What is Trezor Bridge?
Trezor Bridge is a communication interface that allows your browser or desktop environment to talk to your Trezor hardware wallet. It's the vital software layer that makes connecting to Trezor Suite or third-party apps fast, safe, and secure — without relying on outdated browser extensions.
When installed, Bridge runs quietly in the background and ensures your Trezor device can be recognized and interact safely with supported apps, giving you full control of your digital assets.
