dGEN1 Features

A short list :)

Laser

To activate the laser, quickly press the red button twice. Hold the button pressed on the second tap to keep the laser running.

The laser will emit a sound when running. There is a 3% chance for a special sound to trigger on each laser activation. Try it to find out :)

Local Voice-to-Text

Whenever a text input field is focused, hold the red button to activate voice-to-text. Release the button to insert the transcribed text.

Voice recognition runs entirely on local Whisper models that support multiple languages, so no audio data leaves the device.

Onboard light clients

To do anything on Ethereum (like checking your balance or sending a transaction), your wallet has to talk to a Node; basically a server that provides blockchain data and sends your transactions to the network.

In theory, anyone can run their own node, but in practice most people can’t (or don’t want to). So wallets usually rely on third-party nodes.

That’s a problem, because most apps trust the node blindly and a bad or manipulated node can:

• Lie about blockchain data (fake balance, fake transaction status, fake “you received assets” notifications)

• Delay or censor transactions (your transaction might “not go through” even though it should)

• Exploit your swaps using MEV / sandwich attacks, which can make you lose money during trades

• Trick you into signing dangerous transactions

• Track your activity and harm your privacy

To defend against this, you can use a light client, which verifies Ethereum data independently, so you can confirm that the information you’re getting from nodes is real and untampered.

On the dGEN1, you can enable the onboard light client anytime via Quick Settings. Currently you can choose between Nimbus and Helios by long pressing the light client item.

AI Overlay

At any time, press the power button twice in quick succession to summon the onboard AI assistant. If allowed to, It can see what’s currently on your screen and execute commands either through a chat prompt (displayed at the top of the screen) or via voice input by holding the device’s red button. With the AI assistant, you can:

• Buy and send crypto from anywhere on the device

• Open and interact with apps

• Get real-time explanations of what’s on your screen

• Ask general questions too, just like a regular AI assistant

Onboard wallet

Every dGEN1 comes with a "smart wallet" that is generated on the device on first boot and is stored in the TEE (Trusted Secure Environment) of the device. This wallet implementation means that users don't need to worry about their mnemonic phrases or raw private keys and allows for recovery via the provided recovery card.

C.H.A.D. AI Assistant

CHAD (Computer Helping A Degen) is the main app to converse with your AI assistant. We built all our apps to expose additional features to this AI agent, enabling a lot of cool features like:

• Send, trade and swap assets directly

• Open and interact with applications

• Get an overview of your current assets and positions

• Crawl your wallet history

Paymaster system

The "Paymaster" system is a functionality that was first introduced with the advent of smart wallets. This system allows for a variety of features that are not possible on traditional keypair wallets. On the dGEN1, the paymaster is currently used to:

• Interact with chains without needing to have eth on each of them

• Unlock better models for the CHAD AI assistant

• To learn more about how to manage and top up your paymaster, check Paymaster Guide

XMTP Messenger

The dGEN1 comes with it's own private messenger powered by the XMTP protocol. Every dGEN1 user has the option to enroll their XMTP identity on first boot or when starting the app for the first time and chat across multiple clients like the base app or other dGEN1 users.

The device is able serve notifications of new messages without needing to rely on third party push notification services, preserving users anonymity.

App Directory

This app contains a list of curated apps submitted by the wider community and approved by us. This app contains both PWA (Web apps repacked in a way that they run as if they were native apps on the dGEN1) or real native apps.

We are working hard to expand the list of apps. If you wish for your app to be featured, feel free to contact us over our social medias (X: @FreedomFactory) or via email: [email protected]

Token launcher

The dGEN1 includes a built-in token launchpad that lets users create and deploy tokens easily via Clanker on the base chain.

When launching a token, creators allocate at least 5% of the token’s initial supply to the dGEN1 airdrop pool, rewarding the broader dGEN1 community. The launchpad also tracks tokens deployed by other dGEN1 users, making it easy to discover, ape, and trade community tokens directly from the device.

Airdrop pool

Each dGEN1 is automatically enrolled to our official airdrop pool. The amount is split evenly across every device.

If you want to view what's currently on the pool or donate to it, you can do so via the official address: 0x476e48a832C593EE17317c008870a8aa4E649610. Currently the airdrop pool is supported on mainnet, base and polygon.

Modified Firefox Browser

The dGEN1 ships with a modified Firefox browser that lets the integrated wallet connect to dApps directly from within the browser.

This enables the system to detect when a dApp is being used and, if the user chooses, automatically log them in. Most modern dApps will recognize the dGEN1 as a supported wallet option.

If a dApp doesn’t list the dGEN1 explicitly, users can simply select “Connect via MetaMask” as a fallback; The dGEN1 intercepts the MetaMask connection request and injects the integrated wallet instead. For more info, check Connect your dGEN1 wallet to apps
