42 million Brave users will soon be able to access Solana DApps within Brave

During Solana`s Breakpoint conference in Lisbon, Portugal, executives from Brave and Solana Labs announced that the Brave browser would integrate with the Solana blockchain and feature Solana decentralized applications, or DApps, on its browser. Simultaneously, Solana will promote the adoption of Basic Attention Tokens (BAT), the native digital currency of the Brave Browser, among its DApp users.

Brave is a privacy browser that enables users to block ads, trackers and crosssite cookies. The browser also features a builtin digital wallet similar to MetaMask that allows users to deposit their crypto and interact with DApps. Additionally, users can utilize BAT to tip their favorite content creators on platforms such as Twitter. The Brave Browser has 42 million monthly active users and 1.3 million content creators.

Solana is a blockchain designed to power DApps and decentralized finance, or DeFi, protocols. The network is known for its speed and subcent transaction fees. Notable entities using its blockchain include cryptocurrency exchange FTX, music streaming platform Audius, USD Coin (USDC), nonfungible token hosting platform Metaplex, and highfrequency trading firm Alameda. Solana`s SOL coin has recently surpassed Cardano (ADA) and Tether (USDT) to become the fourthlargest cryptocurrency in the world by market capitalization.
