While the teaser does not exactly states this date, it does show 10.23, which is very indicative, since this date will be next Monday.

The company has affirmed on its post that the company is

“proud to e announcing the official IG launch of Exodus”

and that the vision of the company is to expand the blockchain ecosystem by creating the first phone in the world that is dedicated to this technology.

The Chief Decentralizing Officer of HTC, Phil Chen, has affirmed in the first semester of 2018 that the new model would support many protocols like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Lightning Network, Dfinity and others.

During another interview, Chen has also pointed out that Exodus would cost about $1,000 USD, the same price as Finney, Sirin Lab’s blockchain phone. Is the phone going to be popular with this price tag? That is what we’ll see.
