7th most visited website becomes Brave publisher<\/h2>\n

Brave<\/a> is revolutionizing the online advertising industry with the use of its native cryptocurrency, the Basic Attention Token<\/a> (BAT). The company has had an incredible year, adding several new features that complement the increasing number of Brave users and content creators.<\/p>\n

While the movement started with smaller websites focused on content creation, it quickly spread to some of the most-visited<\/a> and most-prominent websites on the internet. According to<\/a> BATGrowth, the latest major website to become a Brave Verified publisher is Wikipedia.<\/p>\n

Wikipedia is by far the most popular website to become a Brave publisher. With an Alexa rank of 7, it is unrivaled among Brave\u2019s verified publishers. For reference, Google and YouTube are 1st and 2nd, respectively.<\/p>\n

Among Brave\u2019s verified publishers, Wikipedia is followed closely<\/a> by adult website Xhamster, video sharing platforms Aparat and Vimeo, as well as The Guardian, a British daily newspaper, which hold Alexa ranks of 58, 94, 127, and 136, respectively.<\/p>\n

Supplementing revenue from ads with Brave rewards<\/h2>\n

Having such a high-traffic website become a Brave publisher could bring more adoption to the company's rewards program. Wikipedia is also a perfect guinea pig to test whether Brave rewards could act as a significant source of income for a publisher.<\/p>\n

Wikipedia operates on a donation-based revenue model, with the Wikimedia Foundation reporting<\/a> annual revenues of over $109 million in 2017. It's also one of the few companies that relies on donations while foregoing advertisements on their website.<\/p>\n

Despite the fact that previous research by CryptoSlate\u00a0found<\/a> that Brave rewards still have a long way to go before they become a viable alternative to online ad revenue, the BAT income could be a significant revenue stream for Wikipedia.<\/p>\n

As of press time, Wikipedia and the Wikimedia Foundation have not issued a comment on joining the Brave network. We are yet to see whether this will have a significant effect on the price of BAT, which has seen a slight decline in the early trading hours of Aug. 27.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
