Basic Attention Token (BAT) is a cryptocurrency founded by Brendan Eich in 2017. It is a token based on the Ethereum blockchain that aims to revolutionize the digital advertising industry by directly connecting advertisers, content creators and viewers together.
The team over at BAT aim to create a new form of digital advertising space that fairly rewards content creators and the viewers of the advertisements through the power of blockchain technology. Furthermore, advertisers will also receive a better ROI using their system as they get more accurate data to play around with.
The entire project is powered through the Brave browser, a specially designed browser that is focused on privacy and speed. It is created by Brendan Eich, the co-founder of the popular web-browser Mozilla and the creator of the programming language JavaScript. The Brave browser blocks all advertisements, cookies and malicious trackers by default, helping users to retain privacy. The browser also automatically upgrades every website to HTTPS for an additional layer of security whilst browsing.
Brave automatically tracks the attention that a user may devote to a particular advertisement and assigns an Attention Value to that user. Using machine learning on that Attention Value for different adverts then allows Brave to show relevant advertisements to that specific user. This is perfect for both users and advertisers alike. The most important feature regarding attention tracking is the fact that the data tracked will always remain anonymous and never leaves the hosts computer at any time, allowing the user to retain his data.

I've got nothing to say really, so I thought I'd remind myself and everyone to use more Brave stuff, whether it's the browser, apps, privacy features, search or whatever. They are doing so much good I'm starting to get worried about them getting comp...

When it comes to protecting your data and ensuring your privacy, one of the biggest holes that currently faces the public is the use of using your email address. This is a common and widespread practice, though we have learned over the years how comp...

Over the years, I have gotten to see Brave grow from just a couple million users to 120 million-plus users today, and I have to say, thinking about that is just so wild to me. One of the first things that got my attention with Brave was its BAT rewar...

Sometimes being right is not very satisfying. About a year ago, I wrote an article questioning the future of Presearch. At the time, people still believed it would become the decentralized alternative to Google. The idea sounded fantastic: a privacy-...

To be honest, while I have continued to receive BAT awards, they are not nearly what they once were, so I do not pay a ton of attention to them. That being said, today in the middle of the crypto pullback, we are seeing Robinhood of all places pushed...

While the hype around Openclaw and what it can do has died down somewhat, many people I work with still use either Openclaw itself or Openclaw clones to speed up their work or handle other daily tasks. Critical to how well your Openclaw agents work i...
