Trezor Bridge — Connect Your Trezor Securely

Trezor Bridge is a lightweight background service that enables secure communication between your Trezor hardware wallet and web browsers. It acts as a vital link that allows you to interact with your Trezor device through web interfaces like Trezor Suite, third-party wallets, and other cryptocurrency services.

Unlike browser extensions, Trezor Bridge runs as a standalone application in the background, providing a more secure and reliable connection. It automatically detects when your Trezor device is connected and facilitates the signing of transactions without exposing your private keys to your computer or the internet. This ensures that your sensitive data remains protected within your hardware wallet at all times.

Installation is straightforward—simply download the appropriate version for your operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux), run the installer, and restart your browser. Trezor Bridge automatically updates itself when new versions are available, ensuring you always have the latest security enhancements and features without manual intervention.

One of the key advantages of Trezor Bridge is its compatibility with multiple browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Brave, and Edge. Once installed, it works seamlessly across all supported browsers without requiring additional configuration. The service uses a localhost connection to communicate with your browser, ensuring that all data remains on your device and is never transmitted over the network.

For advanced users, Trezor Bridge also provides a JSON-RPC API that developers can use to integrate Trezor functionality into their applications. This has led to widespread adoption across the cryptocurrency ecosystem, with many popular services leveraging Trezor Bridge for secure transaction signing.

If you encounter connection issues, Trezor Bridge includes a diagnostic tool that can help identify and resolve common problems. The service runs quietly in your system tray, consuming minimal resources while providing maximum security for your cryptocurrency transactions.
