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 use, plug your Blockstream Jade into a power source using the provided USB cable and charge the device for two hours. Make sure your iOS device is charged as well.
iOS setup
1.
Turn on your Blockstream Jade by holding the green button on the bottom of the device, then select Initialize to begin the setup process. Choose New to create a new wallet.
Tip: For improved security, it is recommended to set up a new wallet instead of restoring your recovery phrase from Blockstream Green.
2.
Record the recovery phrase offline on paper (or by using a dedicated recovery phrase backup device for extra security).
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.
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.
4.
Blockstream Jade will ask you how to connect to Blockstream Green. Select Bluetooth® to pair with your iOS device.
5.
Open Blockstream Green and select Blockstream Jade under devices.
6.
Select your Blockstream Jade on the Blockstream Green companion app. Then, a Bluetooth pairing request will appear on both devices. Verify that the codes are the same and confirm the pairing on your smartphone and your Blockstream Jade.
Note: If you are having trouble connecting via Bluetooth, please visit our guide here.
7.
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.
8.
Set your six-digit PIN. This is used to unlock Blockstream Jade each time you login to your wallet.
9.
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 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.
