Trezor Bridge

Secure Communication Between Your Trezor Device and Web Browser

What is Trezor Bridge?

Trezor Bridge is a lightweight background service that enables secure communication between your Trezor hardware wallet and supported web browsers.

It acts as a facilitator, allowing your browser to interact with your Trezor device without compromising security, ensuring that your private keys never leave the hardware wallet.

How It Works

Trezor Bridge runs locally on your computer and creates a secure communication channel between the Trezor Wallet interface in your browser and your physical Trezor device.

When you initiate a transaction, the details are sent to your Trezor device for verification and signing. The signed transaction is then returned to the browser for broadcasting to the blockchain.
