The Basic Attention Token or BAT is one of the tokens that people writing on PUBLISH0X get paid in, but what is it exactly? Well, it is a new cryptocurrency and an Ethereum Based token made to be integrated with the BRAVE web browser. Brave as a browser is open-source and privacy centered, designed to block trackers and malware when searching online. This allows the browser to decrease loading times and help protect user data.
In 2017, BAT was launched by founders Brian Bondy and Mozilla co-founder Brendan Eich. Users can use BAT they earn to pay their favorite websites, YouTube creators, and Twitch streamers. The tokens can be redeemed for hotel vouchers and gift certificates. On exchanges like BitFlyer, you can even exchange BAT for other cryptocurrencies or government-backed money.
