BitBoxBridge is a lightweight background service that connects your BitBox02 hardware wallet to compatible third-party wallets and web applications. It’s required when using browsers like Firefox or Safari or desktop apps such as Rabby or Sparrow Wallet.

Important: You don’t need BitBoxBridge if you use the BitBoxApp or access web apps through Google Chrome or Brave, as these browsers support direct communication with the BitBox02.

1. Download BitBoxBridge

  • Visit the official BitBox download page: https://bitbox.swiss/download/

    • Fedora: Use the .rpm package for installation.

To verify that BitBoxBridge is running correctly:

  • Open your browser
