HTC has just announced it has partnered with Bitcoin to offer Exodus owners native support for Bitcoin Cash. HTC’s blockchain smartphone is the first phone to provide Bitcoin Cash support without having to download a wallet from an app store.

Those who already own an Exodus 1 smartphone will receive a software update that will give them access to a Bitcoin.com wallet app pre-loaded on their devices. In a statement, HTC’s chief decentralization officer Phil Chen says that this is the first step in a long journey that his company and Bitcoin.com plan to take together.

The Exodus vision has always aligned itself towards public blockchains and its fundamental transformative nature of the future of money and the Internet. The Zion Vault is happy to support BCH natively in hardware for security to go hand in hand with the BCH blockchain as an alternative to dominant payment rails and platforms.

HTC and Bitcoin.com have big plans for the future, as the companies want to offer special discounts when paying for phones in BCH, as well a selling the Exodus phones on store.bitcoin.com.

Last but not least the partnership announced today will enable Bitcoin Cash to be used as peer-to-peer electronics cash for all HTC Exodus users around the world.
