[Jade Plus](https://store.blockstream.com/products/jade-plus) QR Scan allows users to communicate with a companion app solely using QR codes. Each compatible platform has several **benefits** and **tradeoffs**, and users may find certain platforms more favorable to use for different circumstances.

> **Note:** QR mode supports Bitcoin transactions only. Liquid is not supported via QR. To send or receive Liquid assets, connect Jade to the Blockstream app using USB or Bluetooth.
