Initially introduced in February 2023, BSIM cards will enhance interoperability by allowing users to easily store assets and messages on mobile devices. The cards will feature digital signatures, encrypted storage, and key retrievals, ensuring the security of private keys and overall protection.

Additionally, users can use the BSIM cards to transfer assets between compatible chains and display assets across a variety of applications when needed.

The first launch of BSIM is scheduled to roll out in Hong Kong, targeting China Telecom’s extensive user base of over 300 million users. Following the launch, BSIM will fully expand into key mainland China locations, including Shanghai.
