Trezor Bridge is a small but essential piece of software developed by SatoshiLabs to ensure smooth and secure communication between your Trezor hardware wallet and your computer. Even though most users focus on the hardware itself, the Bridge is the silent layer that makes it possible for your wallet to interact with web interfaces such as Trezor Suite or other supported cryptocurrency platforms. Without it, your device would not be recognized properly, and you would not be able to send transactions, check balances, or manage your digital assets.
In recent years, Trezor transitioned away from browser plugins and USB communication workarounds, shifting towards a more stable desktop-focused solution. Trezor Bridge is at the heart of this transition, offering better compatibility, improved privacy, and an overall more reliable user experience. Understanding what the Bridge does, how it works, and how to install it can help you keep your device running smoothly and securely.
