Holders of cryptocurrency must not carry a smartphone is a hardware portfolio for their Bitcoins more. Instead, they can use FINNEY ™, the world's first blockchain smartphone. FINNEY ™ comes from an idea of SIRIN LABS. It works on a proprietary version of Google approved by Google. In addition, it features a built-in cold storage portfolio with high-level security.
FINNEY ™'s journey – from the idea to the finished product
FINNEY's history begins last year. In 2017, SIRIN LABS raised $ 157 million in the fourth largest ICO at the time. After the successful completion of the crowdsale event, the company launched the pre-order period. Thus, ICO participants had the chance to be ahead of everyone else in owning the world's first blockchain smartphone.
We are taking a huge step forward in bridging the gap between the blockchain economy and the consumer market.
This year, however, things started moving faster. The smartphone has entered the development phase. In addition, SIRIN LABS has hired the soccer star Leo Messi as a brand ambassador and started shooting commercials. Naturally, the advertisements were part of a wider marketing and awareness campaign.
Finally, in November, SIRIN LABS announced the official launch of FINNEY ™, with a retail price of $ 999. The first blockchain smartphone is available for now in the SIRIN LABS online store and can be purchased with the SIRIN Token (SRN). The big news is that the company ships all over the world, including: Australia, EU, Canada and the United Kingdom. Starting this month, the company will begin to open brick and mortar stores – first in London and then in Tokyo. Cities that will also have their stores later, include New York, Berlin, Tel Aviv and Seoul. Starting in January, FINNEY ™ will also be available via the Amazon Launchpad program.
Speaking of FINNEY ™, SIRIN LABS co-founder and co-CEO, Moshe Hogeg, said:
We are now proudly selling a flagship device that offers the user experience we have imagined for our SIRIN operating system. We are taking a huge step forward in bridging the gap between the blockchain economy and the consumer market. Finney is the mobile and truly secure experience that cryptographic owners have always wanted.
A close look at the first Blockchain smartphone in the world
FINNEY ™ does not attempt to compete in design with the established flagships in the smartphone market (even if the design does not disappoint at all). The muscular strength of this innovative phone is inside – literally. The smartphone blockchain works on SIRIN OS – a modification of Android approved by Google. It incorporates a cold storage portfolio and has advanced security features.
Let's take a look at what makes FINNEY ™ special:
Embedded Cold Storage Wallet
The portfolio protects private keys for more cryptocurrencies and generates secure transactions. It features:
- Its separate hardware (not shared with the device),
- Sensitive action protection,
- Safe creation of blockchain and signage signals,
- Connection to native portfolios via internet only for transactions initiated by the user,
- Built-in firewall rules engine.
Advanced security features
FINNEY ™ is protected by an intrusion prevention system that uses machine learning to offer protection for:
- Network attacks,
- Computer threats online and offline on the device,
- Host-based attacks,
- Definitions of unsafe devices.
SIRIN LABS president, Kenes Rakishev, commented on the reasons for endowing FINNEY ™ with such advanced security features:
In the absence of solutions available until now, many scrambled users took a step back in a more primitive time and used paper and pen to record their private key code. This and other "cold storage" solutions are impenetrable to hacks but are also totally impractical for modern life. FINNEY is unique and is the only phone with a built-in cold storage portfolio. There is nothing else on the market.
Features of the device
What makes FINNEY ™ special is also an additional screen for the normal touchscreen. This is a 2-inch multi-touch screen, used only for the cold storage wallet.It has a separate power switch.The other features of the smartphone blockchain include:
- 6 "main touch screen, with an 18: 9 ratio and notch design,
- 128 GB of storage space,
- SD card slot,
- 12 MP main camera and 8 MP selfie camera.
So, crypto-lovers, what do you say – is this smartphone blockchain at the top of your Christmas wish list?
