SECURE CONNECTION

Connect Your Trezor
Hardware Wallet

Trezor Bridge is a communication tool that facilitates secure interaction between your Trezor hardware wallet and your browser. Download and install it to manage your cryptocurrency safely.

What is Trezor Bridge?

Trezor Bridge is a program that allows your Trezor hardware wallet to communicate with the Trezor Suite and other web-based cryptocurrency applications. It acts as a secure intermediary between your device and your browser, ensuring that your private keys never leave your hardware wallet.

Unlike browser extensions or plugins that can be vulnerable to security risks, Trezor Bridge runs as a standalone application on your computer. This architecture provides an additional layer of security, isolating the communication between your Trezor device and web applications.

The Bridge software is lightweight, open-source, and designed to work seamlessly in the background. Once installed, it automatically launches when needed and requires no manual configuration. Your Trezor device will be instantly recognized by Trezor Suite and compatible applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Trezor Bridge safe?

Why isn't my Trezor being detected?

Does Trezor Bridge work on mobile devices?

No, Trezor Bridge is designed for desktop operating systems only. For mobile use, you can use Trezor Suite mobile app which supports USB OTG connections on compatible Android devices.

What port does Trezor Bridge use?

Trezor Bridge runs on localhost port 21325. If you have firewall software, ensure this port is allowed for local connections.

Can I uninstall Trezor Bridge?

Yes, you can uninstall it anytime through your system's standard uninstall process. However, you'll need to reinstall it if you want to use web-based applications with your Trezor device in the future.

Troubleshooting

Bridge Not Running

If Trezor Bridge isn't running or starting:

  • Windows: Check Task Manager for trezord.exe process

Connection Issues

If your device connects but apps don't detect it:

  • Ensure no other application is using your Trezor simultaneously
  • Visit localhost:21325 to verify Bridge is responding

Linux-Specific Issues

Common Linux problems and solutions:

  • Install udev rules: Download from trezor.io/learn and place in /etc/udev/rules.d/
  • After adding rules, run: sudo udevadm control --reload-rules && sudo udevadm trigger
  • Add your user to the plugdev group: sudo usermod -aG plugdev $USER
  • Log out and back in for group changes to take effect
