World's First Blockchain Smartphone Coming Soon!
Sirin Labs, the developer of the Solarin secure mobile phone, is launching a crowdsale for the world's first blockchain enabled smartphone! They plan to release a whole line of "FINNEY" devices, running on their open source "Shield OS", including a PC. Their focus is on secure devices with an excellent user experience. https://www.sirinlabs.com/
Their devices will form an independent blockchain network free from centralized backbones and mining centers, capable of fast, free, and secure transactions. The Shield OS is designed to support blockchain applications such as wallets, secure exchange access, encrypted communications, and a resource-sharing environment supported by their token (SRN).
The FINNEY smartphone will retail at a target price of $999 and will come with a host of features, such as:
- Three Factor Authentication
- Behavioral Based Intrusion Prevention System
- Built-in cold storage crypto wallet
- Distributed Ledger Consensus
- 256 gb of internal storage
- 8 gb of RAM
- Bluetooth 5.0
- Wi-Fi 802.11ac
- A 5.2 inch QHD Display
...and much, much more!
Their entire crowdsale will only last 14 days, with a 10% bonus being offered in the first 24 hours. No date as of yet, but I will try to post an update when they launch. The PC is a reward for the $75 million stretch goal and will retail at a target price of $799. The OEM copies of Shield OS will be available at the $100 million stretch goal.
Sirin has partnered with four organizations:
- IOTA (Special layer for the Internet of Things)
- Status (A mobile Ethereum OS)
- Alignment (A hub for blockchain development)
- Bancor (A special protocol for Smart Tokens)

Wow, this is a super ambitious project. Designing and manufacturing a smart phone is no easy task - even Apple has their production issues. I hope they can pull it off, thanks for posting!
