The wallet also supports four decentralized apps (dapps) at launch: crypto gaming platform Enjin, beauty community Cosmee, crypto collectibles platform CryptoKitties and merchant payments service CoinDuck.
The wallet app can be downloaded only on Galaxy S10 phones from the Samsung Galaxy Store. The firm said it plans to expand the service to more devices and cryptocurrencies in the future.
The phone officially started shipping from pre-order sales on March 8.
Samsung Blockchain Wallet will be used in conjunction with Blockchain Keystore and is designed to simplify the transactions process for newcomers to the technology, according to CoinDesk Korea.
Through the supported CoinDuck dapp, users can also make payments to merchants, CoinDesk Korea said in another report on Monday.
In the dapp, users can enter the amount to be paid, scan a QR code providing the online or offline merchant's wallet address, press the “accept” button, and the payment will be made through the Samsung wallet. CoinDuck currently supports only ether .
CoinDuck’s parent company, Chain Partners, said:
"It was inconvenient to copy the address of the merchant's wallet and paste it into the personal wallet. We have dramatically improved the usability of CoinDuck and Samsung Blockchain Wallet.”
