Today, we’re thrilled to announce the newest member of the Blockstream hardware wallet family: Jade Core.
Jade Core is the easiest way for anyone to take self-custody of their bitcoin with a hardware wallet. We’ve taken the enhanced design and trusted, open-source principles that secure the Jade Plus and packaged them into a dead simple device that’s purely focused on simple self-custody, without all the bells and whistles of more advanced devices.
If you’ve let your bitcoin sit idly on an exchange, here’s your call to truly own your wealth with Jade Core.
Self-Custody Made Simple
Jade Core strips away all the friction. Whether you're moving your bitcoin off an exchange or buying it in the Blockstream app, Jade Core streamlines the migration process:
- Simple Setup: Power the device with a standard USB-C cable and pair instantly with the Blockstream app on desktop, or iOS and Android over Bluetooth.
- Clear Confirmation: An enhanced vibrant display allows you to easily verify every send and receive address before you confirm the transaction.
- Stay Offline: Your hardware wallet stays offline during the entire transaction process. The signing process happens only on Jade Core, never on another device.
In minutes, your bitcoin is stored securely offline where you hold the keys, not some third-party exchange that could go belly up in a moment’s notice.
Transparent, Open-Source Security
Like Bitcoin itself, Jade Core doesn’t make you choose between simplicity and security. You can have them both. Your bitcoin is protected by the same security model that’s made Blockstream Jade one of the most trusted Bitcoin hardware wallets:
- Blind Oracle PIN Protection: Harnessing advanced end-to-end encryption, an innovative PIN security system splits the secrets needed to access your wallet between your unique PIN, the Jade Plus device, and a remote blind oracle server that never sees or stores your data. Even if your device is physically compromised, your bitcoin remains secure. Don’t trust a remote server? No problem: you can even run your own. At every level, we want you to feel comfortable with your preferred protection.
- Genuine Check: We took Jade Core’s security another step further by allowing you to verify your device’s authenticity during setup. You can know with certainty that your Jade Core came directly from Blockstream, not a phony third-party clone.
Real money needs real protection. That's why every aspect of Jade Core—from its hardware to its firmware and security model—is completely open source. You can verify every component and rest assured knowing there’s no hidden backdoors or loopholes.
Cold Storage. Clear Mind.
At the core of self-custody is peace of mind. If you’ve been around the Bitcoin space for some time, you know just how fickle third-party custody can be. Exchanges can freeze withdrawals, lose funds, or disappear entirely. With Jade Core, your bitcoin belongs to you and you alone.
When you first set up the device, you’ll be shown a 12-word recovery phrase. This is your master backup. Store it safely offline, and you will always have control of your funds, even if your Jade Core is lost, stolen, or damaged.
Wide Compatibility
Jade Core pairs seamlessly with the Blockstream app, or you can connect your favorite companion app to offer a tailored, intuitive Bitcoin management experience. Either way, the simplicity of Jade Core ensures you’re equipped with all you need for everyday use, giving you instant, wireless access to your wallet wherever you are.

Jade Core is built on a legacy of uncompromising security and deep expertise from Blockstream engineers who help maintain the Bitcoin ecosystem at its foundation.
