BitBoxBridge is a small background application that allows your BitBox to communicate securely with third-party web wallets and browser extensions.

It acts as a bridge, ensuring your private keys never leave your BitBox while you interact with web-based crypto services.

Connecting to web wallets

To connect your BitBox to a web wallet, you first need to install the BitBoxBridge. It is recommended for all browser-based connections, even on Chrome or Brave, as it ensures a stable link to wallet extensions.

Once installed, BitBoxBridge runs automatically in the background. You can then connect your BitBox directly within these supported wallets:

• Rabby Wallet
• MyEtherWallet
• NuFi
• AdaLite
• Bity

Troubleshooting

Close the BitBoxApp The BitBox can only connect to one application at a time. Before connecting to a web wallet, make sure the BitBoxApp is completely closed.

Check if BitBoxBridge is running To confirm the bridge is active, visit http://localhost:8178 in your browser. If it is working, you will see a success message.
