Smartphone advancements and the integration of digital assets have become an intrinsic part of our lives. Despite this, there is still a notable absence of smartphones that effectively combine advanced security features with convenient virtual asset trading services for high-end users. The result is a growing demand for innovative solutions that can bridge this divide and offer a seamless, secure, and user-centric experience for managing digital assets.
Meeting this demand is VERTU, a manufacturer and retailer of luxury handmade smartphones, which has partnered up with HashKey Exchange, a licensed crypto exchange based in Hong Kong, to introduce uniquely designed devices. The agreement will see VERTU pre-install the HashKey Exchange app to its smartphone range, providing a more convenient and secure virtual asset trading experience for its discerning clientele.
Having established strong footholds in the digital asset and blockchain sectors, both companies have solid foundations to integrate.
HashKey Exchange has earned recognition as a leader in virtual assets trading, renowned for providing secure, convenient, and compliant services. Conversely, VERTU made waves by introducing the world’s inaugural Web3 phone in 2022, followed by the METAVERTU2 in 2023, seamlessly integrating Web3 and AI technologies to bolster intelligence and security features.
The collaboration between VERTU and HashKey Exchange took root during the unveiling of the METAVERTU2 at a launch event in Hong Kong on November 1st. HashKey Group COO, Livio Weng, not only attended the event but also voiced robust support for METAVERTU2’s digital asset security features.
During the launch, Weng introduced the innovative concept of “warm wallets,” suggesting a partitioned storage approach. This entails storing the majority of assets in cold wallets for heightened security, while assets designated for everyday use can be placed in hot wallets, combining the security of the former with the convenience of the latter.
Incorporating an innovative blend of hardware and software capabilities, the METAVERTU2 attains security at an institution-grade level. The AI-powered phone boasts significant storage capacity and dual-model AI integrations, enhancing user task management. The phone’s security features encompass bank-level security chips, KEYBOX technology, and a meticulously regulated MPC wallet utilizing fragmented private key storage. These measures not only fortify private key protection but also minimize barriers to wallet usage.
By combining VERTU’s luxury smartphones with HashKey Exchange’s crypto trading expertise, this collaboration sets a new standard for high-end devices, enriching the user experience and contributing to the progression of the digital landscape. As digital assets continue to integrate into our lives, the convergence of cutting-edge technology and financial security heralds a promising era for luxury smartphones and the broader digital ecosystem.
