The BitBoxBridge is a small application that runs in the background to connect your BitBox securely to web wallets. It is recommended for all connections to third-party web wallets to ensure stability.

This guide shows you how to install it.

Step 1: Download the installer

Go to the official BitBox downloads page. This is the only safe source for the BitBoxBridge.

• https://bitbox.swiss/download/ 

Scroll down to the BitBoxBridge section and download the correct file for your operating system.

Step 2: Install the BitBoxBridge

Once the download is complete, run the installer:

• Windows: Double-click the downloaded .exe file and follow the installer prompts.
• macOS: Open the downloaded .pkg file and follow the installation steps.
• Linux: Use the package that matches your distribution. For example, use the .deb file for Debian/Ubuntu or the .rpm file for Fedora.

After installation, the BitBoxBridge will start automatically and run in the background whenever your computer is on.

Step 3: Check if it is running

You can quickly verify that the BitBoxBridge is working correctly.

1. Open your web browser.
2. Go to the address: http://localhost:8178
3. You should see a status page with a success message.

Next steps

With the BitBoxBridge running, you can now connect your BitBox to a supported web wallet. Remember to close the BitBoxApp before connecting to a third-party wallet, as the BitBox can only connect to one application at a time.
