Samsung Coin is on the horizon

First Samsung launched the new Galaxy S10 with a crypto wallet. Now they are planning on developing their own blockchain network with a token simply called Samsung Coin.

Samsung’s private or public blockchain

Various media outlets are reporting that a person from the Samsung blockchain task force said the South Korean electronics giant is building a blockchain mainnet. The blockchain will be based on Ethereum and will form part of the company’s wireless division. However, the process is still at an “internal experimental” phase.

Apparently, Samsung is considering a private blockchain first followed by a public blockchain. The source said the public blockchain may be a combination of a private and public blockchain or a hybrid. When the blockchain is up and running, Samsung Coin will be launched.

What will Samsung Coin do?

Should Samsung develop a public blockchain, the coin can be traded on any crypto exchange just like one would trade ether or bitcoin for example. It is also said that Samsung Pay may incorporate the blockchain tech.

Media reports also mentioned that the Samsung blockchain task team has been working on the project for the last year. It includes a number of projects and is not limited to Samsung Coin and the blockchain.

Samsung incorporating blockchain tech

A couple of months ago, the Samsung Galaxy S10 was unveiled. It featured a crypto wallet that is compatible with ether and ethereum-based ERC20 tokens. Alas, no Bitcoin though. Users can enjoy decentralized apps (dApps) like CryptoKitties, Cosmee, CoinDuck and crypto gaming platform Enjin.

The product was well received by the crypto community who believes it would create mass adoption of blockchain tech.

Today, the price of Bitcoin is trading around $5 480 according to Coinmarketcap. The price of Ethereum is $164.75.
