Enjin is a perfect fit for Samsung as they are a company with extensive Blockchain experience and expertise. The Enjin team created the ERC-1155 asset class on the Ethereum blockchain, a token class used for in-game goods and digital item ownership. ERC 1155 and ERC 721 have taken the world by storm last year, introducing the world to non-fungible tokens such as cryptokitties.

About the Samsung Blockchain Keystore

Furthermore, with this proposed partnership with Enjin, this could also see Samsung branching into the crypto gaming world. Currently, Enjin is building a plugin for Unity to be able to settle crypto transactions during games and this could see Samsung move into this area too as the partnership builds.
With all this talk about the S10 and blockchain, you might be fooled into thinking this was just for crypto enthusiasts but this is ultimately a phone for the masses, which could make this an even more exciting prospect for a future endorsement by the world towards Bitcoin.
Yet they are not the first phone brand to embrace Bitcoin and blockchain. Last year, Chinese smartphone company Huawei embraced pre-installed BTC.com bitcoin wallets for its Honor phone series. HTC, the Taiwanese brand also recently released its Exodus smartphone, which holds a universal cryptocurrency wallet. Not only that, Sirin Labs has also launched its Finney smartphone, in honor of the early Bitcoin developer Hal Finney, which offers native crypto storage.
Overall, this partnership fulfills much of Samsung’s ambitions in the Blockchain Space. Whether it all pans out that way and the deal is confirmed remains to be seen but the signs are pointing in the right direction.
