Although he has not been able to spell out the specifications, Chen said that Exodus will have a wallet feature in it. Then, in the long run, he hopes to find a more efficient way to mine cryptocurrency in mobile devices. HTC was scheduled to release an official report related to this year.

In addition, the co-founder of HTC Vive explained that it has been holding CryptoKitties, a video game based on blockchain. In this game, players can buy, maintain, and sell a variety of virtual cats, similar to some sort of trading activity in digital currencies.
