Trezor® Bridge: Secure Connection for Your Hardware Wallet

Description: Trezor® Bridge is the official software designed to facilitate communication between your Trezor hardware wallet and your computer. Acting as a secure connector, it ensures that your device interacts safely with Trezor Suite or web-based wallet interfaces.

What Is Trezor® Bridge?

Trezor® Bridge is a background software that runs on your operating system to create a secure, encrypted communication channel between your Trezor device and compatible applications. It replaces the need for browser extensions and provides a seamless user experience across all platforms.

Whether you are using the desktop version of Trezor Suite or the browser-based version, Trezor Bridge ensures that your device is recognized, trusted, and securely connected to perform crypto operations.

Why You Need Trezor® Bridge

Without Trezor Bridge, your browser or desktop app might not be able to detect the connected hardware wallet. This software is essential for:

• Ensuring secure communication between the Trezor wallet and your computer
• Preventing malicious interference or unauthorized access
• Enabling full functionality of Trezor Suite features
• Supporting encrypted data transfer with no risk of key exposure

System Compatibility

Trezor Bridge is available for major operating systems, including:

• Windows
• macOS
• Linux

It operates silently in the background after installation and does not require frequent user interaction.

How to Install Trezor® Bridge

Installing Trezor Bridge is simple and quick. Follow these steps:

1. Download the correct version for your operating system from the official source.
2. Run the installer and follow the on-screen instructions.
3. Restart your browser (if using the web version of Trezor Suite).
4. Connect your Trezor device and launch the Trezor Suite app.

Once installed, Trezor Bridge will automatically detect any connected Trezor hardware wallet and facilitate the secure connection needed for operation.
