Have you ever heard of a blockchain-powered phone? Apparently, HTC is working on one under the name HTC Exodus. Keep reading for more details!

HTC Exodus – The new era of Blockchain Smartphone

As if we thought that the cryptocurrency era was over, HTC decided to jump on the bandwagon. Recently, the news brought out that the company is working on a blockchain powered device. According to our source, the HTC Exodus would feature a universal wallet and a built-in secure hardware enclave to support cryptocurrencies and decentralised applications. There are no official photos have been made public yet, just the product drawings you can see below.

Besides, HTC plans to create a native blockchain network with all Exodus units acting as connections to promote cryptocurrency trading among their owners. Additionally, the company is considering accepting cryptocurrency payments for the phone itself, even though its price remains unknown. This HTC Exodus’s selling point is it offers better security and user experience by integrating cold wallet storage right into the phone.

Then it enables direct trading of the local cryptocurrency with peers on the phone’s network, without mining fees. On the other hand, however, all of these features can be integrated into any average handsets with the help of software alone. Plus, trading Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies will acquire mining fees to transfer anyway; whether it’s on regular phones or blockchain phones. Private web browsers and messaging apps can also install on any devices as well.

The bottom line

As we mentioned before, there are no details and information regarding the HTC Exodus specs and price yet. In conclusion, we still have to wait for one of these blockchain phones to be available in the market to see if they actually work; as well as make the experience of browsing through the decentralised web any better than the regular phones.
