#3 on the leaderboard Hardware Self-custody

Blockstream Jade Plus

Blockstream

A fully open-source, Bitcoin-only hardware wallet from the company that builds Bitcoin Core-adjacent infrastructure.

The verdict

The most philosophically coherent Bitcoin-only hardware wallet. If you only care about Bitcoin and want to read the source, this is it.

/ Pros
  • +Fully open source, including the secure element logic (or lack thereof)
  • +Air-gapped operation via QR codes or microSD
  • +Stateless mode: no seed at all — derive keys from a PIN
  • +From Blockstream — the team behind Liquid and significant Bitcoin Core contributions
/ Cons
  • Bitcoin-only. No altcoins, no NFTs, no DeFi.
  • No traditional secure element. Trades a physical chip for software hardening + air-gap.
  • Smaller retail footprint than Ledger or Trezor
  • Companion app (Blockstream Green) is the easiest onramp; advanced features require Sparrow or similar
/ Best for & not for
Best for

Bitcoin-only holders who want a fully auditable, air-gap-friendly hardware wallet.

Not for

Altcoin collectors, DeFi users, anyone wanting a "one wallet for everything" experience.
