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.”

Crypto's best minds are heading east, and it's gaining at a pace that other regions are finding hard to catch up to. Asia was responsible for 32% of global crypto developer activity in 2024, according to a report from venture firm Electric Capital. The firm recently published its comprehensive annual report, analyzing over 900 million code commits across the crypto industry. The transformation represents a nearly threefold increase from Asia's 12% share in 2015, while North America's position de...
Google's announcement of its breakthrough Willow quantum processor has reignited debates about crypto security, with some observers suggesting quantum computers could break Bitcoin's encryption. The tech giant claims its new quantum computing chip can complete certain calculations in five minutes, which would take traditional supercomputers an impractical amount of time to process. Quantum computing is a new type of computing that uses the strange properties of quantum physics, where small part...
Dimo, a platform for developers to build apps and enable car drivers to monetize their data, is migrating between Ethereum scaling networks, the developers exclusively told Decrypt—from Polygon to Coinbase’s Base. Co-founder Rob Solomon believes the move opens doors for valuable partnerships ahead. The project is a “global API layer for cars” that is aiming to make every car on earth smart and programmable. This could manifest, the company says, in a future full of AI car mechanics and smart par...
