publishers

on the BAT platform. This enables any Brave desktop user to seamlessly contribute to these properties with BAT via the integrated Brave Payments system in the browser, either through user grants or with BAT they purchase for their integrated wallets.

In the coming months, Brave and Townsquare will work closely to test elements of the blockchain-based digital advertising and services BAT platform. Tests will include ad pilots, where users consent to view ads while maintaining their privacy in exchange for earning a share of the revenue along with the publishers. This will fulfill Brave’s promise to pay users to browse. Brave and Townsquare will also test premium uses of the BAT platform. Concepts include allowing the use of the tokens to gain access to special content from publishers, playing games, or receiving gift cards. In this sense, the tokens are similar to other loyalty points or airline miles programs.

“The partnership with Townsquare is an exciting milestone for Brave, as we connect users with publishers while testing advertising solutions that only blockchain-based technology can deliver,” said Brendan Eich, CEO and co-founder of Brave. “Brave and Townsquare share an innovative approach to digital advertising and we look forward to this collaboration.”

About Brave Software

Brave Software’s (

https://brave.com/

) fast, privacy-oriented browser combined with its blockchain-based digital advertising platform is resetting the web for users, publishers and advertisers. Users get a better, less cluttered and speedier web experience, publishers will increase their revenue share, and advertisers will receive better reporting. Brave’s micropayments and forthcoming opt-in anonymous ads provide a new way forward for publishers. The Brave solution is a win-win for everyone who has a stake in the open Web and who is weary of giving up privacy and revenue to the ad-tech intermediaries. Brave Software was co-founded by Brendan Eich, co-founder of Mozilla and creator of JavaScript, and Brian Bondy, formerly of Khan Academy and Mozilla.
