Trezor Bridge – Seamless, Secure Communication Between Trezor and Your Browser
Unlock the Full Power of Your Trezor Wallet
To manage your cryptocurrency securely, your Trezor hardware wallet must communicate safely with your computer or browser. That’s where Trezor Bridge comes in — a lightweight, secure application that enables reliable communication between your Trezor device and supported web interfaces.
Whether you're using Trézoř Suite, WebUSB apps, or third-party wallet platforms, Trezor Bridge ensures your connection is encrypted, efficient, and safe from interception. It is a critical component for anyone using a Trezor device on desktop platforms.
🔍 What Is Trezor Bridge?
