“At Brave, we protect consumers’ privacy, Internet speed, and data cost, all of which are being sacrificed in today’s ecosystem. In addition, we strive to properly reward our users for their attention and allow them to easily support their favorite publishers and content creators. Our partnership with bitFlyer is a big step forward in rebuilding a consumer-first Internet ecosystem so please look forward to future developments.”
