Blockstream Jade
The first hardware wallet specifically made for Liquid. Completely open-source, ideal for storing your bitcoins and Liquid assets. Its main feature is that it is completely open-source, even the firmware can be installed on your own self-built hardware.
Being produced by the Blockstream company, for those unfamiliar with it, it’s the company founded by Adam Back, an important cryptographer and cypherpunk, inventor of hashcash. Jade integrates seamlessly with the various Blockstream products, such as the Liquid sidechain and the Green wallet.
Constructively it is a small plastic block, with a color IPS screen to show QR codes and a small camera. The interaction with the hardware wallet takes place via a mechanical wheel to scroll through the menu and a mechanical key. Connection is via USB-C port and Bluetooth LE.
