01 / THE BASICS

A small bridge.
A clearer connection.

Trezor Bridge runs quietly in the background and relays communication between supported browsers and your hardware wallet. It helps Trezor Suite or compatible web apps detect your device.

Bridge doesn’t hold your coins, and it should never ask you to type your recovery seed into a website or computer.

Good to
know.

Do I need Trezor Bridge?

It depends on your setup. Trezor Suite may manage communication for you. Check the latest instructions on Trezor’s official site for your browser and operating system.

Is Bridge a wallet or an exchange?

No. Bridge is a communication service; it does not store cryptocurrency or provide exchange services.

Where should I download it?

What if my device isn’t detected?

Check the USB connection, try a supported browser, and consult the official Trezor troubleshooting guide. Never disclose your recovery seed while troubleshooting.
