Learn everything about installing, using, and troubleshooting Trezor Bridge for a safe connection between your Trezor hardware wallet and your computer.
Trezor Bridge is a critical communication tool that enables your Trezor hardware wallet to securely interact with your computer or web browser. It serves as the trusted link between your device and the Trezor Suite interface, ensuring encrypted data transfers and smooth user experience.
Trezor Bridge acts as a background service that facilitates secure USB communication between your computer and the Trezor hardware wallet. Without it, your browser may fail to detect the wallet, preventing access to key features such as sending or receiving cryptocurrencies.
The Bridge enhances security and usability by avoiding third-party browser dependencies. It guarantees a direct, encrypted line between the user’s Trezor device and Trezor Suite.
With the rise of phishing and fake wallet interfaces, Trezor Bridge provides a verified path to communicate with your wallet safely. It blocks unauthorized connections and ensures your private keys remain within the Trezor device.
Bridge improves connection reliability, reduces lag, and minimizes communication errors — essential for smooth crypto transactions.
After installation, reconnect your Trezor device and open Trezor Suite. If your wallet is detected successfully, the Bridge is functioning correctly.
Once the Bridge is installed, Trezor Suite automatically communicates with your wallet. No additional browser extensions are needed.
Plug your Trezor into a USB port. If prompted, allow the Bridge to run in the background. You’ll then be able to access your accounts, balances, and transaction history securely.
The Bridge can support multiple wallets connected at different times. Simply plug in the desired Trezor device and authenticate when requested.
Ensure that Trezor Bridge is running. Restart your browser or computer, then reconnect your device. Check that your USB cable supports data transfer, not just charging.
