Trézor Bridge – Enabling Safe and Seamless Web3 Access

What is Trézor Bridge

Trézor Bridge is the official communication layer between your Trézor hardware wallet and your internet browser. It allows your wallet to securely interact with browser-based applications like MetaMask, Web3 dApps, and decentralized exchanges without exposing your private keys. Running silently in the background, Trézor Bridge ensures that all blockchain operations performed via your browser are verified and approved directly on your hardware wallet.

It’s a vital part of the Trézor ecosystem and essential for anyone using their wallet with online services.

Why You Need Trézor Bridge

Browsers are not built to communicate directly with USB hardware devices. Trézor Bridge fills this gap. Without it, your browser wouldn’t be able to detect or interact with your Trézor device, making it impossible to confirm transactions, connect to dApps, or use MetaMask securely with your hardware wallet.

With Trézor Bridge installed, you can:

  • Connect your Trézor wallet to MetaMask
  • Safely interact with Web3 platforms like Uniswap and OpenSea
  • Confirm all transactions physically on your device
  • Use passwordless logins via Trézor Login
  • Keep your keys offline and protected at all times

Trézor Bridge gives you convenience without compromising on security.

How to Install Trézor Bridge

Installing Trézor Bridge is quick and safe when done from the official Trézor setup portal: trezor.io/start.

Follow these steps:

  1. Connect your Trézor hardware wallet to your computer
  2. Go to trezor.io/start and follow the guided setup
  3. If using a browser or connecting to MetaMask, download Trézor Bridge when prompted
  4. Complete the installation and allow it to run in the background
  5. Your browser can now securely communicate with your Trézor device

There’s no manual setup needed — once installed, Trézor Bridge runs automatically when required.
