You can earn cryptocurrency by simply using Brave browser. Brave Software, Inc created an ecosystem that shares its online advertising revenue with users, and it benefits both users and advertisers in the long-term.
Brave is a free and open-source web browser developed by Brave Software, Inc. As of 2020, the Brave browser has been released for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS. It is mainly composed of three major parts; Chromium-based web browser, Built-in Adblocker for privacy, and the "Basic Attention Token" (BAT), open-source, decentralized advertisement platform based on Ethereum Network.
Brave Software, Inc. was founded on 28 May 2015 by CEO Brendan Eich (creator of JavaScript and former CEO of Mozilla Corporation) and CTO Brian Bondy. Brave is not some kind of sketchy project that came out of nowhere.
Let's talk about the most important aspect of a web browser. How fast is it? Just like Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge, Brave is based on the open-source browser project, Chromium. In terms of processing speed, it performs very similar to other chromium-based browsers.
Additionally, Brave browser has a built-in adblocking feature, Brave Shields, that blocks cross-site trackers and advertisements. Thus, it reduces the loading time of the website by blocking unnecessary ads.
It also has a “private mode” that actually masks your location from the sites you visit by using Tor network. It's way better than chrome's incognito mode.
Here comes the 🍒 on the 🎂. Users can choose to earn BAT (ERC-20 token) by viewing advertisements that are displayed as notifications by the operating system of their computer or device like iPhone, Android phone, Macbook.
It's an optional feature. you can opt-out if you want to enjoy all the fancy features of the Brave browser without receiving free crypto. But this is the best part! who does not want to take free money?
I usually get a total of 30 BAT from my android and desktop brave browser every month. I receive more ads on android phone because it's running 24/7 I guess.
Just like any other cryptocurrency, BAT follows a basic economic principle of supply and demand. Currently, 30 BAT has a value of $10 CAD. Assuming that you would earn roughly 30 BAT every month, you are passively earning annual income of $124 for just using a browser. How crazy is that!
Once you receive your monthly ads revenue payment in BAT, you can transfer it to your personal ETH wallet via Uphold exchange. Alternatively, you can use your BAT to tip your favourite publishers and content creator like wikipedia, duckduckgo. If you don't want free money, give it to platform, content creators you support.
You can see a list of Brave verified (accepting BAT) websites and Brave Verified Creator at batgrowth.com. That's it from me. enjoy free crypto people 😁
