Connect your Trézor hardware wallet seamlessly to desktop and web Suite applications using Trézor Bridge® — the official secure communication layer that ensures privacy, authenticity, and smooth device management.
Trézor Bridge® is a lightweight, secure background service that enables communication between your Trézor hardware wallet and your computer applications such as Trezor Suite. It acts as a safe intermediary, ensuring your private keys never leave your device while allowing authorized applications to perform wallet operations such as signing transactions, verifying addresses, and updating firmware.
Modern browsers restrict direct USB communication for security. Trézor Bridge solves this by creating a verified local connection between the browser or desktop app and your hardware wallet.
All communication through Bridge is encrypted and signed. It never handles your seed or private keys — it simply forwards requests between your Suite and hardware wallet securely.
Bridge supports Windows, macOS, and Linux. It provides the same trusted connectivity regardless of your environment, ensuring a consistent experience.
Trézor Bridge functions as a background service that listens on a local endpoint. When Trezor Suite wants to interact with the hardware wallet, it sends requests through Bridge. The hardware wallet validates actions on-device and sends the response back through the Bridge to Suite.
This workflow guarantees no unauthorized action can occur without physical confirmation on your hardware wallet.
Trézor Bridge is designed with minimalism and isolation in mind. It is not a wallet, nor does it process sensitive data. The Bridge does not have access to your recovery seed, PIN, or passphrase. All sensitive operations occur inside the secure hardware chip of your Trezor device.
Bridge’s open-source design means the community can audit the code for transparency. Its cryptographically signed releases protect users from tampered downloads, ensuring integrity from the official source.
Installing Trézor Bridge is straightforward. Follow these steps carefully:
Never install software from unofficial sources. Always verify digital signatures to ensure authenticity.
Bridge is robust, but connectivity issues can arise. Here are common solutions:
Bridge does not collect analytics, telemetry, or any wallet data. It’s a local-only service that operates between your machine and hardware wallet. All communication happens securely within your device — no third-party servers or cloud intermediaries are involved.
This ensures maximum privacy for users, aligning with the open-source philosophy of the Trezor ecosystem.
Bridge consumes minimal system resources and runs quietly in the background, ensuring stable USB communication.
The local endpoint is accessible only to trusted apps, ensuring that no external program can misuse the Bridge connection.
All Bridge source code is publicly available, reinforcing transparency and community trust in the Trezor security ecosystem.
No. It only facilitates communication between your device and Trezor Suite; all critical data stays on your Trezor device.
Yes, for desktop and web Suite access. Without it, Suite cannot communicate securely with the hardware device.
Open Trezor Suite and connect your device. If it recognizes your Trezor immediately, Bridge is running correctly.
