Pros and cons, side by side
Blockstream Jade
What works
- Bitcoin only, with both firmware and hardware published as open source
- Three tiers from $79 to $149 sharing one firmware and one security model
- Genuine Check attestation lets you verify the device was actually made by Blockstream
- Jade Plus signs fully air-gapped over QR codes and reads an SD card
- Blockstream fixed the DARKNAVY report in three weeks and published a full public disclosure
What to watch
- No certified secure element, which is a deliberate tradeoff but still a difference from Ledger, Trezor and BitBox
- Firmware 1.0.24 through 1.0.36 carried a stack overflow that a compromised host could use to crash the device, and 1.0.35 and earlier could allow limited code execution
- Jade Core has no camera, so air-gapped QR signing needs the Plus
- Free international shipping is advertised with no country list behind it, and you may owe import fees
Keystone 3 Pro
What works
- Three secure element chips, against one on Ledger's and Trezor's flagship devices
- A 4 inch touchscreen that shows full transaction detail, including decoded contract data
- Fully air-gapped: signing happens over QR codes or microSD, never USB or Bluetooth
- Fingerprint unlock and anti-tamper protection that wipes data if the case is opened
- Dice-roll entropy, Shamir backup and BIP-129 multisig, a standard Keystone co-authored
What to watch
- Not bitcoin-only, so multi-chain parsing code runs on the device
- Keystone's shipping page claims worldwide delivery and then publishes a 56 country list
- Air-gapped signing means scanning QR codes for every transaction, which is slower than plugging in a cable
- A newer brand with a shorter public track record than Ledger or Trezor
