What makes the phone stand-out, however, is the suite of blockchain and cryptocurrency features built into the phone.<\/p>\n<p>For starters, each Exodus 1 is a node on HTC\u2019s own blockchain network. Along with other integrations, the phone aims to allow users to securely store and trade cryptocurrency. The phone is also geared to support BTC, <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/litecoin\/\">LTC<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/ethereum\/\">ETH<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/erc721.org\/\">ERC-721<\/a> Ethereum crypto-collectibles through its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.htcexodus.com\/eu\/zion\/\">Zion wallet integration<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1JA5XwPRky8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Phil Chen, HTC\u2019s \u2018chief decentralization officer,\u2019 and the phone\u2019s designer, mentioned that the current iteration of the phone is the \u201chigh-end\u201d version meant for beta testing the concept. If successful, the company plans to release a \u201clow-end\u201d version available to the general public.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=V3WBPz6thD8&feature=youtu.be\">According to Chen<\/a>, one of the purposes of the phone is to eventually \u201ctarget the 1-2 billion unbanked people in the world [and provide them access to financial services].\u201d Moreover, \u201ceven the United Nations is interested in that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That said, the phone is a \u201cbeta\u201d product. Considering the track record of many other blockchain-related products, the first version of the phone may also feature a less-than-ideal user experience.<\/p>\n<p>Based on HTC\u2019s website, the phone retails for approximately <a href=\"https:\/\/store.htcexodus.com\/exodus_b\/eu\/checkout\/cart\/\">$1000<\/a> in BTC, ETH, or LTC and will be released sometime this month.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Impact on Brave<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As of July, Brave <a href=\"https:\/\/basicattentiontoken.org\/brave-passes-3-million-monthly-active-users\/\">had over 3.1 million<\/a> active users, with that number steadily growing. Depending on the number of Exodus line phones that are sold in retail, the integration could substantially increase the number of customers who come use the Brave browser. Or, it could fall flat. According to one Taiwanese publication, HTC\u2019s sales in February dipped to a <a href=\"http:\/\/focustaiwan.tw\/news\/aeco\/201803070004.aspx\">13-year low<\/a>, while underperforming against growing Chinese phone brands.<\/p>\n<p>Consequently, more users on Brave mean more users who can use Basic Attention Token. That said, considering the early-state of the new phone, it\u2019s hard to tell whether the integration will have a noticeable impact on BAT adoption in 2019.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brave browser was announced as the default browser for HTC\u2019s new Exodus \u201cblockchain-powered\u201d phone, opening Basic Attention Token (BAT) to a new cohort of potential users.
