🔗 What is Trezor Bridge?

Trezor Bridge is a lightweight software application that allows your Trezor hardware wallet to communicate securely with your computer's web browser. It's what makes the magic happen between your device and the Trezor Suite or other compatible crypto platforms.

When you connect your Trezor device to your computer, Trezor Bridge ensures everything talks smoothly and securely behind the scenes.

🛠️ Why You Need Trezor Bridge

If you’re using Trezor via a browser, or installing Trezor Suite on desktop, Trezor Bridge is required for:

  • ✅ Connecting your Trezor wallet to Trezor.io/Start
  • ✅ Running Trezor Suite (web or desktop versions)
  • ✅ Signing transactions securely from your device
  • ✅ Managing crypto assets via browser extensions (e.g., MetaMask integration)
  • ✅ Ensuring browser-device communication is encrypted and trusted
Without Trezor Bridge, your browser can’t “see” the Trezor device properly. 🧱
