The phones will feature trusted UIs and universal wallets, and each phone will also serve as a node for Ethereum and Bitcoin.
"Our vision is to expand the blockchain ecosystem by creating the world's first phone dedicated to decentralized applications and security," the company said in its announcement of the phone. "We believe we can help reshape the Internet with the HTC Exodus. Join us and together we will make decentralization a reality."
Potential customers can sign up to "reserve" an Exodus here. No release date has been set.
