A watch-only wallet allows you to generate receive addresses and view your balance without needing to connect your Blockstream Jade to the Blockstream app. When you're ready to send funds, you will need to connect your Jade and unlock it with your PIN to sign transactions.
Tip: If you're using a hardware wallet with a different app, please consult that wallet's specific instructions for watch-only usage.
Watch-Only Access
1. Open the Blockstream app and log in to your Jade wallet.
2. Tap the gear icon in the top-right corner and select Settings.
3. Select Watch-only and choose the account you'd like to access without connecting Jade. Depending on your account type, either copy the extended public key (xpub) or create credentials.
- Singlesig: Copy the extended public key (xpub)
- Multisig (2FA): Create a username and password
4. From the app's home screen, tap Set up a New Wallet, then choose Add Wallet → Watch-only.
5. Select your account type and paste in the extended public key or enter the credentials if using a Multisig Shield/2FA account.
6. Once imported, your watch-only wallet will appear in the wallet list. Tap it to view balances and generate receive addresses without needing to connect your Jade.
