## What is Blockstream Jade

Blockstream Jade is an open-source hardware wallet for Bitcoin and the Liquid Network made by Blockstream, first launched in 2021. The current models are Jade Plus, with a metal body and camera for air-gapped QR signing, and Jade Core. Instead of a secure element chip it uses a blind PIN oracle that works as a virtual secure element.

## Who holds the keys

| Parameter | Details |
|---|---|
| Key control | Self-custody: bitcoin can only be spent with the keys stored encrypted on the Jade. |
| Recovery | Wallet data is stored encrypted on the device and unlocked with a PIN through a companion app over USB, Bluetooth or QR. |
| Custodian | PIN unlock uses Blockstream's blind PIN oracle by default; users can run their own oracle. |

## Features and supported networks

| Parameter | Details |
|---|---|
| Supported networks | Bitcoin and Liquid; QR mode supports Bitcoin only. |
| Secure element | No secure element chip; a blind oracle acts as a virtual secure element against physical key extraction. |
| Connectivity | Jade Plus: USB-C, Bluetooth, camera (QR) and SD card / USB drive; Jade Core: USB-C and Bluetooth. A no-radio firmware variant disables Bluetooth. |
| Display | 1.9-inch IPS LCD, 320x170. |
| Platforms | Used with the Blockstream app (iOS, Android, desktop) or other compatible wallet software. |
| Multisig | Multisig, stateless signing, BIP-39 passphrase, BIP-85 child seeds, duress PIN, genuine-device check. |

## Security and audits

- The Jade firmware is open source on GitHub (Blockstream/Jade) under the MIT licence.
- Jade has no certified secure element; Blockstream describes its blind PIN oracle as a virtual secure element, and the oracle server is also open source.
- Vulnerabilities are reported privately under the repository's security policy (one week to investigate, up to 90 days to fix).

## How voting works

Votes are anonymous and carry no text. Each device has one vote per item; press the same button again to remove it. Cloudflare Turnstile checks that a person is voting. We keep a random device ID in a cookie and a salted hash of the IP address to limit abuse — no names, no accounts. Votes are visitors’ opinions, not investment advice.
