However, companies like Brave, which launched without much ado or flashy promotions, prove that cryptocurrency products can integrate with ease into existing user habits, and perhaps even triumph over competitors.<\/p>\n<p>In comparison to other enterprising, and often far-fetched, blockchain projects, the Brave browser had a relatively smoother path to mainstream adoption.<\/p>\n<p>The flagship browser offers an inbuilt app blocker that speeds up a user\u2019s browsing experience, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.networkworld.com\/article\/3021113\/security\/forbes-malware-ad-blocker-advertisements.html\">provides greater security<\/a>\u00a0and consumes lesser data. However, Brave\u2019s USP lies in its related Basic Attention Token (BAT), which incentivizes users to view advertisements and award content creators.<\/p>\n<h2>The BAT Token<\/h2>\n<p>Offered via an ICO in May 2017, BAT famously raised over $35 million within 30 seconds of sale commencement. At the time, the <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/blockchain\/ethereum\/\">Ethereum blockchain<\/a>-based token promised investors a decentralized advertisement solution, a narrative which has undoubtedly succeeded.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_60477\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-60477\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-60477\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/companies-social-300x158.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"158\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-60477\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Related:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/five-blockchain-businesses-appear-on-wsj-2018-tech-companies-to-watch-list\/\">Five Blockchain Businesses Appear on WSJ \u20182018 Tech Companies to Watch\u2019 List<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Regarding incentives, users are rewarded BAT merely by browsing the internet, with all tokens received through an inbuilt app wallet. While users can utilize collected tokens for tipping creators and publishers, the latter can enable Brave-supported advertisements on their platform to earn additional revenue, which the company touts is larger than YouTube payouts.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisers can also purchase BAT on cryptocurrency exchanges to buy ad slots on the Brave browser. However, precise statistics on the number of marketing firms choosing brave over Google, YouTube or other social media platforms remain unknown as of writing.<\/p>\n<h2>Increasing Utility<\/h2>\n<p>As per the whitepaper, future partnerships may allow BAT-enabled purchases on several different platforms in exchange for services or goods. For now, however, the token\u2019s utility is limited to altcoin traders and ad-slot purchasing.<\/p>\n<p>Despite its recent success, Brave is quick to point out that the download number does not necessarily correspond to a compared amount of users. In July, the company stated that it had 3 million active users per day, with the figure expected to hit 5 million by the end of 2018.<\/p>\n<p>Today, Brave is compatible across several operating systems\u2013including Linux, Windows and Apple\u2013and features over 20 search engines. The company also announced a partnership with DuckDuckGo, the privacy-centric search engine founded in 2008.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brave Software has revealed that its cryptocurrency-backed browser, Brave, has surpassed 10 million downloads.
