Create security in depth for your bitcoin. @kinetic_finance explains how Jade makes it simple to add advanced protection to your setup with multisig or passphrases.
You can now pick up a Jade at a UPS Access Point in the US and Canada instead of having it shipped to your house.
At checkout, choose pickup and select a nearby UPS Store, CVS, or similar.

Run Jade fully air-gapped on your phone. Unlock, receive, and send all pass through QR codes between Jade and the @Blockstream app.
Every address and transaction gets verified on screen before you trust it.
The Bitcoin class at @Columbia University just wrapped.
We supplied every student with a Blockstream Jade hardware wallet and supplies so they could go hands-on instead of just reading slides.
The class has now ended, and the feedback from the teacher was exactly what we hoped for.
That's the whole mission. Real hardware, real seed phrases, in the hands of the people who'll be building on this in ten years.
Supplying a classroom takes support. If you want to help us do the next one, donate at bitcoinedfoundation.org/dona…
Huge thanks to everyone who made it happen 👇
Finally, thank you to our annual partners @fedibtc and @BlockstreamJade for making our mission a reality. All attendees were given free sats in their Fedi wallets, and everyone received a Jade hardware wallet as part of their ticket purchase. Thank you @lobaestrangeira for attending our event this year and supporting our Fedi Workshop. We look forward to welcoming @Drewfischer and the Jade team back in 2027!
Our CPO Jeff Boortz joined @JD_Durkin on @FINTECHTVglobal to talk through last month's hardware wallet incident.
If a Coldcard created your seed, assume you are at risk. Move to a fresh phrase on hardware you trust. Do not restore the old one.
Jade was not affected. There is no silent RNG fallback. Every recovery phrase is mixed from multiple independent entropy sources.
On 15 August 1971 the dollar left gold, and a savings account stopped holding its value. @kinetic_finance walks through what changed that night and why it still matters.
Bitcoin in self-custody with @BlockstreamJade is money nobody can dilute or freeze.

Jade firmware 1.0.41 is out. It contains security updates and every user should upgrade as soon as they safely can.
Jade is not affected by the Coldcard random number vulnerability. The reasoning, and everything we changed, is in the post.

Open source makes Bitcoin stronger. Implementing the fixes that it surfaces is what actually protects you.
There are four ways to update Jade firmware and the Blockstream app is the easiest. Pick whichever suits your setup and your security model.
Jade air-gapped QR support is new in the @Blockstream desktop app.
Run Jade Plus fully air-gapped and the device never touches your computer. PIN unlock, wallet import, address checks and signing all happen over QR codes, read by the camera on the device.
Your Jade never has to touch the computer.
QR Connect and air-gapped signing land in the desktop app, so @BlockstreamJade pairs, unlocks and signs entirely over QR codes.
Lightning arrives too, in Beta. Switch it on in settings, no second app to run.

I've been waiting on a replacement power supply for my laptop but now that I have power, I'm ready to do fun little video. Will try to get it done tomorrow.
