Product description
The Blockstream Jade is an easy-to-use, purely open-source hardware wallet that provides advanced security for your Bitcoin and Liquid Bitcoin (L-BTC) assets.
The Blockstream Jade is a relatively new product among hardware wallets. The wallet is issued by Blockstream. This is a leading bitcoin company led by renowned cryptographer Adam Back.
Which coins can be stored on the Blockstream Jade?
Bitcoin and Liquid assets.
Blockstream Jade is the only hardware wallet that currently supports Liquid assets. Liquid assets, in turn, are tokens issued on the Liquid Network. Liquid assets include Liquid Bitcoin (L-BTC) and Issued Assets.
The Liquid sidechain is linked to the Bitcoin blockchain, but has a different consensus mechanism and trust model. Among other things, it offers more privacy, lower transaction costs and new functionality such as token issuance. Those Liquid tokens can be managed with Green wallet and Jade.
Many Liquid tokens, by the way, are not there yet. At the time of writing, these are: Bitcoin Mining Note (BMN), Infinite Fleet (EXO) and SideSwap (SSWP). There are also implementations of stable coins on Liquid.
