What is Trezor Bridge?

Trezor Bridge is the official communication interface designed to link your Trezor hardware wallet to your desktop browser. Unlike browser extensions or third-party plugins, Trezor Bridge operates as a local service that enhances privacy and reduces exposure to online threats. It's a lightweight yet powerful solution that ensures every transaction you initiate is both authenticated and encrypted.

By creating a direct communication channel between your wallet and supported apps or interfaces, Trezor Bridge acts as a silent guardian, seamlessly working behind the scenes. Its role is fundamental—without it, your browser-based wallet or dashboard wouldn't be able to detect or interact with your Trezor device. Once installed, it runs silently in the background, requiring no user intervention and consuming minimal system resources.

This utility eliminates the reliance on browser-specific extensions, making your wallet interactions smoother and more universal across various platforms. Whether you're a casual investor or a seasoned trader, Trezor Bridge delivers a consistent, no-compromise security experience.

Importantly, Trezor Bridge never stores or transmits your private keys. It simply provides a secure medium through which commands and confirmations pass. This means your secrets stay safe—locked inside your hardware wallet, where they belong.
