Introducing the new TREZOR Bridge

A smarter, safer way to connect your TREZOR to the apps you love.

Today we’re rolling out an improved Bridge experience that makes device detection more reliable, streamlines first‑time setup, and keeps sensitive confirmations on your hardware screen—where they belong. Whether you use Trezor Suite or compatible browsers and dApps, the new Bridge is designed to stay out of the way and work every time.

What’s new in Bridge

  • Faster, more reliable detection: Improved device discovery across Windows, macOS, and Linux helps Suite and browsers find your wallet quickly.
  • Refined onboarding: Clearer prompts and safer defaults reduce setup friction for first‑time users.
  • Security‑first design: Approvals still happen on your hardware screen, protecting against malicious prompts.
  • Smarter updates: Update guidance keeps you on the most stable, secure version without extra steps.

Why Bridge matters

Your private keys never leave the hardware wallet. Bridge’s job is to help software talk to your device safely, so addresses, messages, and transactions are shown on your hardware display first. That separation keeps you in control—and attackers out.

Consistency: Minimizes USB quirks and driver issues across platforms.
Clarity: Clear prompts reduce confusion during critical confirmations.
Confidence: Start with small tests, then scale up once you’ve verified addresses on‑device.

Quick start: install in six steps

  1. 1) Go official: Type trezor.io/bridge in your browser. Avoid third‑party mirrors.
  2. 2) Pick your OS: Download the Windows, macOS, or Linux installer.
  3. 3) Close apps: Quit Suite and browsers to prevent conflicts.
  4. 4) Install: Run the installer and allow permissions if prompted.
  5. 5) Reopen Suite/web: Bridge launches in the background automatically.
  6. 6) Verify: Connect your TREZOR, unlock it, and confirm addresses on the hardware screen.

Changelog highlights

  • Reliability: Better handling of device reconnects and sleep/wake events.
  • Compatibility: Improved support for popular browsers and USB stacks.
  • Diagnostics: Clearer error states and guidance for quick recovery.
  • Security: Defense‑in‑depth improvements while keeping confirmations on‑device.

FAQ

Is Bridge required for everyone?

Not always. Desktop Suite can sometimes talk to devices directly. The official installer or web flow will prompt you if Bridge is recommended for your setup.

Does Bridge see my recovery seed?

No. The seed and private keys never leave your TREZOR. Bridge enables local communication; approvals happen on the hardware screen.

Can I uninstall Bridge?

Yes. If you no longer need it, uninstall it from your OS settings. Suite will prompt again if it becomes necessary.

How often should I update?

Keep Bridge, Suite, and your OS up to date to benefit from fixes and improvements.
