Trezor Bridge — The Secure Gateway to Your Hardware

What Is the New Trezor Bridge?

Trezor Bridge is the communication layer that enables your browser or Trezor Suite App to recognize and interact with your Trezor device. The new concept modernizes this bridge, focusing on privacy, modularity, and zero data retention — so your activity remains fully local and under your control.

No cloud dependencies — all data stays on your computer.
Optimized for cross-platform compatibility (Windows, macOS, Linux).
Instant device recognition with minimal CPU footprint.
Encrypted communication tunnels for data exchange.

The redesigned Bridge also introduces micro-sandboxing, ensuring that any external process interaction remains contained within a verified local environment.

Next-Level Security Architecture

Security is not an add-on — it’s the foundation. Every Trezor Bridge installation now includes integrity verification, runtime checks, and local signing validation. The app communicates using a tokenized handshake protocol, ensuring that even if your system is compromised, unauthorized access to the wallet remains impossible.

Verified binary signatures before execution.
Encrypted session management for all connected devices.
Automatic invalidation of old or mismatched connection tokens.
Independent update verification via SHA-256 integrity checks.

Seamless User Experience

The new Bridge is invisible when you need it to be — and informative when you want visibility. With live connection indicators and adaptive status prompts, it keeps you informed about every handshake, update, and authentication process without breaking your workflow.

Automatic background updates with user consent.
Cross-browser WebUSB and native connection fallback support.
Dynamic status feedback via Suite App notifications.
Lightweight installation, optimized for privacy-first systems.
