What is Trézór Bŕidge®?
Trézór Bŕidge® is a lightweight software component developed by SatoshiLabs® that enables communication between your Trézór™ hardware wallet and supported browsers or desktop applications like Trézór Suite.
It acts as a secure “communication tunnel” that allows your web browser to recognize and interact with your Trézór device without exposing your sensitive data to third-party scripts or web APIs.
Why You Need Trézór Bŕidge®
Without Bridge, browsers cannot directly detect or interact with the Trézór device. Installing Bridge ensures:
- Reliable connection between your wallet and Trezor Suite Web.
- Automatic firmware updates and device verification.
- Secure transaction signing directly on the hardware device.
- Offline communication that keeps private keys safe.
How Trézór Bŕidge® Works
When you connect your hardware wallet via USB, the Bridge service runs silently in the background. It listens locally on your computer (usually localhost:21325) and provides communication between the browser interface and the device.
Every command — such as “view balance,” “sign transaction,” or “verify address” — is securely routed through Bridge, ensuring that no private information leaves your computer.
Installing Trézór Bŕidge®
Step 1: Download from the Official Source
Visit trezor.io/bridge and download the latest version for your operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux). Always verify that the URL begins with https:// to ensure authenticity.
Step 2: Install the Software
Run the installer and follow on-screen instructions. Once installed, the Bridge runs automatically in the background. You won’t see an icon, but you can verify it’s running by connecting your device and opening Trezor Suite Web.
Step 3: Connect Your Device
Plug in your Trézór™ Model One or Model T using the provided USB cable. The Bridge will automatically detect it and establish communication with Trézór Suite.
Using Bridge with Trézór™ Suite
Open suite.trezor.io in your browser or launch the desktop app. The Suite communicates with Bridge to manage crypto assets, verify addresses, and display balances.
The integration ensures:
- Live Portfolio Sync: Your balances update automatically across devices.
- Secure Signing: All transactions are confirmed directly on your device.
- Multi-Currency Support: Works with Bitcoin, Ethereum, ERC-20 tokens, and more.
- Device Integrity Check: Trezor Suite ensures your device is genuine before access.
Troubleshooting Trézór Bŕidge®
Bridge Not Detected?
If Trézór Suite Web doesn’t recognize your device, restart your computer or reinstall the Bridge. Check that your antivirus or firewall isn’t blocking localhost:21325.
Browser Compatibility
Bridge supports Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Opera. Safari users should use the Trezor Suite Desktop for optimal performance.
Reinstall or Update
If you experience connectivity errors, uninstall the old version and reinstall the latest from trezor.io/bridge.
