Trezor Bridge

Introduction

In the world of cryptocurrency, a secure connection between your browser and your hardware wallet is essential. That’s where Trezor Bridge comes in — a lightweight software that allows your web browser to communicate securely with your Trezor device. Designed for safety, simplicity, and seamless connectivity, Trezor Bridge ensures your transactions stay protected every step of the way.

What is Trezor Bridge?

Trezor Bridge is a communication interface that links your Trezor hardware wallet to supported browsers. It replaces browser plugins and outdated connection methods, offering a streamlined and highly secure experience. Without Trezor Bridge, your browser can't directly interact with your hardware wallet, making this tool critical for most users.

How It Works

Once installed, Trezor Bridge runs in the background on your computer, securely facilitating communication between your Trezor device and your web wallet interface — such as Trezor Suite.

• Installed locally as a background service
• Detects when a Trezor device is connected
• Encrypts and transmits communication between the browser and device
• Ensures data integrity and prevents man-in-the-middle attacks

Key Features of Trezor Bridge

• Secure Data Exchange: Bridge ensures that only verified apps can access your hardware wallet.
• Cross-Platform: Compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux.
• Lightweight: Low memory footprint and fast background operation.
• Automatic Updates: Always stays up to date with the latest security patches.
• No Browser Extension Needed: Reduces dependency on third-party tools.

Security Benefits

The primary purpose of Trezor Bridge is to create a secure layer of communication. Unlike browser plugins, which may be vulnerable to attacks or outdated, Bridge offers:

• Encrypted Channels: Prevents data sniffing and injection attacks
• Localhost Communication: Never exposes your data to the internet
• Whitelisting: Only trusted apps can initiate communication with your device

By isolating the critical connection between your wallet and the browser, Trezor Bridge reduces your overall attack surface.
