Secure Connection for Your Trezor Wallet

Trezor Bridge establishes a safe communication channel between your Trezor hardware wallet and your browser, enabling seamless transactions and management of your cryptocurrencies.

What is Trezor Bridge?

Trezor Bridge is a lightweight background service that facilitates communication between your Trezor hardware wallet and web-based applications like Trezor Suite. It acts as a secure bridge, allowing your browser to interact with your Trezor device without compromising security.
