Best for: Open-source hardware on a budget
Open-source, budget-friendly hardware signer from Blockstream — camera-based air-gap option and Liquid support.
Blockstream Jade is an open-source, budget-friendly hardware signer with a camera for air-gapped QR signing and support for Liquid alongside Bitcoin. It brings real hardware security in at a low price point.
It is a fit for people who want open-source cold storage without spending much, or who use Liquid. The lower cost doesn’t mean weak security, but the hardware is simpler than premium devices; for straightforward self-custody on a budget it punches above its price.
