Named HTC Exodus, this Android smartphone will come with a universal wallet, secure, hardware support for decentralized and secure apps, etc.

The project’s website calls it “the world’s first phone dedicated to decentralized applications and security. With the release of the HTC Exodus we can now make this a reality.” The phone is also expected to allow the trading of native crypto coins without any mining fee.

The website also lists eight major features of HTC Exodus:

  • Trusted hardware

  • Save your ID and data on phone
  • DApps on mobile
  • Phone’ll act as a node of Ethereum and Bitcoin

HTC Vive founder Phil Chen will be spearheading the blockchain initiative. His new title will be “decentralized chief officer.”
