What is Trezor Bridge?
Trezor Bridge is a small but powerful application that securely connects your Trezor hardware wallet to your web browser. It enables communication between your wallet and compatible interfaces such as Trezor Suite, MetaMask, and other dApps. Unlike browser plugins or extensions, Trezor Bridge runs locally and acts as a secure communication tunnel, ensuring your private keys are never exposed.
Whether you're sending Bitcoin, swapping tokens, minting NFTs, or exploring decentralized finance, Trezor Bridge ensures that every interaction with your wallet is authenticated, encrypted, and verified — directly on your physical Trezor device.
Why Use Trezor Bridge?
