The ‘Exodus’ Blockchain Phone By HTC Is Officially Rolling Out This December

The long-awaited and revolutionary smartphone that for the first time adopts blockchain technology is in the latest crypto news. The manufacturer of the ‘Exodus’ blockchain phone, HTC, officially said that the phone will start shipping in December this year.

Customers can now pre-order the HTC Exodus in an early-access version, as the company noted. The phone must be purchased with cryptocurrency and can only be bought using Bitcoin or Ethereum.

Meanwhile, HTC also said that it is looking for developers to participate in the early-access version. The Exodus is available to customers in the US, Hong Kong, Singapore, New Zealand, the UK, and about 30 other countries, as the press release noted.

According to the decentralized chief officer of HTC, Phil Chen, the company is hoping to get feedback from the blockchain community about the early-access version in order to improve the device.

In an email, Chen stated:

“Recent figures show that there are around 35 million wallets out there at the moment. The HTC EXODUS 1 is about getting the consumer used to owning their own keys and going from there to develop the EXODUS into a device that can be for the broader market.”

Currently, there is no information about whether the device will see a wider launch for the general public. As announced at many events before, the phone is known to include “a secret enclave” that will store a user’s cryptocurrency keys and protect them from the Android operating system.
