If you've amassed a fortune in cryptocurrencies, you probably don't keep it all (or any of it) on your mobile phone. But a company called Sikur wants you to reconsider that.。
On Tuesday, the company has launched a security-oriented smartphone called the SikurPhone. One of its main features is a built-in cryptocurrency wallet which, ideally, would allow you to keep cryptocoins on your phone without having to worry about losing them. 。
SEE ALSO:The 'Matrix phone' is back and it's awful..。The phone itself is based on a highly customized version of Android 7.0, Sikur's COO Alexandre Vasconcelos told me at the company's booth at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. It's not for the common user: It doesn't have access to Google's Play Store, it won't run any apps that haven't been vetted by Sikur, and its interface is far more spartan and corporate-looking than that of your typical, everyday Android.。
The specs won't wow you either, thought they're probably good enough for most users: a 5.5-inch Full HD screen, a MediaTek MT6750 processor, 4GB of RAM, 64GB of storage, a 2,800mAh battery and a 13-megapixel rear camera, as well as a 5-megapixel selfie shooter.。
Thanks for signing up!。
But this phone isn't about playing Android games -- in fact, I bet that most users won't even use it as their main device. "It's sort of like the Ledger," said Vasconcelos, referring to a hardware wallet that's a popular choice for securely storing cryptocurrency. "If you lose your phone, we can remotely wipe it for you. You can get a new one, log in, and your funds will be safe, as your private keys are stored in our cloud."。

While leaving their funds in the hands of a single company might not exactly be what cryptocurrency owners prefer, at least Sikur is addressing this concern the right way. In November and December of 2017, the company hired a bug bounty company called HackerOne to test its security. "They were unable to penetrate our defenses," Vasconcelos told me. 。
The phone is not just for the crypto-wealthy; in fact, the wallet is just one of many apps available on the platform. Vasconcelos sees it mainly as a tool for corporations and governments, though he thinks there's lots of potential for individual users as well. 。
