About Trezor Bridge — New Theme & Layout

Trezor Bridge is the connection layer that enables your Trezor device to communicate securely with browser-based wallets and desktop apps. This mock page shows a fresh dark-mint theme, clear visual hierarchy, and modular layout focused on clarity and trust.

This page presents background information, a modern UI theme, installation instructions, troubleshooting tips, and a compact FAQ. The design intentionally uses mint and purple accents, glassy cards, and readable typography so technical users and newcomers alike can find what they need quickly.

Secure USB Bridge

Encrypted communication channel between your browser and the Trezor device — no private keys leave the device.

Cross-Platform

Supported on Windows, macOS and Linux. Provides consistent behavior for web wallets and desktop apps.

Auto-updates

Automatic update checks keep Bridge current with performance and security fixes (configurable).

Lightweight

Small install footprint and low memory usage — designed to run quietly in the background only when needed.

Installation & Quick Start

  1. Download the latest Bridge installer for your OS from the official Trezor site (or package manager for Linux).
  2. Run the installer and follow OS prompts. Legacy drivers will be updated automatically.
  3. Open your browser or desktop wallet; the app should detect Trezor via Bridge.
  4. If prompted, confirm the device unlock on your Trezor hardware.
# Example: Check Bridge status (Linux)
systemctl --user status trezor-bridge || trezor-bridge --status

Tip: If you prefer not to run background services, use the temporary/portable binary that runs only while you need it.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the difference between Bridge and firmware?
Bridge is the connection software on your computer that talks to the Trezor device. Firmware runs on the device itself and handles keys and signing.
2. How do I know Bridge is safe?
Bridge only forwards encrypted requests to your device; sensitive operations require confirmation on the Trezor device. Source code is public and audited.
3. My browser doesn't detect Trezor — what now?
Try restarting Bridge and the browser, ensure no other USB manager is conflicting, and check permissions for the browser to access USB devices.
4. Can I use Bridge on a headless server?
Yes — there are CLI/daemon modes for server/developer environments. Limit exposure by restricting network access to trusted hosts only.
5. Where can I get logs for troubleshooting?
Logs are available via the application menu or stored in the OS-specific log location. Check the Bridge documentation for exact paths and verbose logging switches.
