Hello everyone, today I bring you a new browser called brave that brings many benefits, including earning money for just having it. I will leave some basic information about "what is it?", "how does it work?" and "what does it keep?".

First ¿What is the Brave browser?
Brave is a more-or-less standard browser that lets users navigate to websites, run web apps and display or play online content. Like other browsers, it is free to download and use, remembers site authentication information and can block online ads from appearing on sites.

Brave allows users to support the sites they visit with BAT. Users may earn BAT by watching ads or by funding their BAT wallet. Users are paid 70% of the revenue they generate. The remaining 30% is split between Brave and the advertisement's publisher.

In a test version of the browser, Brave targets web ads by analyzing the user anonymized browsing history.

Brave Software's Basic Attention Token ad exchange platform received investment from Danhua Capital, Digital Currency Group, Foundation Capital, Founders Fund, Huiyin Blockchain Venture, Pantera Capital, and Propel Venture Partners. Originally incorporated in Delaware as Hyperware Labs, Inc in 2015, they later changed their name to Brave Software, Inc. and registered in California, where the company is headquartered.

"The "Basic Attention Token" (BAT) is an open-source, decentralized ad exchange platform based on Ethereum. The platform is integrated with the Brave web browser. It is not possible to use or access the platform from any other browser. An official description of the token is provided via a whitepaper.

Brave Payments, which formerly used Bitcoin, allows users to tip websites and content creators (such as YouTubers and Twitch streamers) with BAT tokens, akin to patronage services such as Patreon.

Integration of BAT into an application involves implementing BAT Ads, a system that displays ads to users based on locally stored data. Ad targeting is performed locally, removing the need for third-party tracking.

In an initial coin offering on May 31, 2017, BAT sold 1,000,000,000 BAT for a total of 156,250 Ethereum (US$35M) in less than 30 seconds. An additional 500,000,000 BAT was retained by the team for developer and user growth pools, which is used to promote the adoption of the platform.

Additionally, they received at least US$7 million in angel investments from venture capital firms, including Peter Thiel's Founders Fund, Propel Venture Partners, Pantera Capital, Foundation Capital, and the Digital Currency Group.

In early December 2017, the development team disbursed the first round of its user growth pool grants. A total of 300,000 BAT was distributed to new users on a first come first served basis.

In mid January 2018, the team issued US$1M worth of BAT tokens to users in a promotional giveaway. These grants were claimed within ten days.

On March 1, 2018, the company expanded Brave Payments support to streamers on the Twitch.tv platform, and increased referral program grants by US$1M worth of BAT.

On April 24, 2019, Brave implemented BAT Ads, a program that pays users with BAT for viewing advertisements as compensation for their attention. Users get 70% of the revenue their attention generates, deposited into their brave wallet monthly."

The way to earn money it's through a referral program called Brave Creators. Basically the only you need to do is sign up as a content creator from some platform like youtube or twitch and they will give you a referral link that you must share with your family, friends, followers so that they join to the brave family. For each person who has downloaded and installed the browser you will earn 5 usd in BAT or in a cryptocurrency of your choice, since the browser will pay you for each referral only and exclusively if you have linked an uphold wallet, and in uphold you can receive payments in different currencies and cryptocurrencies.
