Trezor Bridge

Connect your Trezor hardware wallet seamlessly to your browser with the official Trezor Bridge tool — enabling web apps to communicate securely with your device.

🔍 What Is Trezor Bridge?

Trezor Bridge is the official communication layer developed by Trezor (SatoshiLabs) that allows your browser or local apps to talk securely with your Trezor hardware wallet. Because most browsers do not natively enable USB or WebUSB communication with external devices for security reasons, Trezor Bridge acts as a local daemon or background service that safely facilitates that connection.

In short: to use web applications (like Trezor Suite, wallet‑connectors, or dApps) in a browser with your Trezor device, you need Trezor Bridge installed and running. Without it, your browser may not detect your Trezor or show connection errors.
