In a future release, Brave will integrate an opt-in "pay-to-surf" program ("Brave Ads" and Basic Attention Token) that will allow users to earn a share of ad revenue in crypto tokens for seeing privacy-respecting advertisements.
In addition to its privacy features, Brave offers Brave Payments, a contribution system that allows users to donate to websites and content creators on the web. Donations are kept anonymous via zero knowledge proof protocols and are denominated in a cryptocurrency token known as "Basic Attention Token". Until mid-late 2017, the system formerly used Bitcoin.
On desktop, Brave is a Chromium-based browser. In the past, Brave was an Electron application that featured a custom HTML, CSS and JavaScript front-end. The Electron-based architecture was developed by Brave as "Muon", intended to be a more secure fork of the Electron framework. However, in March 2018, Brave announced that it would be transitioning over to a full native, C++ Chromium front-end and abandoning its Muon architecture. The new native architecture would be named Brave-core.
Brave has invested in research to improve manually curated ad block lists with machine learning. The technology was initially published as "AdGraph".
BraveBrave is aan open-source, privacy-focused web browser created by web pioneer Brendan Eich (CEO) and Brian Bondy (CTO) through Brave Software. Brave offers a handful of privacy features out of the box, including third-party ad and tracker blocking, fingerprinting protection, automatic HTTPS upgrades and Tor capabilities. Brave is officially available on Windows, MacOS, Linux, Android and iOS. Brave claims page load speeds up to 7x faster than competing browsers due to its native ad and tracker blocking technology.

The Brave web browser is co-developed alongside the Basic Attention Token digital advertising platform by Brave Software. The browser integrates the Basic Attention Token platform by allowing users to donate to websites and content creators in the platform's nativeeponymous cryptocurrency token, the Basic Attention Token.
In a future release, Brave will integrate Basic Attention Token's digital advertising platform, allowing users to opt into seeing ads in exchange for a share of ad revenue in a "pay-to-surf" model. Ad revenue shares will be denominated in BAT tokens and will accrue in the user's in-browser cryptocurrency wallet. Basic Attention Token's client-side ad technology allows for ad targeting without ever requiring users to reveal their data.

The Basic Attention Token (BAT) platform is comprised of several components, including a self-serve ad platform (similar to Google AdWords) and a suite of attention-measurement algorithms and reward systems. Integration of BAT into an application involves integrating BAT Ads, a system that matches and displays ads to users based on locally stored data. BAT Ads's ad matchingtargeting is performed wholly on-device, obviating the need for third-party tracking.
Basic Attention Token's eponymous Ethereum-based utility token serves as the unit of account within the platform and is meant to value human attention:
1. Advertisers purchase advertising space and user attention on the platform using BAT tokens;
2. Publishers receive user contributions and advertising revenue in the form of BAT tokens;
3. Users will be paid in BAT for viewing BAT ads.
BAT is a client-side ad technology. All ad matching, targeting and delivery occurs on the client's device. Since ad matching and delivery occurs client-side, no user data collection or tracking is required.
Developers will be able to integrate BAT into their applications using a to-be-released BAT source development kit (SDK). Integrating BAT into a mobile application will be akin to integrating Google's AdMob, and will allow developers to monetize their applications by displaying advertisements to users.
The Basic Attention Token (BAT) is an ERC20 token based on the Ethereum blockchain. The value of the token is based on user attention. Basic Attention Token was created by Brendan Eich (the creator of Javascript and co-founder of Mozilla and Firefox). 15% of the tokens have been assigned to the company Brave.
Basic Attention Token (BAT) is a digital advertising platform by Brendan Eich, creator of Javascript and co-founder of Mozilla and Firefox. Basic Attention Token held an initial coin offering on May 31, 2017 for its eponymous ERC-20 utility token, raising approximately $35M USD at the time in less than 30 seconds. The BAT token is designed to correctly value and price user attention within the platform.

In addition to providing ad revenue for publishers and application developers, BAT will share ad revenue with users.

As a cryptocurrency, BAT tokens may be used to redeem rewards and services with participating merchants in the BAT ecosystem, or withdrawn from the platform and exchanged for other currencies.
Basic Attention Token is developed alongside the Brave web browser by Brave Software. Brave will be the first application to integrate the BAT platform, allowing users to opt into ads in exchange for BAT tokens.
Brave Payments in Brave allows users to tip websites and content creators (like YouTubers and Twitch streamers) with BAT tokens, akin to patronage services like Patreon.
