Trezõr® Brïdge® | Secure Your Crypto Management® 🔐
Trezor Bridge is the essential communication tool that connects your Trezor hardware wallet to supported web browsers. It's a lightweight background service designed to ensure seamless interaction between your Trezor device and web-based wallet interfaces like Trezor Suite or third-party services.
🌉 What is Trezor Bridge?
Trezor Bridge replaces browser extensions and allows websites to securely communicate with your Trezor device via USB. It runs silently in the background and ensures:
- 🔒 Encrypted data transmission
- 🖥️ Cross-browser compatibility
- ⚙️ Smooth integration with Trezor Suite
- 📶 Automatic device recognition
✅ Important: Trezor Bridge is required for using Trezor with Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Brave browsers.
⬇️ Step 1: Download Trezor Bridge
To begin using your device, download the official Trezor Bridge software:
🔗 Download Trezor Bridge
Choose the version appropriate for your system:
- 💻 Windows (.exe installer)
- 🍏 macOS (.dmg file)
- 🐧 Linux (.tar.gz or .deb packages)
After downloading, follow the on-screen installation steps to complete the setup.
🔧 Step 2: Install and Launch
Once installed, Trezor Bridge will start running automatically in the background:
- Launch Trezor Suite or open Trezor Web Suite
- Plug in your Trezor device via USB
- Bridge will detect your device instantly
No need to manually open the Bridge app — it works silently as a service 🛠️.
🔌 Step 3: Connect Trezor to Trezor Suite
With Bridge installed, open Trezor Suite (web or desktop) to pair your device:
- Click “Connect Trezor”
- Authorize device communication
- Enter your PIN on the Trezor screen
- Confirm pairing and firmware check
Once paired, you’ll have full access to your accounts, balances, and transaction features.
💼 Why Use Trezor Bridge?
Without Bridge, your browser can't securely communicate with your hardware wallet. It acts as a trustless interface between web-based services and the physical device.
- 🧱 Prevents malicious browser scripts from injecting data
- 💬 Facilitates message signing & crypto operations
- 🔑 Never stores or exposes private keys
🛡️ Bridge ensures that only you authorize crypto transactions directly from your Trezor screen.
