Trezor Bridge — The secure gateway to your hardware wallet®
Trezor Bridge is a lightweight, official component that enables secure communication between your Trezor device and desktop applications such as Trezor Suite or compatible web apps. Installed on your computer, Bridge acts as a local, trusted conduit so your device can sign transactions and interact with software without exposing private keys to the Internet.
Why Trezor Bridge matters
Trezor Bridge creates a secure, authenticated channel between your Trezor hardware and desktop clients. It reduces attack surface by limiting direct browser access to the device, handling protocol translation, and enforcing user confirmation on the device for every sensitive action. To set up Bridge, always download from the official start page at Trezor.io/start.
Key features
Local-only communication: Bridge runs on your device and communicates with Trezor hardware locally, ensuring private keys remain offline.
Compatibility: Works with Trezor Suite and many third-party applications that integrate Trezor support.
Automatic updates: Checks for compatibility updates via official channels; always confirm updates on Trezor.io/start.
Security prompts: User approvals and confirmations always happen on the hardware device, not in software alone.
Installing Trezor Bridge
Visit Trezor.io/start and choose Bridge download for your operating system.
Run the installer and follow OS prompts. Bridge runs in the background and automatically starts when needed.
Open Trezor Suite or your chosen app — it will detect Bridge and prompt to pair with your Trezor device.
Security best practices for Bridge
Only download Bridge from Trezor.io/start to avoid malicious copies.
Keep your OS and Bridge updated through official releases to patch security issues quickly.
When pairing, verify the device fingerprints and always confirm transactions on the Trezor screen before approving.
Uninstall Bridge if you move to a new machine and reinstall from the start page when needed.
Troubleshooting
Cannot detect device? Ensure Bridge is running, the cable is functional, and you have the latest Bridge version from Trezor.io/start.
Bridge won't install? Check OS permissions or antivirus blockers — temporarily whitelist the installer and re-run. Always use the official installer from the start page.
Privacy-first
Bridge does not transmit private keys; it simply forwards signed messages locally after user approval on the device.
