Security for Life Starts with Blockstream Jade

Jade Plus and Jade Core are equally proficient at protecting your private keys. Both hardware wallets use our open-source blind oracle encryption to keep your private key hidden, which has the unique benefit of protecting your funds from both online and offline attacks, such as physical theft of the device. Since there is no physical secure element, there is nothing of value to steal from a locked Jade device alone.

While Jade Core lacks a camera for air-gapped setups, our firmware provides all of our hardware wallet users, including Jade Core, with novel security features (i.e. duress PIN, BIP39 passphrase, 2FA, and more).

The main difference between our two hardware wallets is their functionality. Jade Core’s lack of more advanced features is made up for in its low price and simplicity, which may appeal to Bitcoin holders who aren’t interested in additional complexity. Jade Plus is feature-rich, with the hardware necessary to provide those additional use cases and security measures that more advanced holders might need.
