The following guide covers using Jade with Sparrow in a **fully air-gapped** manner, however a [connection via USB](https://helpcenter.dxp-frontend.devserver.app/blockstream-jade/use-jade-with-third-party-apps/use-jade-with-sparrow) is also supported. > **Note:** QR mode supports Bitcoin transactions only. Liquid is not supported via QR. - [Setup Wallet](#h%5F01GGG2CWPHS2WEPW60HWKEHV0N) - [Receive](https://help.blockstream.com/hc/en-us/articles/11243167612697) - [Send](#h%5F01GGG2DAMDQ3QRGYRET2KRTQPW) ## Pre-requisites 1. Prepare Jade for [QR Mode](https://helpcenter.dxp-frontend.devserver.app/blockstream-jade/use-jade-air-gapped/seedqr-vs-qr-pin-unlock). 2. [Download Sparrow](https://sparrowwallet.com/). ## Setup 1. Unlock Blockstream Jade, ideally by [**accessing QR mode**](https://helpcenter.dxp-frontend.devserver.app/blockstream-jade/use-jade-air-gapped/access-jade-plus-air-gapped-with-seedqr). ![connect.png](https://dxp-backend.devserver.app/uploads/help-center/content/blockstream-jade/use-jade-with-third-party-apps/use-jade-qr-scan-with-sparrow/55341715244569.png) ![menuqrmode.png](https://dxp-backend.devserver.app/uploads/help-center/content/blockstream-jade/use-jade-with-third-party-apps/use-jade-qr-scan-with-sparrow/55341715244825.png) 2. Navigate to **Options**, **Wallet** and select **Xpub Export**. Jade will then display your xpub as an animated QR code. > **Note:** The default xpub shown is for singlesig, Native SegWit wallets. If you would like, you may change the path to Nested SegWit (m/49'/0'/0') by selecting **Options**. ![3.png](https://dxp-backend.devserver.app/uploads/help-center/content/blockstream-jade/use-jade-with-third-party-apps/use-jade-qr-scan-with-sparrow/55341673315609.png) ![4.png](https://dxp-backend.devserver.app/uploads/help-center/content/blockstream-jade/use-jade-with-third-party-apps/use-jade-qr-scan-with-sparrow/55341715245209.png) 3. Open Sparrow and create a new wallet.

Locate Jade in the list of devices and click **Scan**. Sparrow will then turn on your webcam which you can use to scan the xpub QR displayed on Jade. If you **do not see** Jade in this list, you may have an older version of Sparrow. Simply choose **xPub/Watch-Only Wallet** instead, then select the **QR** icon to open the webcam scanner. > **Tip:** If Sparrow is not reading your xpub QR, try enabling the **Use HD Capture** option in the scanning window that appears. If you are still having trouble, you may need a higher quality webcam. There are is also software available that allows you to use your mobile phone's camera with your desktop - which may help as well. ![2.png](https://dxp-backend.devserver.app/uploads/help-center/content/blockstream-jade/use-jade-with-third-party-apps/use-jade-qr-scan-with-sparrow/11960810861977.png) 5.

Choose the **Send** option in the left menu bar, then enter your recipient's [**address**](https://glossary.blockstream.com/address-bitcoin/) and the **intended** amount. Select **Create Transaction** to continue. ![4.png](https://dxp-backend.devserver.app/uploads/help-center/content/blockstream-jade/use-jade-with-third-party-apps/use-jade-qr-scan-with-sparrow/11961275258905.png) 2. Next select **Show QR** to view the PSBT in this format. Navigate to the **QR Scan** function on your Jade and point the camera at the QR codes. Jade will need to capture every frame that is displayed to continue. > **Tip:** The progress bar will fill up as you successfully scan new frames. If the progress bar is not updating, change Jade's angle or distance from the QR until you find the [optimal placement](https://helpcenter.dxp-frontend.devserver.app/blockstream-jade/troubleshooting/fix-issues-scanning-qr-codes) for scanning. ![5.png](https://dxp-backend.devserver.app/uploads/help-center/content/blockstream-jade/use-jade-with-third-party-apps/use-jade-qr-scan-with-sparrow/11961293249561.png) 3. Once Jade has successfully read the PSBT, it will display the transaction details on your device for you to **review** and **confirm**. ![txconf.png](https://dxp-backend.devserver.app/uploads/help-center/content/blockstream-jade/use-jade-with-third-party-apps/use-jade-qr-scan-with-sparrow/55341673316121.png) ![fee.png](https://dxp-backend.devserver.app/uploads/help-center/content/blockstream-jade/use-jade-with-third-party-apps/use-jade-qr-scan-with-sparrow/55341715245849.png) 4. Jade will then **display** your signed transaction as a series of QR codes. Click **Scan QR** and scan Jade's screen with Sparrow until all frames have been captured. > **Tip:** For a better scan experience, enable **Use HD Capture** on Sparrow. You may also adjust the [QR settings](https://helpcenter.dxp-frontend.devserver.app/blockstream-jade/troubleshooting/fix-issues-scanning-qr-codes) on Jade which may be helpful for low quality cameras. ![6.png](https://dxp-backend.devserver.app/uploads/help-center/content/blockstream-jade/use-jade-with-third-party-apps/use-jade-qr-scan-with-sparrow/11961335283097.png) 5.
