The excitement of late in blockchain has centered around a particular blockchain phone. A first of its kind, this phone has crypto nerds alike beaming with joy; the idea of decentralized apps running on your phone is exciting, and that’s before we consider all the crypto possibilities.
Blockchain Phone
It started with Sirin Labs, whose pioneering phone ‘Finney,’ let people store and use digital currencies without transaction fees. Then HTC came to the party with the world’s second blockchain phone called Exodus 1. This phone boasts a “Social Key Recovery” function that lets a user use a select number of trusted contacts to regain access to their funds, should they lose their private key. Kinda cool.
But now… Samsung is about to join the battle. Yes, one of the world’s biggest phone makers is reportedly on the verge of creating its own blockchain smartphone.
But how do we know this? Well, we don’t know it for definite, but there’s somETHing cooking in the kitchen.
European Trademarks
Earlier in the week, Samsung submitted three European trademark requests for blockchain-based smartphone features. They are named as the following:
Blockchain KeyStore
Blockchain Key Box
Blockchain Core
So while it’s not necessarily definite, its pretty obvious.
