In this post we will talk about the Brave Browser, a browser based on Chrome, with some features of Firefox and that has an adblocker built in, reducing the loading time of the pages, so that the ads are not displayed.
Next, we'll also talk about the Brave Browser rewards program: That's it, when using the Brave Browser you will participate in the distribution of BAT (Basic Attention Token), where you will receive directly in your digital wallet for viewing ads that respect the user's privacy , so you can receive donations for creating content and also to spread the project to more users. How does Brave Rewards program work? There are three forms of earnings using the browser. The first one is through own ads through notifications on the desktop that you can choose to open or not, the second is by referral to friends by your referral code and the third is through donations from third parties on your added channels there Brave Creators platform, exclusive for websites and Youtube channels. Below we will talk about each one of them:
- Desktop notifications: do you know when you open your internet browser and those side windows appear? Well then, maybe even without realizing it you have allowed desktop notifications to be displayed, in the Brave browser they appear but discreetly, if you click on them you can receive a small reward in BAT (Basic Attention Token), but if you prefer not showing them is just disregarding and closing the side window. This is how ads are processed in the Brave Browser, otherwise no ads will appear. If you want to open and check it you will be rewarded for it.
- Referral link: you can also receive a good reward for referring people to use the browser, since it performs much faster than ordinary browsers, because it blocks ads, this is already a differentiator. The referral works as follows, you share your referral link to your friend, after they download, install and have used the browser for 30 days, you will receive a good reward. The reward varies according to each country, which ranges from $ 1 to $ 7.5 (United States), here in Brazil it is 2 dollars per nominee. I will put my referral link for those who want to give strength to the project.
- Content creator: for those who own a website with their own domain, that is, do not use the blogspot services, for example like me, you can register your domain to be a website verified by the Brave Creators program. If you are a youtuber you can also link your channel to be able to receive tips, that are donations from other users directly through the browser wallet, the user of your blog / website / channel who appreciates your content can make a donation in BAT to you.
To receive the cryptocurrency mentioned above, it will be necessary to create a wallet, and in this digital wallet your balance will be credited periodically, according to the Brave calendar, based on your achievements. Below I will place the registration link on the Uphold exchange (exchange office) to have a BAT wallet, or other cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin to link to Brave.
At the end of the address bar, you will find two icons, one of the Brave symbol (lion) and a red triangle (BAT), you will click on the BAT icon and then on the location circled in the image above, to create your Uphold account and link your wallet to the rewards program. You have the possibility of send free of fees your tokens to the Coinbase exchange, that have low fees.

To conclude, we didn't said much about the BAT (Basic Attention Token), which is the official currency of the Brave Browser, in reality it is an ERC-20 token, which uses the Ethereum (ETH) blockchain network. With a market capitalization of over 213 million dollars, initially with a value of $ 0.12, it reached $ 0.80 in January 2018, today it costs $ 0.15.
