Trezor Bridge – Connecting Your Trezor Wallet Safely
Trezor Bridge is the software that allows your Trezor hardware wallet to communicate securely with your computer and the Trezor Suite app or supported web browsers. It acts as a bridge between your device and the software, ensuring all interactions happen safely and directly on your device.
