Trezor Bridge is a software component that helps supported web-based Trezor services communicate with a compatible Trezor hardware wallet. Learn how it works, when it may be needed, and how to approach installation and wallet connectivity securely.
Trezor Bridge is designed to provide communication between supported browser-based wallet interfaces and a Trezor hardware device. It works in the background so compatible services can detect and communicate with the connected wallet when required.
Helps supported software communicate with a connected Trezor hardware wallet through the appropriate connection layer.
Once installed and running, the Bridge component can operate in the background while supported wallet services are being used.
Provides a connection path for supported applications that need to interact with a compatible Trezor device.
Use official Trezor resources to obtain the appropriate Bridge software when a supported service requires it.
Connect your compatible Trezor hardware wallet to your computer using the supported connection method.
A compatible wallet interface can use the Bridge connection to communicate with the connected hardware device.
Review important wallet and transaction information directly on the Trezor hardware wallet before approving an operation.
If a supported Trezor service requires Trezor Bridge, install it only from an official Trezor source. Using software from unknown websites can introduce unnecessary security risks and may expose your computer or wallet activity to malicious software.
Trezor Bridge and Trezor Suite serve different purposes. Bridge is a communication component for supported browser-based integrations, while Trezor Suite is Trezor's dedicated software environment for interacting with compatible hardware wallets.
Provides communication between supported web services and compatible Trezor hardware devices.
Provides a dedicated interface for managing supported accounts and interacting with a Trezor hardware wallet.
Provides the physical security layer used to verify and approve important wallet operations.
Keep your Trezor device and computer protected, use updated software, and download wallet components only from trusted official sources. Always check the address of a website before entering wallet information.
Your recovery seed is especially sensitive. Never type it into a website, send it through a message, or provide it to someone claiming to be technical support. Genuine wallet support should not require your recovery seed.
Whether Trezor Bridge is required depends on the wallet interface and integration you are using. Some modern Trezor software experiences may handle device communication without requiring users to manage Bridge separately. Always follow the current instructions provided by the official Trezor software or service you are using.
Use official Trezor software, install required components only from trusted sources, protect your recovery information, and verify important wallet actions directly on your hardware device.
