From a single seed phrase, BIP85 can be used to derive seed phrases to "child" wallets. You can use these child wallets in different contexts (ex. mobile hot wallet, starter wallet for spouse/mom/dad/whoever).

If the seed phrases to a derived child wallet were compromised, the original seed phrase would still be secure. Instead of needing to maintain and backup multiple seeds for different wallets, you can back up one seed phrase that gives you access to multiple derived wallets

Learn how to use BIP85 on your own device ⬇️

https://help.blockstream.com/hc/en-us/articles/15844055048857-How-do-I-generate-a-child-recovery-phrase-using-BIP85-

Jade supports the creation of child BIP39 recovery phrases using the BIP85 specification.

A child recovery phrase is created from an index number and the wallet stored on #BlockstreamJade, allowing you to derive wallets from a parent or "master" wallet.

Before you send any significant amount of sats to your new #BlockstreamJade make sure you get comfortable with the device & procedures. The most important procedure with any #Bitcoin hardware wallet is doing a wallet recovery with your seed phrase back up.

1️⃣ Send a small amount of sats to an address generated with Jade

2️⃣ Once funds are confirmed perform a factory reset on your Jade device

3️⃣ Initialize Jade and recover your existing wallet with your seed phrase back up
