In the fast-moving world of cryptocurrency, security and usability must go hand in hand. As the crypto space grows in adoption and complexity, protecting your assets becomes more critical than ever. That’s where Trezor® Bridge comes in—a lightweight but essential component in the Trezor ecosystem that ensures smooth, secure communication between your Trezor hardware wallet and your browser.
Whether you're an experienced crypto investor or a beginner looking for peace of mind, understanding how Trezor Bridge works will help you make the most of your crypto experience without compromising security.
Trezor Bridge is a background application that allows your computer to communicate with your Trezor hardware wallet through a web browser. Due to modern browser security restrictions, direct communication between USB devices and browsers is not allowed. That’s where Bridge steps in—it acts as a secure communication layer between your device and the Trezor web interface.
It’s required when using the Trezor Suite Web App, which allows you to manage your crypto portfolio directly from your browser.
When you plug in your Trezor device to your computer and want to access the Trezor Suite through your browser (like Chrome or Firefox), your operating system doesn’t allow direct access for security reasons. Trezor Bridge solves this by securely relaying commands and data between your wallet and the Suite.
Without Bridge, the web interface wouldn't be able to recognize or communicate with your Trezor device. So if you're using the web version of the Trezor Suite, installing Bridge is a must.
💡 Note: If you're using the desktop version of Trezor Suite, Trezor Bridge is not required, as the application communicates with the device directly.
Here are the main reasons why Bridge is essential and trusted:
Trezor Bridge uses a local connection, meaning your sensitive information never travels to third-party servers. Communication stays between your computer and the Trezor device.
It enables compatibility with multiple browsers like Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and more—allowing seamless access across different systems.
Bridge runs quietly in the background and consumes minimal system resources. It launches automatically when your system boots up, ensuring the device is always ready for use.
Like all Trezor software, Bridge is fully open-source, allowing independent developers and security experts to audit the codebase and ensure complete transparency.
Trezor was the world’s first hardware wallet and has always prioritized user security. Trezor Bridge enhances that legacy by adding a secure access point to the Trezor Suite Web App.
Even if your computer is infected, your crypto remains safe because transactions cannot be completed without your physical confirmation on the hardware device.
Installing Bridge is simple and takes just a few minutes:

Follow the installation instructions. Once complete, the app will run in the background automatically.
