Blockstream review
Open-source hardware wallet for bitcoin
The story
Blockstream was founded in 2014 by a group that included Adam Back and Pieter Wuille, two names long tied to the bitcoin software itself. The company builds infrastructure for bitcoin: the Liquid sidechain, the Lightning implementation Core Lightning and the Jade hardware wallets. The Jade Plus arrived on 3 January 2025 with a larger, brighter display and a better camera, so you can sign transactions via QR codes without the wallet ever touching a computer. Hardware and firmware are open source. The wallets support bitcoin and Liquid assets only; if you want to hold other coins, look elsewhere. The shop shows prices in your country's currency; according to the product page, Blockstream ships from North America and Germany, and import fees may apply depending on your country.
What they stand for
- Open source, air-gapped via QR
- Bitcoin and Liquid assets only
- Blockstream — active since 2014
The shop shows prices in your country's currency. According to the product page, import fees may apply depending on your country. A Jade cannot be returned once received.
