Your Secure Gateway to DeFi and Crypto Markets
Encrypted communication between device and browser
Seamless browser compatibility for DeFi access
Runs silently without interrupting workflow
Prevents man-in-the-middle attacks
Trezor Bridge is a essential background service that enables secure communication between your Trezor hardware wallet and web browsers. It acts as a crucial middleware that facilitates the connection between the Trezor Suite application, web-based cryptocurrency platforms, and your physical Trezor device.
Unlike traditional software wallets that operate entirely within your browser, Trezor Bridge maintains the security model where private keys never leave your hardware device, while still allowing you to interact with web-based DeFi platforms and services securely.

Trezor Bridge creates a secure tunnel between your browser and hardware wallet, preventing malicious websites from directly accessing your device while maintaining the security benefits of cold storage.
Enables Trezor devices to work seamlessly with major web browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Brave, without requiring special extensions or complicated setup.
Provides the necessary infrastructure for secure interactions with decentralized finance protocols, allowing you to participate in lending, borrowing, and trading with hardware-level security.
Security First: Trezor Bridge ensures that even when interacting with web-based applications, your private keys remain securely stored within your Trezor device. The bridge only facilitates communication - it never has access to your sensitive data.
Trezor Bridge typically installs automatically when you first connect your Trezor device to Trezor Suite. The software detects your system and installs the appropriate version.
If automatic installation fails, download Trezor Bridge directly from the official Trezor website. Ensure you're downloading from the genuine trezor.io domain.
Execute the downloaded file and follow the installation wizard. The process is quick and typically completes within 1-2 minutes.
After installation, restart your web browser to ensure Trezor Bridge is properly recognized and integrated.
Connect your Trezor hardware wallet via USB cable. The bridge should automatically detect your device and establish a secure connection.
Visit a supported web platform like a DeFi protocol or exchange to verify that your Trezor device is properly recognized and functional.
Trezor Bridge enables secure interactions with Web3 applications and DeFi protocols by providing a safe communication channel between dApps running in your browser and your hardware wallet. This allows you to sign transactions and interact with smart contracts while keeping your private keys protected.
The bridge supports interactions with various blockchain networks including Ethereum, Polygon, Binance Smart Chain, and others, making it your universal gateway to the entire DeFi ecosystem across multiple chains.
Every DeFi transaction initiated through web interfaces is securely routed through Trezor Bridge to your hardware device for verification, ensuring that you maintain physical control over transaction approval.
DeFi Security Advantage: Trezor Bridge maintains the critical security principle of hardware wallets - your private keys never touch your computer or browser. This protects against browser-based malware, phishing attacks, and unauthorized transaction signing.
Security Warning: Only download Trezor Bridge from the official Trezor website. Third-party sources may contain malware designed to intercept your cryptocurrency transactions. Always verify the authenticity of your download.
