About Trezor Bridge™
Trezor Bridge™ is the essential software component that creates a secure communication channel between your Trezor® hardware wallet and your web browser. Designed by SatoshiLabs, Trezor Bridge™ enables you to interact with your cryptocurrency assets safely through the Trezor Wallet interface without compromising security.
Unlike browser extensions that might have security vulnerabilities, Trezor Bridge™ operates as a standalone background service that only activates when you need to confirm a transaction or access your wallet. This innovative approach ensures that your private keys never leave your Trezor® device while providing seamless connectivity.
Enhanced Security
Trezor Bridge™ maintains the highest security standards by keeping all sensitive operations within your Trezor® device. The bridge merely facilitates communication without ever accessing your private keys.
Cross-Platform Support
Available for Windows, macOS, and Linux, Trezor Bridge™ ensures you can securely access your cryptocurrencies regardless of your operating system.
Automatic Updates
Trezor Bridge™ automatically checks for and installs security updates, ensuring you always have the latest protection without manual intervention.
How Trezor Bridge™ Works
When you connect your Trezor® device to your computer, Trezor Bridge™ establishes a secure local connection between the hardware wallet and your browser. This allows you to:
- View your cryptocurrency balances
- Send and receive transactions
- Manage multiple accounts
- Verify transaction details on your Trezor® device
- Update your device firmware
The bridge operates silently in the background and only activates when needed, ensuring minimal system resource usage while maintaining maximum security.
