Secure Connection Software

Trezor Bridge


by SatoshiLabs Team

Trezor Bridge is the essential communication software that connects your Trezor hardware wallet to your computer and web browser. This secure, lightweight application enables seamless interaction between your hardware wallet and supported cryptocurrency applications while maintaining the highest levels of security that Trezor is known for worldwide.

As web browsers continue to evolve and remove support for legacy plugins, Trezor Bridge provides a modern, standardized solution for hardware wallet communication. Unlike browser extensions that can be compromised, Bridge operates at the system level, creating a secure tunnel between your device and applications without ever exposing your private keys or sensitive data.

The software is completely open-source, allowing security experts and the community to audit and verify its integrity. This transparency ensures that users can trust the software with their valuable cryptocurrency holdings. Regular security audits and updates maintain the highest standards of protection against emerging threats.

Installation is straightforward across all major operating systems including Windows, macOS, and Linux. The software automatically detects your Trezor device and establishes a secure connection, enabling you to use your hardware wallet with Trezor Suite, third-party wallets, and decentralized applications with complete confidence.
