Trezor Bridge helps compatible desktop applications communicate with your connected Trezor device while keeping sensitive wallet actions under your control.
Trezor Bridge is designed to provide communication between a Trezor hardware wallet and compatible software running on your computer. It works in the background so supported applications can detect and communicate with the connected device.
Modern Trezor workflows commonly use Trezor Suite as the primary application for managing a hardware wallet. Depending on the software and operating environment you use, a communication component such as Trezor Bridge may be relevant.
When a compatible application needs to communicate with a connected Trezor device, the communication layer helps create a practical connection between the hardware and desktop environment.
Provides a communication path between compatible desktop software and a connected Trezor hardware wallet.
