Ethereum-based operating system ethOS has unveiled dGEN1, a hardware device for blockchain-dApp interaction and running a lightweight client. dGEN1 includes a browser and a built-in wallet. It also has a special screen that shows transaction notifications and metadata during network interactions.
Derived from LineageOS and an Android fork, ethOS integrates its own Nimbus light client to ensure user credentials are authenticated when using blockchain dApps without relying on trusted third-party RPCs, the company said. The built-in browser of ethOS supports IPFS and .eth domains.
The dGEN1 device can be pre-ordered by launching an NFT on the Base Layer 2 network for 0.2 ETH ($520). The company expects to start shipping devices in the second quarter of 2025. According to Basescan, there are currently about 630 users with NFTs.
