Trezor Bridge®

Connect Your Trezor Hardware Wallet to Web Browsers Securely

What is Trezor Bridge?

Trezor Bridge is a lightweight background application that serves as the essential communication layer between your Trezor hardware wallet and modern web browsers. Acting as a secure intermediary, it enables seamless interaction with web-based cryptocurrency services while maintaining the highest security standards.

Unlike browser extensions that can be vulnerable to attacks, Trezor Bridge operates at the system level, providing a trusted pathway for your hardware wallet to communicate with web applications. It never stores your private keys or funds – it simply facilitates secure message passing between your device and browser.
