Introducing the Onchain EDC
summary
A customized Android fork puts Ethereum into the system layer to simplify mobile transactions; the team moves from DIY flashes to selling pre-flashed Pixel 7A batches that repeatedly sell out, funded by grants from Nouns and OP and investors BAGI and Bolik. Frustrated by OEM lock and sourcing woes (one batch sourced “under a bridge”), engineers pivot to a compact secondary device called Deon One as an everyday carry onchain EDC and launch a pre-sale live onstage.
