What Is Trezor Bridge?
Trezor Bridge is the official communication tool developed by SatoshiLabs. It enables a secure, encrypted connection between your Trezor hardware wallet and supported browsers or applications on your computer. Without Trezor Bridge, your computer and browser cannot directly interact with the Trezor device.
Why You Need Trezor Bridge
Trezor Bridge acts as a trusted middle layer that allows your browser or Trezor Suite app to recognize your hardware wallet. It ensures that all data transferred between your device and the app is protected by strong encryption and verified through official Trezor firmware.
- Securely connects your Trezor wallet to your browser or desktop app
- Enables transactions and account management via Trezor Suite
- Works across multiple operating systems
- Verifies communication through the Trezor device display
How to Install Trezor Bridge
Installing Trezor Bridge is fast and simple. Always download it directly from the official Trezor Bridge page to ensure authenticity and prevent tampered versions.
- Step 1: Go to trezor.io/bridge.

Using Trezor Bridge with Trezor Suite

Each action must be confirmed directly on your hardware wallet screen for full protection.
