Trézór Bridge®™ | Secure Crypto Connectivity

Trezor Bridge is a small piece of software that allows your Trezor hardware wallet to communicate securely with your computer and the Trezor Suite or supported web wallets. Essentially, it acts as a bridge between your device and your browser, enabling smooth interaction with cryptocurrencies without exposing your private keys online.

When you connect a Trezor device to a computer for the first time, the system may prompt you to install Trezor Bridge. It works on Windows, macOS, and Linux, ensuring that Trezor devices remain compatible across most platforms. Once installed, it runs in the background and enables your computer to detect the hardware wallet whenever it is plugged in.

The main functions of Trezor Bridge include:

1. Secure Communication – It ensures that all data exchanged between your Trezor device and software is encrypted and safe from interception.
2. Transaction Signing – When you send or receive cryptocurrencies, Trezor Bridge helps your device verify and sign transactions without exposing sensitive information to the internet.
3. Compatibility – Many browser-based wallets, like web wallets for Bitcoin or Ethereum, require Trezor Bridge to recognize the device properly.
4. Firmware Updates – Trezor Bridge allows your Trezor to receive official firmware updates, keeping your device secure against new vulnerabilities.

Installing Trezor Bridge is simple: you download it from the official Trezor website, follow the installation steps, and then connect your device. Once running, you rarely need to interact with it manually; it quietly enables your device to function seamlessly with supported wallets.

It’s important to always download Trezor Bridge from the official source (Trezor.io) to avoid malicious software. Using Trezor Bridge with the official Trezor Suite ensures maximum security, as it prevents your private keys from ever leaving the hardware wallet.

In short, Trezor Bridge is the essential connector that makes your Trezor wallet usable on your computer or web browser while keeping your cryptocurrency safe and private.
