Trezor Bridge is a background service that enables secure communication between your Trezor device and supported web browsers

Secure Communication Channel

Trezor Bridge creates a safe communication channel between your Trezor hardware wallet and web browser, allowing you to interact with web-based wallet interfaces without compromising security.

Unlike browser extensions that might have security vulnerabilities, Trezor Bridge runs as a separate application on your computer, providing an additional layer of protection against potential browser-based threats.

The application works silently in the background, automatically starting when needed and ensuring your Trezor device is always ready to securely confirm transactions and manage your cryptocurrency assets.

Why You Need Trezor Bridge

Trezor Bridge is essential for using your Trezor device with web-based interfaces like the Trezor Wallet. It translates USB communication from your device into a format that web browsers can understand securely.

Without Trezor Bridge, your browser cannot communicate directly with your Trezor device. The bridge acts as a secure intermediary, ensuring that your private keys never leave your hardware wallet while still allowing you to manage your assets through convenient web interfaces.

The application is designed with security as the top priority, using encryption and strict validation to prevent any potential man-in-the-middle attacks or unauthorized access to your device.
