Free to enter, no purchase needed.

The descriptor file is what stops most people from trying multisig.
It lists every signer's public key and the wallet's rules. Lose it and two of three recovery phrases won't let you spend. @Blockstream Jade stores it on device, making more advanced self-custody easier and safer.

@BlockstreamApp (formerly green wallet) has multisig 2fa feature. if you were using a HWW which turned out to have a hardware bug, using @blockstream wallet (and turn on 2fa eg google auth), you would have a last line of defense: the seed alone does not allow theft of funds.
Multisig in 30 seconds.

I got my new @BlockstreamJade + up and running. Dice rolls and all.
You can teach an ol dog new tricks.
Create security in depth for your bitcoin. @kinetic_finance explains how Jade makes it simple to add advanced protection to your setup with multisig or passphrases.

You can now pick up a Jade at a UPS Access Point in the US and Canada instead of having it shipped to your house.
At checkout, choose pickup and select a nearby UPS Store, CVS, or similar.

The Bitcoin class at @Columbia University just wrapped.
We supplied every student with a Blockstream Jade hardware wallet and supplies so they could go hands-on instead of just reading slides.
The class has now ended, and the feedback from the teacher was exactly what we hoped for.
That's the whole mission. Real hardware, real seed phrases, in the hands of the people who'll be building on this in ten years.
Supplying a classroom takes support. If you want to help us do the next one, donate at bitcoinedfoundation.org/dona…
Huge thanks to everyone who made it happen 👇

Finally, thank you to our annual partners @fedibtc and @BlockstreamJade for making our mission a reality. All attendees were given free sats in their Fedi wallets, and everyone received a Jade hardware wallet as part of their ticket purchase. Thank you @lobaestrangeira for attending our event this year and supporting our Fedi Workshop. We look forward to welcoming @Drewfischer and the Jade team back in 2027!
Our CPO Jeff Boortz joined @JD_Durkin on @FINTECHTVglobal to talk through last month's hardware wallet incident.
If a Coldcard created your seed, assume you are at risk. Move to a fresh phrase on hardware you trust. Do not restore the old one.
Jade was not affected. There is no silent RNG fallback. Every recovery phrase is mixed from multiple independent entropy sources.
On 15 August 1971 the dollar left gold, and a savings account stopped holding its value. @kinetic_finance walks through what changed that night and why it still matters.
Bitcoin in self-custody with @BlockstreamJade is money nobody can dilute or freeze.

Jade firmware 1.0.41 is out. It contains security updates and every user should upgrade as soon as they safely can.
Jade is not affected by the Coldcard random number vulnerability. The reasoning, and everything we changed, is in the post.
