At the moment, BAT is up more than 19% on the day, according to CoinGecko. The announcement has been particularly bullish for Brave’s Ethereum-based token, the Basic Attention Token (BAT). Brave is built using the same free and open-source codebase as Chrome. Brave’s announcement of Solana wallet support across all versions of their browsers is an important step to onboard the next billion users to Solana,” said Anatoly Yakovenko, CEO of Solana Labs, in a press release.Īccording to data pulled from App Figures, Brave is also currently the third-most downloaded internet browser, after Opera and Google's Chrome. “Deep integration with browsers is key to helping dapps build the best web experiences.

Once the integration is complete in the first half of 2022, millions of Brave users will be exposed to a variety of new Solana decentralized applications, or dapps. The move could prove just as beneficial for the Solana ecosystem, as Brave currently boasts 42 million monthly active users. The low fees could potentially make interacting with crypto, specifically Eich’s projected “next billion crypto users,” far more attractive. Unlike other smart contract-enabled blockchains such as Ethereum, simple transactions on Solana cost as little as 0.000005 SOL, or $0.001, per data from Solana Beach. Brave is turning to Solana due to the crypto network’s high speeds and low costs, according to a company blog post.
