Trézor Bridge – Seamless and Secure Connection to Web3
What Is Trézor Bridge
Trézor Bridge is a secure communication tool developed by SatoshiLabs that connects your Trézor hardware wallet to supported web browsers. It acts as a middle layer between the Trézor device and web-based applications, ensuring secure interaction with wallets, decentralized apps (dApps), and services like MetaMask, MyEtherWallet, and Uniswap.
Without Trézor Bridge, your browser cannot directly communicate with your hardware wallet. It’s an essential component that allows you to use your wallet safely and efficiently in the Web3 ecosystem.
Start Securely at Trezor.io/Start
To install Trézor Bridge properly, always begin at Trezor.io/start. There, you’ll be guided through:
- Device setup and firmware updates
- Creating or recovering a wallet
- Installing Trézor Suite
- Installing Trézor Bridge for browser access
This ensures you download the official, safe version — avoiding fake or malicious apps that could compromise your funds.
Why Trézor Bridge Is Important
Enables Browser Compatibility
Many platforms — including MetaMask, MyEtherWallet, Uniswap, and other DeFi tools — are browser-based. Trézor Bridge allows these platforms to securely communicate with your hardware wallet, enabling you to:
- Confirm transactions
- Sign messages
- Interact with smart contracts
- Use NFTs and dApps
Keeps Your Private Keys Safe
Even when connected to the internet, your private keys never leave your Trézor device. Trézor Bridge simply allows transaction data to flow between your browser and the hardware wallet, while all confirmations must happen on the device screen — keeping full control in your hands.
How to Install Trézor Bridge
- Visit Trezor.io/start
- Follow device setup instructions
- When prompted, click to install Trézor Bridge for your operating system (Windows, macOS, Linux)
- Restart your browser if needed
- Open a supported platform (e.g., MetaMask or MyEtherWallet)
- Select Connect Hardware Wallet and choose Trézor
Now, your device is ready to interact securely with the Web3 world.
Trézor Bridge + Trézor Suite
While Trézor Suite is the primary desktop app for managing your crypto, Trézor Bridge extends functionality to browser wallets. This dual setup allows you to:
- Track assets in Trézor Suite
- Trade or stake crypto in browser dApps
- Safely approve transactions from your hardware device
- Use advanced features like Trézor login or staking
It creates a secure and flexible environment for both casual users and advanced DeFi explorers.

All these actions are verified physically on your Trézor device — eliminating browser-based risk.
