What's special with

HTC EXODUS 1

Secure enclave

The secure enclave is a locked area of HTC EXODUS 1 hidden from Android and untrusted apps.

This secure enclave will hold the keys to your crypto, whether currencies, tokens, or non-fungible

tokens (NFTs).

Zion wallet

Zion allows you to conduct crypto transactions, view and manage your crypto collectibles, and

manage your crypto life while maintaining ownership of your keys.

With your Zion wallet, store, send, and request bitcoin, ether, litecoin, ERC-20

tokens, and ERC-721 collectibles.

To learn more, see What you can do with Zion on page 29.

Social Key Recovery

Social Key Recovery is an optional feature that allows your trusted contacts to help you recover your

wallet.

When enabling Social Key Recovery, three to five contacts of your choice can

download an app that allows them to send you recovery data. Your recovery

data is spread out among multiple contacts, and heavily encrypted by the app

on your contact's phone. At least three contacts are needed to recover your

wallet.
