Maintains the security standards of your Trezor hardware wallet during browser interactions.
Trezor Bridge is an essential background application that enables secure communication between your Trezor hardware wallet and web browsers. When you connect your Trezor device to your computer, Trezor Bridge acts as the intermediary that allows web-based applications like Trezor Suite to interact with your hardware wallet while maintaining the highest security standards.
Without Trezor Bridge, your browser cannot directly communicate with USB devices like the Trezor hardware wallet due to security restrictions. This application bridges that gap by creating a secure localhost connection that enables your Trezor to work seamlessly with web interfaces while keeping your private keys protected within the hardware device at all times.
When you install Trezor Bridge, it runs as a background service on your computer, listening for connection requests from supported web applications. When you access a Trezor-compatible website or application, Trezor Bridge establishes a secure local connection that allows the web interface to send requests to your hardware wallet and receive responses without exposing your private keys to the browser environment.
The communication protocol used by Trezor Bridge ensures that all sensitive operations, such as transaction signing and private key management, occur exclusively on the Trezor hardware device. The bridge only facilitates message passing between the browser and the device, maintaining the security model that makes hardware wallets so effective at protecting cryptocurrency assets.
Installing Trezor Bridge is a straightforward process that typically takes just a few minutes. After downloading the appropriate version for your operating system, run the installer and follow the on-screen instructions. Once installed, Trezor Bridge runs automatically in the background whenever your computer starts up, ready to facilitate connections between your Trezor device and supported web applications.
Trezor Bridge is designed with security as a primary concern. The application only allows connections from localhost, preventing remote access to your Trezor device. All communication between your browser and the bridge is encrypted, and the application doesn't store any sensitive information on your computer. When you use Trezor Bridge with your Trezor hardware wallet, your private keys remain securely stored within the device and are never exposed to your computer or the internet.
