Samsung completed the integration of Bitcoin (BTC) functionality on its blockchain-enabled smartphones.
It comes after the launch of its flagship Galaxy S10 range back in March, which included a “Blockchain Keystore” that offers storage of cryptocurrency and tranactions for Ether (ETH) and related ERC-20 tokens, but had at the time excluded Bitcoin (BTC).
The tech giant has also now included Bitcoin features, which provide a developer kit (SDK) for several S10 models (S10e, S10, S10+ and S10 5G), as well as the Note10 and Note10+ devices.
zhe SDK allows Android devices to link blockchain addresses to the Blockchain Keystore, sign cryptocurrency transactions and check the Keystore status.
