Brave makes it easier to buy crypto using its wallet feature. Brave privacy web browser continues to push.
After first sharing Solana plans in November, the company today announced that the 1.39 desktop release includes support for the Solana Blockchain and its SOL tokens. (SPL tokens look similar to Ethereum’s tokens.
The new browser version of Brave Wallet allows you to use the Brave Wallet to purchase, sell, or hold SOL and SPL tokens via the non-custodial Ramp payment platform. Ramp lets users buy crypto directly from their Brave Wallet, rather than having to purchase it on an exchange such as Binance or Coinbase and then transfer it into a wallet.
“With the Ramp Integration, Brave users can spend more time doing the things they love and less on the painful process of converting fiat currencies into crypto,” Ramp’s Head of Marketing, Greg McEwan stated in the Announcement.
Brave is expanding the utility of its crypto rewards token Basic Attention Token ( BAT). Brave users can earn BAT simply by opting in for advertisements to be displayed while they browse. Brave claims that BAT has more 55,000,000 monthly active users.
If sent via Solana’s Wormhole bridge, the token can be wrapped in a paper and used on Solana as an SPL token.
Future BAT holders will be able to use their token to purchase and sell NFTs on Solana NFT Marketplace Magic Eden.
Brave announced that it has partnered with the blockchain because of Solana’s low fees as well as the speed of transactions.
