Trezor vs Blockstream Jade: a tie on open data

Trezor and Blockstream Jade both score 8.9/10 on CoinPulse's hardware wallet ranking, on data collected October 19, 2026. They are listed #2 and #3 of 15, but that is display order: the marks are identical on all four criteria, and both have 100% of the score measured. The useful differences between them — how long each has been on the market, which assets each supports, and how each device secures keys — are either below the scoring threshold or not measured at all.

A tie on what we measured. Both score 8.9/10. The difference between them is not something our data can see, so we are not going to invent one.

Why the scores tie

  • Track record. Both clear the full-mark band. Trezor has eight more years on the market (13.3 vs 5.3), but the method does not separate makers once both are past the threshold.
  • Status transparency. Both publish a status page people can read, but neither offers a feed in the formats the probe parses, so both score 5. The method flags that this may partly be its own blind spot.
  • Latency. Both earn 10, but on different surfaces: Trezor's website (114 ms) and a Blockstream public API endpoint (77 ms), each scored on its own bands. The raw numbers are not a like-for-like speed test.
  • Security record. Neither has an incident in DefiLlama's database of 1,307 hacks.

What the tie hides

  • Time on the market. If longevity matters to you beyond the threshold, Trezor has the longer record — 13.3 years, the longest of any maker in the ranking. Jade's 5.3 years is counted from the device's 2021 launch, not from the founding of its maker.
  • Asset scope. Blockstream Jade is built for Bitcoin and the Liquid sidechain (Blockstream). Trezor devices support a wider range of assets. Supported assets are not scored, so check each maker's list against what you hold.
  • Device design. How each device generates and protects keys, whether firmware is open source, and how backups and passphrases work are not measured. For a cold wallet these questions usually matter most.

What is not measured

Price, specific models (Trezor Safe 3, 5 or 7; Jade or Jade Plus), app experience, support and shipping regions are outside the score. Company background: Trezor profile. There is no Blockstream company profile on the site yet.

Which fits which reader

  • You want the longest track record: Trezor (13.3 years).
  • You hold only Bitcoin (and possibly Liquid assets): both are candidates; Jade is purpose-built for that scope.
  • You hold many asset types: check Trezor's supported list; Jade's scope is narrower.
  • You need a maker whose outage history you can audit: neither publishes a machine-readable archive; Ledger is the only one in this category that does (Ledger vs Trezor).

Where each one falls short

Which to choose

Blockstream Jade vs Trezor: which scores higher?+

Neither. Both score 8.9/10 on October 19, 2026 data, with identical marks on all four criteria.

Why is Trezor listed #2 and Jade #3 if they tie?+

The ranking lists tied services in sequence; the order does not reflect a difference in score.

Is Trezor safe?+

Trezor has no hack recorded in DefiLlama's database, a 13.3-year track record and a readable status page. That is evidence, not a guarantee, and device security design is not measured. Compare more: all 15 hardware wallets · Ledger vs Blockstream Jade · Blockstream Jade vs OneKey
