TREZOR BRIDGE
What is Trezor Bridge?
Trezor Bridge is a critical security protocol designed to bridge the gap between hardware wallets and modern web browsers. By establishing a secure, encrypted communication channel, it allows your Trezor device to verify digital signatures and manage cryptographic keys directly from your browser extension. This direct hardware interaction ensures that your private keys remain isolated from the internet, providing an uncompromised layer of security for every transaction. Without this bridge, hardware wallets would be unable to interact with the decentralized networks they protect, making Trezor Bridge the essential link between your physical security and your digital identity.

Direct, unmediated communication between your Trezor hardware and browser extension ensures zero data exposure and maximum security.
Troubleshooting
Why is my Trezor Bridge not connecting?
Ensure your Trezor device is powered on and the USB-C cable is securely connected to a high-speed USB 3.0 port on your computer. Verify that the Trezor Bridge extension is installed and enabled in your browser.
Which browsers are compatible with Trezor Bridge?
Trezor Bridge is fully compatible with Chrome, Firefox, and Edge. For optimal security and performance, we recommend using the latest stable versions of these browsers.
How do I resolve a hardware wallet pairing error?
Pairing errors are often due to incorrect USB port selection or outdated firmware. Restart your Trezor device, ensure the correct port is selected in the extension settings, and update the firmware via the official Trezor app.
Is my private key ever stored on the browser?
No. Your private keys are never transmitted to the internet or stored on your computer. The Trezor Bridge extension acts as a secure, local bridge between your hardware wallet and the browser, maintaining total control over your assets.
