French electronics giant Metavasio, under the brand name Thomson Computing, has launched the world’s first web3 laptop, offering digital asset storage capabilities and support for decentralized applications.
According to a press release shared with crypto.news, the laptop features built-in cold storage for digital assets and an operating system tailored for interactions with decentralized networks and applications.
“With more than $1.7 billion stolen from centralized exchanges in 2023 and $3.8 billion in 2022, integrated cold storage will enable users to take control of their crypto custody and avoid placing their digital wealth at risk,” the release noted.
Further, the laptop incorporates a <a href="https://crypto.news/coinbase-upgrades-cloud-product-with-multi-party-computation/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">multi-party computation</a> (MPC) framework, a cryptographic protocol that distributes private key operations across multiple parties to eliminate single points of failure and enhance security.
In this regard, Metavasio partnered with <a href="https://crypto.news/the-future-of-crypto-security-trustless-mpc-is-the-next-big-thing-opinion/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">io.finnet</a>, a U.S.-based company specializing in secure digital asset infrastructure and advanced cryptographic solutions, with the collaboration formalized in November 2024.
The laptop also integrates the Thomson Computing Wallet alongside an underlying token ecosystem, which will incentivize users through activities such as resource sharing and engaging with decentralized applications.
