Blockstream Launches Jade Wireless Hardware Wallet

“Keeping your wallet keys on a device connected to the Internet leaves them vulnerable to viruses. Separate hardware wallets are the best solution for storing keys. And we are launching Blockstream Jade – our vision of what a bitcoin hardware wallet should be, ”the press release says.

Blockstream Jade features a 240×135 pixel color display, making it easier to verify transactions as well as share QR codes. The device is also equipped with a camera that will allow you to confirm incoming and outgoing transactions via QR codes. However, at the moment the camera is not used – the function will appear later along with the firmware update.

Using hardware wallets does not always help protect against hackers. For example, Hugh Karp, the founder of the DeFi Nexus Mutual platform, stole 370,000 NXM tokens worth $ 8.2 million, despite using the Ledger wallet.
