A Meteoric Rise in Publishers
In a shocking revelation, the number of publishers leveraging the Brave browser has skyrocketed by an astounding 1,200% over the last year, according to a report from Decrypt. Talk about an overachiever! From a modest count of 18,931 in July 2018, the platform now boasts more than 230,000 publishers. That’s like going from a high school band to a full-blown orchestra in a heartbeat!
Who’s Joining the Brave Party?
Brave is not just a home for tech-savvy individuals; major players are also getting in on the action:
- 29,278 website publishers, including giants like the Washington Post and Smithsonian Magazine.
- 17,417 Twitter publishers finding their voice.
- 2,917 Reddit publishers ready to share their wisdom.
- 166,698 YouTube publishers eager to make their mark.
- Over 12,000 Twitch publishers entertaining the masses.
It’s like a social media platforms’ reunion with everyone bringing their own unique flair!
Tipping the Scales with BAT
Just when you thought Brave couldn’t get any cooler, they launched a feature for tipping content creators on Twitter using their native Basic Attention Tokens (BAT). With this new feature, generous users can support their favorite tweeters with tips. And let’s not forget the recurrence setup—because who doesn’t want to keep the cash flow going?
New Cash Flow for BAT Token Holders
Last month, users enjoying the nightly version of Brave received a tasty upgrade—withdrawal capabilities for BAT tokens after identity verification with UpHold, a crypto banking startup. Fancy, huh? After going through the verification dance, users can buy more BAT tokens if they want to sprinkle more love on their favorite content creators or website maintenance. It’s like a digital tip jar, only cooler!
The Current BAT Buzz
As of now, BAT is trading at around $0.201, dipping down by 2.76% in the last 24 hours according to CoinMarketCap. Since its launch around $0.166 last June, the token has experienced some wild ups and downs, achieving highs of around $0.86 back in January. It’s a wild ride, and some might say the BAT saga is just getting started!
