Trezor Bridge โ Seamless Communication Between Your Wallet and Browser
Trezor Bridge is a lightweight background service that allows your web browser to securely communicate with your Trezor hardware wallet. It ensures a smooth and secure connection between your Trezor device and the Trezor web interface when using the browser-based version of Trezor Suite.
Whether youโre accessing your wallet, signing transactions, or interacting with dApps through your browser, Trezor Bridge makes everything work behind the scenes โ reliably and securely.
What Is Trezor Bridge?
Trezor Bridge is software that acts as a communication link between your computerโs browser and your Trezor hardware wallet. It replaces older browser extensions and ensures compatibility across all major web browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, etc.) without requiring additional plugins.
It runs in the background and starts automatically when you connect your Trezor, enabling secure data exchange between Trezor Suite (Web) and your device.
When Do You Need Trezor Bridge?
You need Trezor Bridge if you are:
- Using Trezor Suite Web (browser version)
- Accessing Trezor Wallet on supported browsers
- Connecting your Trezor device to third-party wallets or applications that rely on browser interaction
- Not using the Trezor Suite desktop app (which does not require Trezor Bridge)
For desktop users who prefer the full Trezor Suite application, Bridge is not required. But for web-based interactions, Trezor Bridge is essential.
