What is Trezor Bridge?
Trezor Bridge is the trusted, secure gateway that connects your Trezor hardware wallet to web applications and desktop wallet interfaces. Acting as a bridge between your browser and the hardware device, Trezor Bridge enables reliable communication, device detection, and transaction signing while maintaining the highest security standards.
Why Trezor Bridge matters
Web browsers and operating systems change—Trezor Bridge provides a controlled, signed, and audited transport layer between modern browser sandboxing and the sensitive operations that must remain on the hardware wallet. When you install Trezor Bridge, you get a secure gateway that protects your keys, supports transaction signing, and provides predictable integration points for developers and end users.
Key benefits
- Private keys remain on the hardware wallet; Bridge only routes signed requests.
- Automatic device discovery and secure pairing.
- Official releases are code-signed and verified to prevent tampering.
- Seamless updates to match browser and OS security changes.
Quick integration snippet
/* Example: call local Bridge endpoint from a web app */

.then(r => r.json())
.then(info => console.log('Bridge version', info))
.catch(err => console.warn('Bridge not running', err));
