Trezor Bridge — The Secure Gateway to Your Hardware Wallet®

Trezor Bridge connects your desktop and browser to your hardware wallet safely. Download, integrate, and secure your wallets with Trezor Bridge.
Official • Secure • Lightweight Free

Trezor Bridge is the secure gateway and official connector that lets desktop apps and web apps communicate reliably with your Trezor hardware wallet. As the Trezor Bridge — the secure gateway to your hardware wallet® — it provides a lightweight, secure transport layer between browser environments and the hardware device, enabling safe key operations, signing, and account management. Trezor Bridge is purpose-built to protect user keys by ensuring the hardware wallet remains the sole signer of sensitive cryptographic operations.

What makes Trezor Bridge the secure gateway?

The Trezor Bridge architecture isolates device-level commands, uses secure channels, checks firmware consistency, and verifies user approvals on-device. When you install Trezor Bridge, your Trezor hardware wallet communicates via a local secure endpoint that only approved apps can access — this is the hallmark of the Trezor Bridge secure gateway model. The Trezor Bridge ensures that private keys never leave the hardware wallet and that the secure gateway enforces user-confirmed operations.

Key features

  • Secure Gateway — local, verified communication between apps and your device via the Trezor Bridge client.
  • Cross-platform — installers and debuggers for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
  • Developer-friendly — clear integration docs and example code so devs can use Trezor Bridge as the hardware wallet gateway for desktop and web apps.
  • Automatic updates — optional safe updates to keep the bridge current and secure.

Developer quickstart

Developers using Trezor Bridge will find a simple integration path: install the Trezor Bridge client, call the local bridge API from your app, request device discovery, and then perform signing only after the user confirms the operation on the hardware device. The Trezor Bridge developer docs include sample code, code snippets, and a sandbox for testing without risking real funds.

Security best practices

Always verify device firmware and fingerprints using the Trezor Bridge UI, use the Trezor Bridge secure gateway for all communication, require on-device confirmations, and avoid storing private keys off-device. The Bridge is designed to complement secure UX: ask users for explicit confirmations, display transaction details in your app, and make the Trezor Bridge prompt visible and auditable.

Tips to help Bing index this page faster

To help Bing discover and index this page about Trezor Bridge — The Secure Gateway to Your Hardware Wallet®, add the page to your sitemap.xml, verify the site in Bing Webmaster Tools, include the Bing verification meta tag (above), and link to this page from your homepage and developer hub. Use clean semantic markup, structured data (JSON-LD), and unique content on the page to improve crawlability. Note: indexing speed is governed by search engines — these steps help but cannot guarantee instant approval.

Download & install

Download the official Trezor Bridge installer for your OS from the official domain. Follow the in-app instructions to complete installation. After installation the Trezor Bridge runs as a small local service and appears as the secure gateway for supported applications.

Integration highlights for developers

The Trezor Bridge API supports device enumeration, firmware validation, key derivation, and signing. The bridge exposes a local endpoint that client code calls, but always enforce user confirmation on-device before sending signing commands to Trezor Bridge — the secure gateway to your hardware wallet ensures these confirmations are mandatory and auditable.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What is Trezor Bridge?

Trezor Bridge is the official client & local connector that acts as the secure gateway between desktop/browser apps and your Trezor hardware wallet. It ensures private keys remain on-device and that user confirmations happen on the hardware wallet.

2. Is Trezor Bridge required to use a Trezor hardware wallet?

For many desktop and browser integrations, yes — Trezor Bridge is recommended to provide a secure gateway to communicate reliably with the device. Some browser extensions or native apps may include alternative connection methods.

3. How do I know Bridge is safe?

Bridge uses a local service architecture and enforces signed firmware checks and on-device confirmations. Always download Bridge from the official domain, verify checksums, and keep the client updated.

4. Can developers test without real funds?

Yes. Use testnets and the sandbox mode described in the developer docs to test Bridge integrations and signing flows without risking live assets.

5. How can I help index this page in Bing faster?

Verify your site in Bing Webmaster Tools, submit your sitemap, use structured data (included), link from your homepage and developer hub, and ensure robots.txt allows crawling. These actions increase the chance of faster discovery but do not guarantee immediate indexing.
