PhunCoin from Phunware, an innovative cryptocurrency which will have unique global reach and distribution, will allow consumers to take back control of their data by creating a value-based exchange and a virtuous cycle of monetization.

Given their deep and rich base of consumer mobile data, Phunware is uniquely qualified to launch a transactional cryptocurrency designed to enable and enhance the mobile brand experience for both brands and consumers. PhunCoin will reinvent how consumers control their identities, share their personal data and get compensated for providing personal information using digital smart contracts on the blockchain, a vision Phunware believes will position PhunCoin for mainstream adoption.
