It still has a way to go before it can truly compete with the big names, but at this rate, it certainly seems like it has a chance. Now Brave is adding a native cryptocurrency wallet built into the browser. Over the summer, Brave launched its own search engine alternative to Google, while nearly a year ago it offered users a newsreader that wouldn’t track their every move (what a concept!).īrave Wallet sounds like another step in the right direction for the company. Brave has updated its desktop browser with a built-in crypto wallet (appropriately, Brave Wallet) that lets you buy, sell and swap with 'almost any' asset. According to Brave’s blog, users will also be able to view live and historical market graphs via CoinGecko, price match for providers with built-in swap functionality, send / receive assets, buy fiat currency through Wyre, and import / export wallets through MetaMask, Brave’s pre-existing Crypto Wallets extension, and hardware wallets like Trezor or Ledger.Ī track record to back it up - Brave is a relative newcomer within the browser market, but it’s already done a pretty great job of positioning itself as a go-to rival for established, privacy-minded options like Mozilla. Fun fact about that, the revenue split is 70% to the user seeing the ad and 30% to Brave.īrave also has a built-in crypto wallet and maybe some other crypto-related features but I'm not familiar with those.A host of other features - Brave Wallet also offers a number of other features designed to set it apart from the countless online crypto storage options out there. The revenue model for the company is the same as any other browser + the money they get from showing the ads (to users that opt in). The ads are not that invasive (text/image) especially compared to the ads on many websites (i.e. The ads are optional (users need to specifically opt in for them) and the users can control how many and how often they see ads. Brave has updated its desktop browser with a built-in crypto wallet called Brave Wallet that lets you buy, sell, and swap tokens. The crypto stuff (ads) let's users get a little bit of money (cryptocurrency) from seeing the browser pop out some ads every now and then. Wallets are of different types which include cold and hot wallets. These wallets are essential as they let you buy, store, send, receive and sell crypto in the palm of your hands.
The Brave stuff includes automatic ad and tracker blocker, which also makes the browser faster than Google Chrome.īrave also has built their own search engine that doesn't rely on Google or Bing. Some crypto wallets can store all of your coins, but others specialize in only one type of cryptocurrency. Basically Google Chrome without the Google part and some Brave stuff added.
