Trezor Bridge – Secure Connection Between Your Wallet and the Web

Trezor Bridge is a secure communication service that enables Trezor hardware wallets to interact safely with supported web-based applications. It acts as a trusted link between your physical device and your browser, ensuring that sensitive wallet operations remain protected from online threats.

By running locally on your computer, Trezor Bridge allows smooth and reliable communication without exposing private keys or critical data.

What Is Trezor Bridge?

Trezor Bridge is a lightweight background service installed on your system. Its purpose is to establish a secure connection between your Trezor hardware wallet and web interfaces that support Trezor devices.

Instead of relying on browser extensions or direct web access, Trezor Bridge creates a controlled local environment where commands are securely passed to the hardware device for verification.

Why Trezor Bridge Is Important

Modern browsers are complex environments and common targets for malware, phishing, and malicious scripts. Trezor Bridge reduces these risks by isolating wallet communication from the browser itself.

Key benefits include:

  • No browser extensions required
  • Reduced exposure to malicious scripts
  • Local-only communication channel
  • Hardware-based verification for all actions

This design significantly improves security when accessing wallets through web platforms.

How Trezor Bridge Works

When you connect your Trezor device to your computer, Trezor Bridge automatically detects it. When a supported website requests wallet access, the request is routed through the Bridge service.

Before anything happens, the request must be confirmed on the Trezor device screen. This ensures that no website or application can interact with your wallet without your explicit approval.

Hardware-Level Confirmation

Every sensitive action—such as signing a transaction or granting access—is confirmed directly on the hardware wallet. This physical confirmation step protects users even if their computer or browser is compromised.

Without the device in hand, actions cannot be approved.

Security and Privacy Principles

Trezor Bridge follows the same privacy-first philosophy as Trezor hardware wallets. It does not collect personal data, store private information, or track user activity.

Security principles include:

  • No cloud communication
  • No storage of private keys
  • Minimal system permissions
  • Transparent and predictable behavior

Your wallet data remains under your control at all times.

Compatibility and Use Cases

Trezor Bridge is commonly used when accessing:

  • Web-based wallet interfaces
  • Supported exchanges
  • Portfolio tracking platforms
  • Decentralized applications that integrate Trezor devices

It is compatible with major operating systems and runs quietly in the background once installed.

Trezor Bridge vs Desktop Applications

While desktop applications like Trezor Suite communicate directly with the hardware wallet, web interfaces rely on Trezor Bridge for safe interaction. Both approaches maintain the same level of hardware security, but Bridge is specifically designed for browser-based access.

This gives users flexibility without compromising safety.

Easy Setup and Maintenance

Installing Trezor Bridge is simple and requires minimal configuration. Once installed, updates are handled automatically or with clear prompts, ensuring ongoing compatibility and security.

Most users do not need to interact with the service directly—it simply works when needed.

Who Should Use Trezor Bridge?

Trezor Bridge is ideal for users who:

  • Prefer web-based wallet interfaces
  • Interact with decentralized platforms
  • Want maximum security without browser plugins
  • Use Trezor hardware wallets regularly online

It provides a safe and seamless experience for web interactions.

Secure Connectivity You Can Trust

Trezor Bridge plays a critical role in maintaining the security of Trezor hardware wallets in a web environment. By acting as a trusted local intermediary, it ensures that every interaction is verified, transparent, and under your control.

For users who value security, simplicity, and peace of mind, Trezor Bridge is an essential component of the Trezor ecosystem.
