Trezor Bridge — Secure Wallet Connection

A modern, secure bridge to connect your Trezor hardware wallet to desktop and browser apps. Fast setup, encrypted communication, and full device control.

Trezor Bridge is the essential secure wallet connection layer that enables your desktop and browser applications to communicate safely with your Trezor hardware wallet. Whether you're managing Bitcoin, Ethereum or hundreds of tokens, Trezor Bridge ensures reliable, encrypted, and tamper-resistant connections for secure crypto access.

Why Trezor Bridge matters

Trezor Bridge creates a secure connection channel that isolates private keys on your hardware wallet. With Trezor Bridge, your private keys never leave the device — only signed transactions are exported. This secure wallet connection design prevents remote theft and keeps your crypto safe.

Compatibility

Trezor Bridge works across Windows, macOS, and Linux. It integrates with desktop wallet apps and modern browsers, offering a plug-and-play experience for anyone who wants a secure wallet connection for hardware wallet usage.

How Trezor Bridge protects your crypto

A secure wallet connection depends on two pillars: trusted hardware and a trusted communication layer. Trezor Bridge is designed to act as that trusted communication layer. When you connect your Trezor device, the Bridge establishes an encrypted session, authenticates the device and host, and ensures that signing requests cannot be intercepted or altered in transit.

This secure wallet connection model prevents man-in-the-middle attacks by enforcing strict device-origin checks. Only authorized host software that uses the Bridge API can request signatures. Because the private keys always remain inside the Trezor hardware, the Bridge simply transports requests and responses — never secrets.

Installation & best practices

Installing Trezor Bridge is straightforward: download the official Bridge installer for your operating system, run the installer, and allow the small background service. For best security, always download Trezor Bridge from trusted sources and verify signatures if available. Keep your device firmware up to date and enable any available PIN and passphrase protections.

For developers, Bridge exposes a simple API for building secure wallet connection flows. Follow official docs and recommended patterns to keep integrations secure and user-friendly.

Performance and user experience

Trezor Bridge is optimized for speed and low friction. First-time pairing is quick and subsequent connections happen with minimal latency. The user experience prioritizes clarity: prompts appear on the device for confirmation, ensuring that users explicitly consent to every action. This human-in-the-loop confirmation is a key part of every secure wallet connection.

Privacy considerations

Privacy is built into the secure wallet connection design. Bridge does not collect private keys or transaction contents beyond what is necessary to perform a signature. Where possible, follow privacy-preserving wallet practices, and avoid sharing sensitive logs or debug outputs publicly.
