ethos

With our own hardware and OS, we can go in the direction we believe in. We don’t need to bring millions along either.

But if the masses start liking what we have done, then they are more than welcome to join us.

We’re not just in it for the tech. We’re in it for the people that use it.

But what does it do, and how is it different from running CB Wallet or Metamask on my phone? The press I see talks in vague terms ("it has L2 support"), but I can't find anything that tells me what it does differently from today's devices.

Gotcha - for your average crypto consumer, then, the appeal is that my normal browser can be used for dapp interactions due to OS-level hooks for wallet interactions?

Out of curiosity, it's not limited to the browser, is it? Theoretically, one could have a standalone app that leverages this signing prompt ability, yeah?

It runs ethOS, which is a fork of graphene that we’ve been working on for the past few years. ethOS has a system level wallet, onboard light node, xmtp based messenger among others. When using crypto apps you sign txns in-app using biometric auth (you don’t bounce to a wallet or browse within one). There’s even more coming to ethOS on this device.
