Trezor Bridge | Getting Started Guide with handing

A compact, practical walkthrough to understand what Trezor Bridge is, how to check or remove it, and how to use Trezor Suite (recommended modern alternative).

What is Trezor Bridge?

Trezor Bridge used to be the small helper application that bridges communication between your Trezor hardware device and web & desktop apps. It exposed a local web endpoint so wallets and browsers could talk to your Trezor securely. Today Trezor has migrated functionality into Trezor Suite and more robust transports; the standalone Bridge has been deprecated in favor of Suite and newer transport layers.

Quick start (connect your device)

1. Prefer Trezor Suite first

Download Trezor Suite for the simplest, secure experience — Suite includes modern device communication and removes the need for the standalone Bridge on most systems.

2. If a website asks for Bridge

  1. Only download Bridge from an official source (below).
  2. Install it, plug your Trezor in, then confirm any actions on the device screen.
  3. When finished, prefer uninstalling standalone Bridge and use Trezor Suite or the web app where possible.

Installing, updating, or removing Bridge

If you must install Bridge, use official packages and PGP signatures. If you already have a standalone Bridge, Trezor recommends uninstalling it and using Trezor Suite or the web methods that replace Bridge.

Commands & locations

Official Bridge packages and installers are hosted on Trezor infrastructure (see the links below). For advanced users there are also GitHub repositories and tools used by developers.
