Check service and country availability.; Blockstream Jade Plus:Recovery phrase

Before you choose

Consider

Foundation Passport PrimeInitial setup uses Envoy and Bluetooth. To restore existing words without Magic Backups, ask Foundation support to confirm the steps for your KeyOS version before setup. Ethereum and Solana need the separate Legacy Mode beta on a computer.

Block BitkeyTwo of three keys are needed. Recovery involves your phone, cloud storage and the service, rather than a conventional recovery phrase.

Blockstream Jade PlusThe standard firmware supports Bitcoin and Liquid. Bitcoin-only firmware is a separate option.

Connectivity

Foundation Passport Prime

Computer

SparrowNot confirmed

Connection requirements

Foundation lists Sparrow for multisig wallets with Prime as a cosigner. We have not confirmed the exact Prime–Sparrow import and transaction-transfer route. Check that integration with Foundation before proceeding; Passport Core or generic QR support is insufficient.

Connection requirements

For Bitcoin on a phone, Envoy connects to Prime through QuantumLink Bluetooth.
