Blockstream Jade is a hardware wallet that stores the recovery phrase for your Bitcoin and/or Liquid wallets offline for additional security. To set up your Jade with Blockstream Green on mobile, view our video guide or follow the instructions below.
Pre-requisites
1.
Before usage, plug your Blockstream Jade into a power source using the provided cable and charge the device for two hours.
Tip: Make sure both your Blockstream Jade and your Android device are fully charged to ensure neither goes into standby during setup. For a smoother firmware upgrade, please connect your Jade to the desktop version of Green via USB.
Android Setup
1.
Turn on your Blockstream Jade and select Initialize to begin the setup process. Choose New to create a new wallet.
2.
Record the 24-word recovery phrase offline on paper (or by using a dedicated recovery phrase backup device for extra security).
Warning: Your recovery phrase is the only way to restore your wallet if you lose access to it (for example, you forget your PIN or lose your device). Blockstream never knows your recovery phrase and cannot help you restore your wallet if you lose it.
3.
Proceed through the verification process to confirm that you have recorded each recovery phrase word correctly. Then, store the recovery phrase in a safe location.
4.
On Blockstream Green, tap Blockstream under Devices and plug in your Jade with a cable or connect via Bluetooth.
5.
Select the network and security policy on which you'll use Blockstream Jade, then enter your PIN on Jade when prompted. Please note that each network and security policy will lead to a different wallet.
Note: If you aren't sure whether to select Singlesig or Multisig Shield as your security policy, please review our guide here which explains the differences in more detail.
6.
Set your six-digit PIN. This is used to unlock the Blockstream Jade each time you login to your wallet.
7.
Done! You should now see your wallet open on Blockstream Green. Blockstream Jade will also show that it is Ready! You can now use your wallet to send and receive Bitcoin and Liquid transactions.
After you have finished using your wallet, disconnect your Blockstream Jade from your device. Next time you want to use the wallet on Blockstream Jade, simply reconnect your device and follow the prompts.
