Secure communication software connecting your Trezor hardware wallet to web applications
Trezor Bridge is a background service that enables secure communication between your Trezor hardware wallet and supported web browsers. It acts as a facilitator that allows your browser to interact with the Trezor device without compromising security.
Unlike browser extensions, Trezor Bridge runs as a standalone application in the background, providing a more stable and secure connection to the Trezor Suite and other web-based wallet interfaces.
Maintains the highest security standards by ensuring private keys never leave your Trezor device, while still enabling convenient web interactions.
Provides automatic detection and connection to your Trezor device, eliminating the need for manual configuration each time you use your wallet.
Works with major web browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Brave, ensuring broad accessibility across different platforms.
Receives regular security updates and feature enhancements automatically, keeping your connection secure and up-to-date.
Trezor Bridge establishes a secure communication channel between the Trezor hardware wallet connected to your computer and the web browser. When you interact with a supported web application like Trezor Suite, the Bridge facilitates the following process:
1. The web application sends a request to interact with your Trezor device
2. Trezor Bridge receives this request and forwards it to the connected device
3. You verify and confirm the transaction directly on your Trezor device
4. The signed transaction is sent back through the Bridge to the web application
5. The transaction is broadcast to the blockchain network
This process ensures that your private keys remain secure within the Trezor device at all times, while still allowing convenient interaction with web-based wallet interfaces.
Trezor Bridge is designed to work with various operating systems and browsers. Below are the supported platforms:

All communication between the Bridge and web applications is cryptographically verified to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks.
