Secured Event Tracking App for the Blockchain-based Platform

Business Overview

Our client is a hardware and software provider specializing in data security. They planned to launch a cutting-edge Android smartphone seamlessly integrated with their blockchain network, positioning it as a portable, highly protected crypto wallet. The company aimed to develop a phone that, in addition to its core functions, creates a safe environment for secure crypto transactions.

To this end, the client decided to empower their custom firmware with a unique system application designed to record all events occurring with the phone when it’s not in use. The goal was to increase the device’s security even more and thus improve user trust in the client’s company and their product.

Solution

To minimize risks and realize a finalized scope of work, we started our project with the following steps:

• Conducting a discovery phase, during which our team formed a solution that would maximally cover all identified business needs.
• Review of their initial groundwork, after which we suggested many UX and UI improvements and also concluded the inexpediency of reusing existing code.

Events The App Tracks

The application works in the foreground, offline, storing data in a cache and monitoring events such as:

• Opening and closing applications
• Connecting a USB cable
• Attempts to unlock the screen
• User access to the internet, etc.

The app records the events in the log, designed in a visually appealing tabular format, and captures the other user’s actions through screenshots. It also takes a webcam photo of the user if the screen unlocks.

Outcome

We helped the client release the phone on schedule. Supplemented with a secured system app, it now attracts customers who want full control over their devices.
The phone is already available worldwide and has found a loyal audience among users interested in cryptocurrencies, blockchain technologies, and secure crypto transactions. The unique app functionality encourages customers to choose this particular device over other analogs on the market, for they know their smartphones are protected to the maximum.
