Official Site® | Trezor Bridge | Getting Started®

Welcome to the official guide to getting started with Trezor Bridge — the secure, streamlined way to connect your Trezor hardware wallet with supported web applications. Whether you’re managing cryptocurrency or verifying identities, Trezor Bridge provides the essential link between your device and the browser.

🔍 What Is Trezor Bridge?

Trezor Bridge is a background service developed by SatoshiLabs to facilitate communication between Trezor devices and browser-based interfaces. Unlike browser plugins or extensions, the Bridge is a local application that provides secure, encrypted communication with your wallet.

Key Features:

• Works with all major browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Brave, Edge)
• Does not expose your private keys
• Automatic detection of connected Trezor devices
• Minimal setup required — install and go

🧰 Why You Need Trezor Bridge

To ensure the highest levels of privacy and security, web apps like Trezor Web Suite rely on Bridge to bypass browser restrictions. Without it, your browser can't communicate with your hardware wallet. That means:

• No secure transaction signing
• No account access from web
• No authentication on third-party dApps or wallets

Whether you're a beginner or experienced crypto user, using Bridge gives you full access to all Trezor features on the web — with maximum control.
