Unchained’s collaborative custody platform is now officially compatible with Blockstream Jade, bringing together two of the most trusted names in the Bitcoin space.
Unchained has been instrumental in guiding Bitcoiners through the self-custody journey for over nine years. By integrating Jade products into their collaborative multisignature (multisig) solution, clients can now utilize Blockstream’s premier hardware wallets to maintain full sovereignty over their funds while benefiting from Unchained's practical safety net.
How Jade Works with Unchained
Unchained's flagship product is a collaborative custody model built on a 2-of-3 multisig vault. The client holds two keys, and Unchained holds one. To spend funds, two out of the three keys must sign.
This model provides two distinct advantages:
- A safety net: If you lose one of your keys, Unchained can provide the second signature to help you recover your funds.
- Operational convenience: For day-to-day transactions, you can sign with one of your keys and request Unchained to provide the second signature, allowing you to keep your second key secured in a separate location.
Jade can now serve as one, or both, of those client-held keys inside an Unchained vault, providing single signature (singlesig) users with a seamless upgrade path to collaborative multisig custody.
Why Unchained and Jade Make a Perfect Match
Jade has earned its reputation in Bitcoin custody circles for good reason:
- Fully open-source: Both its hardware and firmware are open-source, meaning anyone can audit exactly what Jade is running to secure their keys.
- Bitcoin-only by design: There are no altcoins, no distractions, and no roadmap compromises driven by chasing other markets. Jade upholds the same philosophy that Unchained is built upon.
- Built for everyone: For newcomers, Jade's intuitive interface makes onboarding a breeze. For power users, advanced features like QR-based air-gapped signing, duress PIN protection, and more are ready when you need them.
Building for Bitcoin’s Future
Blockstream is committed to its mission of championing Bitcoin self-custody. This integration with Unchained reflects that mission by supplying Jades for platforms that refuse to compromise on Bitcoin custody. Unchained customers already know the value of collaborative custody; Jade makes it easier to help them secure their wealth.
