Secure Communication Between Your Trezor and Web Browser
Trezor Bridge is a lightweight background service that establishes a secure communication channel between your Trezor hardware wallet and your web browser. It eliminates the need for browser extensions while maintaining the highest security standards for managing your cryptocurrency assets.

Creates an isolated communication channel that prevents browser-based attacks from accessing your sensitive wallet data.
Available for Windows, macOS, and Linux systems, ensuring consistent performance across all major operating systems.
Seamlessly receives security patches and feature improvements without requiring manual intervention.
Lightweight design ensures it runs efficiently in the background without slowing down your system.
