BlueWallet 2/3 PSBT Multi-sig: BlueWallet + Keystone + ColdCard

Keystone firmware versions V1.1.1 (BTC-Only) or newer support PSBT Muti-signature functions. Detailed instructions below explain how to create a 2-of-3 PSBT Multi-signature wallet with BlueWallet, Keystone and ColdCard as 3 participant co-signers. Bluewallet V6.2.0 (or newer) can and will be used as both a watch-only coordinating wallet and a participant co-signer.

I. Preparation

1. Firmware version V1.1.1 (BTC-Only) or newer running on either a Keystone Essential or Pro.

(Please read How to upgrade firmware for more details.)

2. ColdCard upgraded to firmware version V2.1.0 or newer.

3. Smartphone with the BlueWallet V6.2.0 (or newer) downloaded.

4. Log in to your iCloud Drive on an online PC/Mac.

Note: If you are using an Android based system, you can choose alternative cloud storage applications such as Google Drive. We still recommend saving to the local folder on your device, then copying it over with a data cable. This way, the online drive provider won’t see your file or transaction.

5. MicroSD card (≤512GB; Default FAT32 format).

Tip: Keystone can format microSD cards to FAT32. (Tutorial)
