The Jade Plus does exactly what it claims: fully auditable, non-custodial Bitcoin cold storage from one of the most credible vendors in the industry, at a fair $149 to $169, with an air-gap option and the best third-party app compatibility a Bitcoin device can offer. The blind-oracle model is a legitimate, well-designed answer to the closed-chip problem, not a corner cut. What keeps it out of the 8s is the flip side of its own choices: no certified secure element for buyers who want one, a real (if cleanly handled) firmware vulnerability disclosed in late 2025, and a single-ecosystem scope that limits who can use it at all. For its intended owner, a Bitcoiner who wants to verify instead of trust, it is an easy device to recommend.
