The ethOS team introduced the dGEN1, a physical Ethereum-focused device built by Freedom Factory, priced at 0.2 ETH (about $520) with payment also accepted in $DEGEN and by credit card. The article says the device includes a system-level wallet and that buyers can use a referral code for a 5% discount, while referrers earn 5%. Several memecoin communities joined the referral program with custom codes. The author links this to airdrop incentives seen with the Solana Saga, Solana Seeker, and other onchain devices, noting that preorder rewards are promoted explicitly and that the referral window runs until December 31st.
