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

Trezor Safe 3

What works

EAL6+ certified secure element and fully open source firmware at $59
PIN and passphrase are typed on the device, never on a possibly compromised computer
Multi-share (Shamir) backup and FIDO2 two factor support are built in
A Bitcoin-only edition is sold alongside the multi coin version

What to watch

Two buttons and a 0.96 inch monochrome screen make checking a long address slower than on a touchscreen
iOS is view only: no setup, sending or device management from an iPhone
SecurityWeek reported in August 2026 that a breach at fulfilment partner ShipMonk exposed about 14,000 customers' shipping details
Trezor publishes no list of countries it ships to, only a checkout drop-down
