How Trezor Bridge® Works
Trezor Bridge® is a background utility that allows secure communication between your Trezor device and supported apps. Without it, your browser wouldn’t recognize the hardware wallet. Once installed, Bridge runs quietly and ensures your transactions are processed through a trusted channel.
Step 1: Get the Software
Head to trezor.io/bridge and download the correct installer for your operating system. Always check that you’re on the official Trezor website before downloading.
Step 2: Complete Installation
Run the downloaded file and follow the instructions. Once installed, Bridge doesn’t require manual launching. It stays active and handles connections whenever your device is plugged in.
Step 3: Connect and Use
Connect your Trezor wallet via USB. When you access Trezor Suite or compatible apps, Bridge will automatically manage the communication, ensuring secure confirmations appear on your device’s display.
