Freedom Factory has announced the launch of the dGEN1, a mobile device designed to make onchain crypto transactions more accessible.
Set to ship in Spring 2025; the dGEN1 is positioned as an everyday carry (EDC) device that lets users interact with decentralized applications (dapps) without the need for third-party intermediaries or hidden fees.

“Crypto is no longer confined to desktop and browser applications, onchain is now seamless,” Freedom Factory CEO and dGEN1 co-creator Markus Haas said in a statement shared with Decrypt. He explained that by integrating Ethereum at the operating system level, the dGEN1 “removes the friction and complexity of crypto interactions,” freeing them from the limitations imposed by traditional platforms.
The dGEN1 is built around ethOS v4.0, an Ethereum-based operating system, and comes with a dapp Store that supports Ethereum and Layer 2 (L2) applications. Thanks to its L2 integration, the device allows for faster and cheaper transactions while eliminating the need for separate wallets or browser extensions. With an onboard light node, users can validate transactions directly on the device, adding an extra layer of security.
Pre-orders for the dGEN1 are now open on the Freedom Factory website, priced at 0.2 ETH or 61,296 DEGEN, with global shipping expected to begin in Spring 2025.
In addition to its transaction capabilities, the dGEN1 includes integrated crypto messaging, allowing users to “securely communicate within the onchain ecosystem.” The device aims to serve as a tool for crypto enthusiasts looking for more control over their digital assets, combining the functionality of a hardware wallet with the convenience of a mobile device.
Founded in 2021, Freedom Factory has secured investment from high-profile figures in the crypto space such as Balaji Srinivasan and Vitalik Buterin, along with support from organizations including NounsDAO and the Optimism Foundation.
The company’s mission is to advance the adoption of onchain technology, with the dGEN1’s focus on security, ease of use, and digital sovereignty promising to offer an alternative for users seeking a more direct way to interact with blockchain-based platforms.
“The future of onchain is seamless,” Haas said, “and it’s now in your pocket.”

The new target came via a vote in Qubic’s Discord server, which saw Dogecoin beat out two other proof-of-work blockcha...
