01 / Understanding the connection
A small bridge.
A more connected workflow.
Trezor Bridge helps compatible wallet applications recognize and communicate with a connected Trezor hardware wallet. In supported browser-based workflows, it links browser and device while you retain control of what you approve on the wallet.
Bridge is not a wallet, installer, or official support destination. It does not replace device confirmation or your wallet application. Connection methods vary by setup, so check current requirements from Trezor and your wallet service before making changes.
