Htc's Novel Hollo Upward Volition Survive Powered Yesteryear Blockchain...

HTC announced their upcoming proper name upward titled 'Exodus' is existence built past times in addition to for users of cryptocurrency in addition to blockchain tech.   But what does that mean?

Well, the phone's hardware is optimized to back upward decentralized apps (dApps), in addition to there's a built inwards 'universal wallet' to back upward storing your cryptocurrencies. Head of the projection at HTC Phil Chen tells TheNextWeb;

“Through Exodus, nosotros are excited to locomote supporting underlying protocols such as Bitcoin, Lightning Networks, Ethereum, Dfinity, in addition to more. We would similar to back upward the entire blockchain ecosystem, in addition to inwards the side past times side few months we’ll locomote announcing many to a greater extent than exciting partnerships together.”

Previously, Chen was heading upward HTC's Virtual Reality headset project.

Here's where things larn a fleck murky inwards my persuasion - many are maxim these phones could come upward to competition Ledger in addition to Trezor for hardware based 'cold storage'.   But it's of import to recall - a proper name upward connected to the internet, running Android OS, should non locomote considered an choice or an as secure storage method to an offline device. In fact, i'll bet that these phones which double as a cryptocurrency wallet volition cash inwards one's chips a prime number target for attacks, in addition to promise HTC is aware of this when developing it.

Until I tin tally i inwards my manus in addition to come across if this 'optimized' blockchain phone's surgical operation tin actually produce anything other phones can't produce amongst the correct software, i'm undecided on if this is worth existence excited for or not.  But i'm definitely curious to uncovering out.
