What is Trezor Bridge?

Trezor Bridge is a crucial piece of software that acts as a secure communication layer between your Trezor hardware wallet and web browsers. In the modern web environment, browsers have restricted direct access to USB devices for security reasons, making Bridge essential for cryptocurrency operations.

Unlike browser extensions that can be compromised, Trezor Bridge operates as a native desktop application, providing a more secure and reliable connection method. It enables your Trezor device to communicate with Trezor Suite, cryptocurrency exchanges, DeFi platforms, and other web-based services without compromising security.

The Bridge software is completely open-source, regularly audited, and developed by SatoshiLabs, the creators of Trezor. It ensures that your private keys never leave the secure environment of your hardware wallet while enabling seamless interaction with the broader cryptocurrency ecosystem.
