Trezor Bridge – Connect Your Hardware Wallet to the Web Safely

Modern crypto users demand both flexibility and security. That’s where Trezor Bridge comes in. It acts as the secure gateway that connects your Trezor hardware wallet to supported browsers and web applications. Whether you're using MetaMask, MyEtherWallet, or interacting with decentralized finance (DeFi) tools, Trezor Bridge ensures all your browser-based crypto actions stay protected.

What Is Trezor Bridge?

Trezor Bridge is a background application that facilitates encrypted communication between your Trezor device and supported web platforms. When you want to use your Trezor wallet on a browser—for signing transactions or accessing accounts—Bridge acts as the link between the hardware and your favorite crypto tools.

It’s the invisible powerhouse that enables your Trezor wallet to talk to browser extensions and web-based wallets. All sensitive data, such as private keys, remain inside your hardware wallet—Bridge simply handles the safe, encrypted connection.

Why You Need Trezor Bridge

Access More Crypto Platforms

Trezor Bridge allows your device to work seamlessly with popular services like:

  • MetaMask
  • MyEtherWallet (MEW)
  • MyCrypto
  • Decentralized Exchanges (DEXs)
  • NFT platforms

It expands your wallet’s capabilities while maintaining its unmatched security.

Browser-Based Crypto Without Risk

Unlike hot wallets or software extensions, Trezor Bridge ensures no sensitive data ever touches your browser. You always approve transactions physically on your device.

Lightweight, Secure, and Always On

Trezor Bridge runs silently in the background after installation. It doesn't interfere with your system and is auto-enabled whenever a connected application needs access.

Ideal for Advanced Users

If you're actively participating in DeFi, managing tokens through MetaMask, or signing smart contract interactions, Trezor Bridge provides the secure foundation you need.
