Trezor Bridge — Secure Connection for your Trezor

What is Trezor Bridge?

Trezor Bridge is (or historically was) a small helper app that allowed a Trezor hardware wallet to communicate with desktop browsers and Trezor apps. It acted as a bridge between your Trezor device and web-based wallet interfaces, enabling secure signing of transactions while keeping your private keys on the device.

Short background

Over time Trezor has moved functionality into the official Trezor Suite and updated how desktop connections are handled. The standalone Trezor Bridge application has been deprecated in favor of the integrated Suite and updated tooling; if you're setting up today, check the official Trezor resources first. (Note: links to the official Trezor guidance are listed below in Sources.)

How to get started (overview)

Check official pages: Prefer downloads and instructions from Trezor's official site or the Trezor Suite download pages.
Install Trezor Suite: Newer setups often come bundled or recommend Trezor Suite for the most seamless experience.
Plug in your device: Connect your Trezor and follow on-screen prompts — always confirm actions using the physical device.
Uninstall old Bridge: If you have an older standalone Bridge installed, follow official guidance to remove it to avoid conflicts.

Quick safety tips

Only download from official Trezor sources or verified repositories.
When signing transactions, confirm details on the physical Trezor screen — the device is the last line of defense.
Keep your computer updated and avoid unknown browser extensions that claim to manage hardware wallets.

FAQ — short answers

Do I still need Trezor Bridge? It depends — many current users are directed to use Trezor Suite which includes the necessary connectivity. Check official announcements and downloads.

Is Bridge safe? The official package from Trezor is intended to be safe when downloaded from legitimate sources; always verify signatures or use Suite where possible.
