Technological advancements continue to rule the world. There was the revolution of the transportation system that ushered in automobiles in the ‘20s to the reinvention of the communication system by the Internet in the ‘90s. Such moves go to show that the world is continually advancing, courtesy of the unique benefits of using technology.
The paradigm shift once more came into action with the launch of blockchain as another technological advancement. Although it is just a decade old, the blockchain technology has battled many centralized institutions to a standstill. Now, it is moving to another era, which is to wrestle some of the influence exerted by the current framework driving the Internet.

**IS BLOCKCHAIN THE NEXT INTERNET?**
Many factors can decide for or against this assertion. To some analysts, blockchain’s decentralization mantra and the distribution of data empower the end-users to transact without hassles. Besides, it is a better-structured medium of communication that stands a better chance to wrestle power from the centralized structure of the current framework used by the Internet.
The big question that is yet to get an answer before Function X was launched is “Can the blockchain technology offer to the world what automobile was to the world during the ‘20s?” While that may seem to be taking the potentialities of the technology too far, it’s interesting to note that it’s possible on the Function X blockchain.
So, read further to discover how the platform would enthrone blockchain as the next Internet.

**BRINGING BLOCKCHAIN TO THE WORLD OF TELEPHONY**
Now, the Function X platform is bringing the blockchain to fix the fragments in the current communication model of the Internet. By that, it facilitates transactions using the decentralized prowess of blockchain. Besides that, it uses smart devices, such as the XPOS and XPhone developed by Pundi X.
Interestingly, it ushers in a new system of communication that is facilitated using distinct decentralized structures, including protocols and Operating Systems (OS).

**THE ROLE OF THE XPHONE AND XPOS SMART DEVICES

As stated earlier, the decentralized communication layer from the Function X blockchain uses dedicated smart devices called XPOS and XPhone, which are the flagship products of Pundi X. They serve as the media of communication on the broader Function X ecosystem. They also replace the traditional use of mobile applications, this time, in a decentralized structure.
It’s worth mentioning that the XPOS is a hardware device that can be used as traditional mobile phones. On the other hand, the XPhone becomes the Operating System (OS) that powers the device. Both are decentralized and permissible on Function X for onward productivity. Also worthy of mention is that the OS is in tandem with the Android 9.0 Operating System (OS), which makes it feasible to support Google-powered services and other Android mobile applications.
Final Words
Function X is dedicated to creating a decentralized Internet and communication system that would be free of intermediaries. Thankfully, the smart devices and other features like the FXTP for encrypted/end-to-end transmission of data alongside the computer program (DDocker) are there to make the dream come to life.
