What is Trezor Bridge?

Trezor Bridge is a small software application that allows your Trezor hardware wallet to communicate securely with your computer and web browsers. Think of it as the “middleman” that connects your device to Trezor Suite or compatible online wallets so you can manage your crypto safely and efficiently.

Why Trezor Bridge is Important

Modern browsers have security restrictions that prevent direct communication with hardware devices like Trezor. Trezor Bridge solves this problem by creating a secure connection between your Trezor device and your computer, without exposing your private keys online. This ensures:

• Secure communication: Data between your device and software is encrypted.
• Cross-platform support: Works on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
• Browser compatibility: Compatible with Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and other major browsers.

Without Trezor Bridge, your computer and browser cannot recognize your Trezor device, making it impossible to send or receive cryptocurrency.

How to Install Trezor Bridge

1. Visit the Official Site: Go to trezor.io/start.
2. Download Trezor Bridge: Select the version that matches your operating system.
3. Install the Application: Follow the on-screen instructions. Once installed, Trezor Bridge runs in the background.
4. Connect Your Device: Plug in your Trezor and open Trezor Suite or your preferred wallet interface. The software will detect your device automatically.

Updating Trezor Bridge

Trezor Bridge is regularly updated to improve security and compatibility with new devices and firmware. It’s important to:

• Keep Trezor Bridge up to date.
• Only download updates from the official Trezor website.
• Restart your browser after installing or updating to ensure smooth operation.

Quick Tips

• Always ensure your Trezor device firmware is updated before using Trezor Bridge.
• If your device is not recognized, restart your computer and reconnect it.
• Do not download Trezor Bridge from third-party websites to avoid security risks.
