The secure hardware within the smartphone, Christened as Exodus, will assist underlying protocols expand their network of dedicated nodes, thereby expanding the total blockchain ecosystem. This information was revealed by Phil Chen, who is serving as HTC\u2019s Decentralized Chief Officer.<\/p>\n<p>Chen wants to see a world where the users have a full control of their data (identity, assets, browsing history, emails, wallets, messaging, etc.) without a need for any centralized institutions. He also acknowledges that there is a lot of work to be done, but believes the mobile hardware layer within the HTC\u2019s smartphone will contribute significantly to achieve the objective.<\/p>\n<p>The list of protocols that will be supported by HTC Exodus includes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/cryptocurrency\/bitcoin\">Bitcoin, Dfinity, Lightning Networks,<\/a> and Ethereum. Chen <a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/@phil_chen\/announcing-the-htc-exodus-the-worlds-first-native-blockchain-phone-4f53bc60d55e\">also revealed that the team will enter<\/a> into several new partnerships in the months ahead since the engineering team is working to support the entire blockchain ecosystem. <strong>Chen<\/strong> said<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cTogether, we want to craft the best blockchain &amp; decentralized application experiences to end consumers.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><center><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-cards=\"hidden\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Meet <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/htcexodus?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@HTCExodus<\/a> &#8211; The World&#39;s First Native Blockchain Phone.

So far, HTC has not revealed the price of the phone. Furthermore, it is yet to be clarified whether HTC will offer the blockchain smartphone for payment in cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n<p>HTC, which launched the world\u2019s first Android smartphone, has shipped more than 100 million smartphone devices since 2008. Chen believes the smartphone will set the tone for the launch of many more decentralized systems in the main market.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HTC Corporation, the Taiwanese consumer electronics company, has announced that it is working on a blockchain technology based smartphone that will provide a rich experience while running decentralized applications (DApps).
