Verified on: July 17, 2026

COLDCARD signs Partially Signed Bitcoin Transactions (PSBTs) created by compatible coordinator software. Choose a transport supported by both your COLDCARD model and the coordinator, then verify destination, amount, fee, and change on the COLDCARD screen before approving.
