HTC Corp., a Taiwan-based mobile company, has announced that its new blockchain-compatible mobile phone will have Brave as its default internet browser. The blockchain-based phone of HTC, known as Exodus, was launched in October 2018.



Brave is an open-source internet browser which was created by Brendan Eich and Brian Bondy in May 2015. It comes with its own cryptocurrency known as the BAT. It has an inbuilt anti-advertising feature and can block adverts automatically.



BAT is an acronym for ‘basic attention token’. The cryptocurrency is central to Brave’s business idea that aims at selling advertising to users who actually want to put up with it.
