HTC releases a blockchain router so you can easily operate a Bitcoin full node at home.

The new device is said to improve data protection at home by allowing users to keep their own private keys via a hardware wallet. The goal, according to HTC’s decentralized chief officer, Phil Chen, is to challenge the dominance of smart devices from large technology companies – Amazon Alexa, Google Nest, Facebook, etc. – that compromise users’ personal information.   

“EXODUS is about ownership. Possessing your keys, possessing your data, possessing your privacy … EXODUS is the shield against the onslaught of big tech and its attack on the privacy of your home. By using the EXODUS 5G hub, users have more control and ownership over their data than ever before. ”    Phil Chen

HTC goes on to say that the hub allows users to have their router keys, which gives them more power over their own data. “They are now verifying the cloud servers instead of verifying you. It’s a complete shift in power from the status quo. ”
