Latest stable release
Understanding the technology that keeps your crypto secure
Trezor Bridge serves as a crucial communication layer between your Trezor hardware wallet and your web browser. It's a lightweight application that runs in the background on your computer, facilitating secure data exchange without compromising your private keys.
When you connect your Trezor device to your computer and access Trezor Suite or other compatible web applications, Trezor Bridge acts as the intermediary that translates browser requests into commands your hardware wallet can understand and execute securely.
This architecture ensures that your private keys never leave the secure environment of your Trezor device, even while you're actively managing your cryptocurrency portfolio through web-based interfaces.
Modern web browsers have strict security policies that prevent direct USB device access for safety reasons. While this protects users from malicious websites, it also means that legitimate applications like Trezor Suite need a secure bridge to communicate with your hardware wallet.
Trezor Bridge solves this problem by creating a secure, local server on your computer that web applications can communicate with. This server then safely interfaces with your connected Trezor device, maintaining the security and privacy of your cryptocurrency operations.
Without Trezor Bridge installed, you won't be able to use your Trezor hardware wallet with web-based cryptocurrency applications, making it an essential component of your crypto security infrastructure.
Everything you need for secure cryptocurrency management
Trezor Bridge implements the highest security standards, ensuring that all communication between your browser and hardware wallet is encrypted and authenticated. Your private keys remain isolated within your Trezor device at all times, protected from any potential software vulnerabilities.
Experience instant communication between your Trezor device and web applications. Trezor Bridge is optimized for performance, providing real-time transaction signing and wallet management without any noticeable delays or lag.
Compatible with all major web browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and Opera. Trezor Bridge works seamlessly across different platforms, ensuring you can access your cryptocurrency from your preferred browser.
With a minimal footprint of just a few megabytes, Trezor Bridge runs efficiently in the background without consuming significant system resources. It starts automatically when needed and stays out of your way when not in use.
Stay protected with automatic security updates and feature enhancements. Trezor Bridge checks for updates regularly and installs them seamlessly, ensuring you always have the latest security patches and compatibility improvements.
Trust through transparency. Trezor Bridge is completely open source, allowing security researchers and developers worldwide to audit the code and verify its security. No hidden backdoors, no mysterious code—just pure, verifiable security.

Your cryptocurrency security is our top priority
All communication between Trezor Bridge and your hardware wallet is encrypted using industry-standard cryptographic protocols. Data transmitted is meaningless to anyone who might intercept it.
Unlike cloud-based solutions, Trezor Bridge operates entirely on your local machine. No data is sent to external servers, ensuring your transaction details and wallet information remain completely private.
Every transaction requires physical confirmation on your Trezor device. Even if malware compromises your computer, unauthorized transactions cannot be executed without your explicit approval on the device.
Trezor Bridge undergoes regular security audits by independent cybersecurity firms. These comprehensive reviews ensure that the software maintains the highest security standards and is free from vulnerabilities.
Trezor Bridge is designed with a zero-trust security model. This means that the software assumes all network traffic could be malicious and verifies every request independently.
Your private keys never leave the secure element of your Trezor device, making it virtually impossible for attackers to steal your cryptocurrency, even if they gain complete control of your computer.
Everything you need to know about Trezor Bridge
Yes, Trezor Bridge is required to use your Trezor hardware wallet with web-based applications like Trezor Suite. It acts as the communication layer between your browser and your Trezor device. Without it, web applications cannot communicate with your hardware wallet due to browser security restrictions.
Absolutely. Trezor Bridge is developed by SatoshiLabs, the creators of Trezor hardware wallets, and is completely open source. The code is publicly available for security researchers to audit. All communication is encrypted, and your private keys never leave your Trezor device. The software has been extensively tested and is used by hundreds of thousands of cryptocurrency users worldwide.
Trezor Bridge runs silently in the background and starts automatically when you boot your computer. On Windows, you can check if it's running by looking for the Trezor Bridge icon in your system tray. On macOS, it appears in the menu bar. On Linux, you can check by running the appropriate system command to list running services. When you connect your Trezor device and open Trezor Suite, the application will indicate if Bridge is running properly.
Yes, Trezor Bridge supports multiple Trezor devices connected simultaneously. You can connect multiple hardware wallets to your computer, and Trezor Suite will allow you to switch between them easily. This is particularly useful if you manage multiple wallets or if you're helping family members with their cryptocurrency security.
Trezor Bridge works with all major modern web browsers including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Safari, Opera, and Brave. As long as your browser supports standard web technologies and allows localhost connections, it will work with Trezor Bridge. We recommend keeping your browser updated to the latest version for optimal security and compatibility.
Yes, Trezor Bridge functions offline. It only facilitates local communication between your browser and your Trezor device. However, to access blockchain data, check balances, or broadcast transactions, the web application you're using (like Trezor Suite) will need an internet connection. The Bridge itself doesn't require internet connectivity to operate.
Trezor Bridge includes automatic update functionality. When a new version is available, you'll typically be notified through Trezor Suite or through the Bridge application itself. Updates are installed automatically in most cases. You can also manually download and install the latest version from the official Trezor website. Regular updates ensure you have the latest security patches and feature improvements.
First, ensure your Trezor device is properly connected to your computer with the original USB cable. Try using a different USB port or cable. Make sure Trezor Bridge is running (restart it if necessary). On Linux, you may need to configure udev rules. Check that no other applications are using the device. If problems persist, try reinstalling Trezor Bridge or consult the official Trezor troubleshooting guide.
Currently, Trezor Bridge is designed for desktop operating systems (Windows, macOS, and Linux). For mobile devices, Trezor offers different solutions depending on your device. Android users can use Trezor Suite Lite or compatible mobile wallets that support USB OTG connections. iOS users have more limited options due to Apple's restrictions on USB communication.
Yes, many third-party cryptocurrency applications and platforms support Trezor hardware wallets through Trezor Bridge. This includes popular wallets, exchanges, and DeFi platforms. Always ensure you're using reputable applications and understand what permissions you're granting. Never enter your recovery seed into any third-party application—your Trezor device should be the only place your seed exists.
