Trezor Bridge Official | Seamless Communication Between Wallet & Browser

What is Trezor Bridge?

Trezor Bridge is an essential, lightweight software application that enables secure communication between your Trezor hardware wallet and your web browser. This connection allows you to send, receive, and manage your cryptocurrency assets safely through compatible platforms without compatibility issues caused by modern browsers removing native USB support.

Why You Need Trezor Bridge

Modern browsers have phased out direct USB communication with devices, which can interrupt the direct use of hardware wallets like Trezor through a browser interface. Trezor Bridge acts as a secure bridge between your wallet and browser, maintaining encrypted communication for transaction signing, firmware updates, and wallet management.
