Trezor Bridge® is an essential background service that enables seamless communication between your Trezor hardware wallet and supported web browsers. It acts as a secure channel, allowing web-based applications such as Trezor Suite to detect and interact with your device. Whether you are managing Bitcoin, Ethereum, or other digital assets, Trezor Bridge ensures a stable and protected connection.

Trezor Bridge is a lightweight software component that runs quietly in the background of your operating system. Its primary role is to establish secure device-to-browser communication. Without it, most modern browsers cannot directly communicate with USB-connected hardware wallets due to security restrictions.

When you connect your Trezor device to a computer, Trezor Bridge creates a local service that listens for requests from trusted web applications. Once permission is granted, data is securely transmitted to your hardware wallet, where all sensitive cryptographic operations occur.
Trezor Bridge operates exclusively on your local machine. It never sends private keys or sensitive information over the internet. Instead, it acts as a mediator between your browser and the hardware device.
Every transaction or action must be physically confirmed on your Trezor device, ensuring that even if your computer is compromised, your funds remain protected.
