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

OneKey

What works

  • Four signing models from $79 to $278, including a bitcoin-only Classic 1S Pure
  • Companion app on iOS, Android, Windows, macOS, Linux and as a browser extension
  • Firmware and apps are developed in public on GitHub
  • Faulty devices are replaced rather than repaired, so no repair shop handles your hardware

What to watch

  • Not bitcoin-only outside the Classic 1S Pure bitcoin edition
  • Specifications vary widely across the range, so the brand name alone tells you little about the device you are buying
  • Researchers opened a OneKey Mini in 2023 with physical access and lab hardware, which OneKey patched but which is part of the brand's record
  • No published shipping country policy: the help center article that should carry one returns a 404
  • A shorter public track record than Ledger, Trezor or Coinkite
