How to find your account identifier (XPUB) in Blockstream Wallet (Desktop)

Follow these steps to copy your account’s extended public key from the Blockstream desktop wallet using a connected Jade.

Before you start

  • Connect your Jade to your computer and open the Blockstream desktop wallet.
  • Unlock Jade (enter PIN and authenticate) so a session is active.

Find your XPUB/ZPUB

  1. In the Blockstream wallet, click the three dots (additional settings) next to the device name to bring up your wallet settings.

    Open the device menu from the top bar (three dots)

  2. Choose Settings.

    Open device Settings

  3. In Settings, click Watch-only.

  4. Under Extended public keys, you’ll see a list of account descriptors. Select the first entry — labeled Standard and may begin with zpub (or another prefix depending on your script type).

    Select Watch-only in Settings

  5. Click to copy the key (ZPUB/XPUB) to your clipboard.
Info: A ZPUB is simply an XPUB encoded to indicate the native SegWit (P2WPKH) script type. Hoseki’s manual flow accepts ZPUBs as well as other script-encoded extended keys. If yours looks different, don’t be alarmed — it just means your wallet is using a different script type.
Privacy tip: Extended public keys can reveal current and future receive addresses for that account. Share them only where necessary and keep them private otherwise.

Use it in Hoseki

  1. In Hoseki’s Manual/Advanced flow, paste the copied ZPUB/XPUB when prompted for your account identifier.
