Get started with your new Trezor
Securely connect your Trezor hardware wallet to web browsers and manage your crypto assets safely.
What is Trezor Bridge®?
Trezor Bridge® is a software interface that allows your Trezor hardware wallet to communicate with web browsers. Unlike direct USB connections, Trezor Bridge provides a seamless and secure way for your browser to detect and interact with the device.
It acts as a middle layer, ensuring that private keys remain secure within the device while enabling actions like transactions, signing messages, and accessing decentralized applications (dApps) without compromising security.
Why You Need Trezor Bridge®
Connecting Trezor to your browser without Trezor Bridge can result in limited functionality or detection failures. This bridge ensures secure communication, browser compatibility, transaction safety, and firmware integration.
Secure Communication
All data sent between your browser and Trezor is encrypted. Your private keys never leave the device.
Browser Compatibility
Works with Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Opera, making it easy to access your crypto from any major browser.
Transaction Safety
Verifies transaction details on the device itself before signing, preventing phishing attacks.
Firmware Integration
Keeps your device firmware up to date and ensures smooth integration with Trezor Suite.
How to Install Trezor Bridge®
1. Visit the official Trezor website.
2. Download the version compatible with your operating system (Windows, macOS, Linux).
3. Run the installer and follow on-screen instructions.
4. Restart your browser after installation for proper detection.
