Trezor Bridge - Secure Connection Trezor Hardware Wallets

1 What is Trezor Bridge?

Trezor Bridge is a lightweight background service that enables secure communication between your Trezor hardware wallet and supported web browsers. It acts as a facilitator for the cryptographic operations needed to manage your cryptocurrencies safely.

Unlike browser extensions, Trezor Bridge runs as a standalone application that works silently in the background, only activating when you need to confirm a transaction or access your wallet.

3 How It Works

Trezor Bridge establishes a secure local connection between your Trezor hardware wallet and the web browser. When you initiate a transaction or need to access your wallet:

The browser sends a request to Trezor Bridge
Bridge communicates with your connected Trezor device
You confirm the action directly on your Trezor device
The signed transaction is sent back through the secure channel

This process ensures your private keys never leave your Trezor device.

Security Information

Trezor Bridge is designed with security as the primary focus. It employs multiple layers of protection to ensure your cryptocurrency assets remain secure:
