Trezor Bridge – Reliable Communication Layer for Your Trezor Wallet
Trezor Bridge is the official connectivity tool developed by Trezor to enable secure communication between your Trezor hardware wallet and your computer’s browser or desktop application. It runs quietly in the background, ensuring that all interactions with your wallet remain encrypted and authenticated.
If you use Trezor Suite or web-based wallet interfaces, Trezor Bridge plays a critical role in maintaining a safe and stable connection.
What Does Trezor Bridge Do?
Trezor Bridge acts as a secure communication channel that allows:
- Your browser to detect your Trezor hardware wallet
- Safe data transfer between device and application
- On-device transaction verification
- Secure firmware installation
- Device authentication
It supports all Trezor devices, including:
- Trezor Model T
- Trezor Model One
Importantly, your private keys never leave the hardware wallet—Trezor Bridge only facilitates secure communication.
Why Trezor Bridge Is Important
Without Trezor Bridge, your computer’s browser may not properly recognize your hardware wallet. Installing the official Bridge ensures:
- Encrypted communication between device and browser
- Protection against unauthorized connections
- Smooth integration with Trezor Suite

🔒 Important: Always download Trezor Bridge from the official Trezor website or Trezor.io/start. Never trust third-party sources, as they may distribute malicious software.

Security Best Practices
- Only install Trezor Bridge from official sources
