Unlock Full Crypto Control with Trezor Bridge

When you own a Trezor hardware wallet, the foundation of your secure crypto experience starts with Trezor Bridge. This essential background tool connects your Trezor wallet to Trezor Suite and trusted web applications, providing seamless, encrypted communication. Without it, your cold wallet remains offline — and your funds stay out of reach.

For an effortless setup and total privacy, go to trezor.io/start to install Trezor Bridge and experience secure wallet connectivity.

What Is Trezor Bridge?

Trezor Bridge is a lightweight helper app that enables your computer or browser to recognize and communicate with your Trezor hardware wallet. It replaces the need for types of browser extensions — which can be insecure — with a streamlined, encrypted link that integrates directly with Trezor Suite and other trusted wallets.

Rather than relying on browser plugins, Bridge runs quietly in the background to facilitate:

  • Secure transaction signatures
  • Firmware updates
  • Account balance checks
  • Trezor staking operations
  • Integration with non‑custodial apps

Bridge ensures you're not giving private keys to third parties — you’re simply making your Trezor usable.

Why Trezor Bridge Matters

Without Trezor Bridge, your browser or desktop wallet can't detect or use your Trezor device. That means no sending or receiving crypto, no staking, and no firmware updates. Bridge makes your hardware wallet functional — without compromising the cold storage, offline protection that makes Trezor so secure.

Think of it as the invisible bridge between your Trezor Suite interface and the physical device.

How to Set Up Trezor Bridge

  1. Start at trezor.io/start
  2. Select your model (Model One or Model T)
  3. Download the right version of Trezor Bridge for your operating system
  4. Install and restart your browser or computer
  5. Connect your Trezor hardware wallet
  6. Launch Trezor Suite and enjoy secure access

The setup only takes a few minutes — then you’re ready to manage your portfolio securely.

Trezor Bridge + Trezor Suite = Secure Wallet Management

Once installed, Trezor Bridge powers the full capabilities of Trezor Suite — the official wallet software for your Trezor device. Together, they offer an unbreakable combination of security and convenience:

  • Portfolio management with real‑time balances
  • Secure send/receive with private key isolation
  • Built‑in staking for assets like ADA, DOT, and XTZ — fully non‑custodial
  • Privacy protection with Tor and advanced coin control
  • Hardware wallet firmware updates directly in the app

This setup ensures your keys never leave your device — and your crypto remains uncompromised.
