Today marks a pivotal moment in digital asset security and user experience: introducing the new Trezor® Bridge®, the next chapter in seamless and secure hardware wallet connectivity. Designed for both long‑time Trezor users and newcomers alike, the new Bridge represents months of dedicated innovation, community feedback, and unwavering commitment to safeguarding crypto assets while simplifying the way you interact with the blockchain.
The Trezor team has always stood at the intersection of security, accessibility, and transparency. With the new Bridge, we reaffirm that mission by delivering an experience that is faster, more reliable, and more intuitive than ever before — while preserving the rock‑solid security that Trezor users depend on.
What Is Trezor Bridge?
Trezor Bridge is the essential communication layer between your Trezor hardware wallet and your computer’s web browser or desktop apps. It enables secure data exchange, device recognition, and transaction signing — all without compromising your private keys.
For years, Bridge has bridged the gap between robust offline key storage and online blockchain interaction. Now, the new Trezor Bridge elevates this bridge with cutting‑edge architecture and user‑centric design.
Whether you are sending Bitcoin, interacting with decentralized finance (DeFi), managing NFTs, or using third‑party apps, Bridge makes your Trezor device work effortlessly with your favorite tools.
Why a New Bridge?
Millions of Trezor devices have been trusted by users worldwide for over a decade. That trust demands not only continuity but advancement. The original Bridge served admirably, but as ecosystem complexity grew — with new browsers, operating systems, and emerging Web3 standards — it became clear that an evolution was necessary.
The new Bridge addresses the modern challenges of connectivity and performance with improvements in:
• Cross‑Platform Stability
Whether you are on Windows, macOS, or Linux, Trezor Bridge now offers greater compatibility and fewer connection interruptions. Extensive testing across platforms ensures that your device is recognized instantly and reliably every time.
• Enhanced Security Architecture
Security remains our top priority. The new Bridge uses hardened communication protocols, stronger certificate handling, and proactive defenses against emerging threats. Your private keys never leave your device, and Bridge ensures that only authenticated requests are permitted.
• Faster Connection and Transaction Signing
Through optimized USB communication and better browser integration, Trezor Bridge significantly reduces latency — meaning faster device recognition and quicker transaction approvals. Crypto management should be efficient and seamless; Bridge delivers exactly that.
• Better User Experience
Bridge now includes clearer feedback, smarter error messages, and smoother onboarding. Whether you’re connecting your Trezor for the first time or updating from an older version of Bridge, setup has never been more straightforward.
What’s New in the Trezor Bridge?
Below are the key features and improvements that define the new Trezor Bridge:

How It Works — In Simple Terms
At its core, Trezor Bridge facilitates communication between:
Your Trezor Device — where your private keys are stored offline and never exposed.
Your Computer or Browser — where you prepare transactions and connect to wallets, exchanges, or dApps.
The Blockchain — where transactions are broadcast and confirmed.
Bridge ensures that:
Your device can be safely recognized by your software.
Transaction details can be securely transmitted to your device.
Your device signs transactions without exposing private keys.
Signed transactions are sent to the network for processing.
Every step is encrypted, authenticated, and logged — giving you ultimate peace of mind.

Security You Can Trust
Trezor Bridge does not access your private keys. It acts as a secure translator between your Trezor device and external software. All sensitive operations — especially private key usage and transaction signing — occur on your Trezor device itself.
Every communication goes through multiple layers of verification:
USB communication is encrypted and authenticated.
Browser integrations follow strict security policies.
Bridge regularly syncs with security updates from the core Trezor firmware team.
This layered, defense‑in‑depth approach ensures that even sophisticated threats cannot compromise your keys.
Compatibility and Ecosystem Support
The new Trezor Bridge is compatible with:
Trezor One
Trezor Model T
Trezor Suite desktop and web interfaces
Popular third‑party wallets
Leading DeFi platforms and NFT marketplaces
Multi‑chain support including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and over 1,000 additional assets
As the blockchain ecosystem expands, Bridge will continue to evolve in lockstep — bringing premium compatibility without sacrificing security or usability.
Feedback and Continuous Improvement
We built this new Bridge with community feedback at its core. Thousands of users, developers, and security researchers contributed insights throughout its development.
We will continue to listen, iterate, and improve — with regular updates, transparent changelogs, and open lines of communication through our official forums and support channels.
