Trezor Web - Bridge

Learn about the new TREZOR Bridge, a faster, more secure, and more reliable way to connect your TREZOR device with your browser.

First of all, the Bridge is rewritten from scratch, using a more modern code, meaning it is faster, more secure, and more reliable. A big thanks to our development team!

The second reason for this announcement is that the new Bridge is the first part of our transition away from Chrome apps. As you may know, Google is phasing out all Chrome applications later this year, which means that the very popular TREZOR Chrome extension (app) will become obsolete as well. Therefore, we will have to rely on different communication channels for TREZOR. The old Bridge would remain functional, but we decided to update the application to boost compatibility and to provide a fallback option.

So what does this mean for me?

Update: March 6th, 2018

This is the second phase of our transition away from Chrome apps. Updates are recommended for all TREZOR users. To install the new Bridge, please visit the Wallet.

If you are currently using TREZOR Chrome extension, you do not need to do anything yet. You may choose to delete the extension and let the Wallet install the new Bridge if you want to be ready for the later parts of the transition.

If you are currently using the old TREZOR Bridge, please update the application via Wallet.

If you are a new user, the Wallet will ask you to install the new TREZOR Bridge.

If you are using TREZOR Connect apps, like MyEtherWallet, MyCrypto or NEM NanoWallet, please update and install the new TREZOR Bridge. Otherwise, your TREZOR won’t be able to communicate with these applications.

If you do not know what to do, please follow the update instructions in the TREZOR Wallet.

Similarly to the old Bridge, the new TREZOR Bridge works with Google Chrome (and its various versions, such as Chromium) and Firefox.

What will happen to the TREZOR Chrome extension?

In the following weeks, we will start the next phase of the transition. From the subsequent releases of TREZOR Wallet, the Chrome extension will no longer be provided. It will remain functional for those who have installed it before, but the TREZOR Wallet will prompt you to install the new TREZOR Bridge.

If you choose to install the new Bridge today, no further actions will be required from you.
