Trezõr® Brïdge® | Secure Your Crypto Management® 🔐

Trezor Bridge is the essential communication tool that connects your Trezor hardware wallet to supported web browsers. It's a lightweight background service designed to ensure seamless interaction between your Trezor device and web-based wallet interfaces like Trezor Suite or third-party services.

🌉 What is Trezor Bridge?

Trezor Bridge replaces browser extensions and allows websites to securely communicate with your Trezor device via USB. It runs silently in the background and ensures:

🔒 Encrypted data transmission
🖥️ Cross-browser compatibility
⚙️ Smooth integration with Trezor Suite
📶 Automatic device recognition

✅ Important: Trezor Bridge is required for using Trezor with Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Brave browsers.

⬇️ Step 1: Download Trezor Bridge

To begin using your device, download the official Trezor Bridge software:

🔗 Download Trezor Bridge

Choose the version appropriate for your system:

💻 Windows (.exe installer)
🍏 macOS (.dmg file)
🐧 Linux (.tar.gz or .deb packages)

After downloading, follow the on-screen installation steps to complete the setup.

🔧 Step 2: Install and Launch

Once installed, Trezor Bridge will start running automatically in the background:

Launch Trezor Suite or open Trezor Web Suite
Plug in your Trezor device via USB
Bridge will detect your device instantly

No need to manually open the Bridge app — it works silently as a service 🛠️.

🔌 Step 3: Connect Trezor to Trezor Suite

With Bridge installed, open Trezor Suite (web or desktop) to pair your device:

Click “Connect Trezor”
Authorize device communication
Enter your PIN on the Trezor screen
Confirm pairing and firmware check

Once paired, you’ll have full access to your accounts, balances, and transaction features.

💼 Why Use Trezor Bridge?

Without Bridge, your browser can't securely communicate with your hardware wallet. It acts as a trustless interface between web-based services and the physical device.

🧱 Prevents malicious browser scripts from injecting data
💬 Facilitates message signing & crypto operations
🔑 Never stores or exposes private keys

🛡️ Bridge ensures that only you authorize crypto transactions directly from your Trezor screen.
