exposing your private keys.

🌐 What Is Trezor Bridge®?

Trezor Bridge is a lightweight application installed on your desktop or laptop. Its primary role is to allow your browser to recognize and communicate with your Trezor hardware wallet via USB connection.

When using devices such as the Trezor Model One or Trezor Model T, Trezor Bridge ensures reliable connectivity without the need for browser extensions.

It replaces outdated plug-ins with a more secure, stable, and modern communication system.
