🔌 What is Trezor Bridge?

Trezor Bridge is a communication interface that connects your Trezor hardware wallet with your web browser. It acts like a “translator” between your wallet and browser-based apps or the Trezor Suite (web version).

✅ In simple terms:

Without Trezor Bridge, your computer can't “talk” to your Trezor properly.

🧠 Why Do You Need Trezor Bridge?

When you visit Trezor.io/start and connect your wallet:

  1. Your browser doesn’t natively recognize the Trezor device.
  2. Trezor Bridge steps in to enable secure communication.
  3. It ensures you can authenticate, sign transactions, and manage your crypto safely.

🔽 How to Install Trezor Bridge

Here’s the quick & safe way to install:

📍 Go to the official link:

👉 https://trezor.io/start — it will detect your system and prompt you to install Trezor Bridge if needed.

🧩 Steps:

  2. Download the correct version for your OS (Windows, macOS, Linux)

🔐 Is Trezor Bridge Safe?

Yes — 100% safe and open-source.
 It's built and maintained by SatoshiLabs (the creators of Trezor). The software is audited, transparent, and trusted by millions of users worldwide.

💡 Always install from the official source only — never from third-party links.

🛠️ Troubleshooting Tips:

🤔 Not detecting your device?

  • Make sure Bridge is running (check system tray or background apps)
  • Disable browser extensions (especially crypto-related ones)
  • Try another USB port or cable
  • Restart your browser or device

🌐 Do I Need Bridge for the Trezor Suite App?

❌ No.
 If you're using the Trezor Suite Desktop App, you don’t need Bridge — the desktop app handles communication directly.

✅ You only need Bridge when using the Trezor Suite Web in your browser.
