Brave integrates crypto wallet in its browser

Brave today mentioned in the blog post addition of crypto wallet feature in its ‘Brave’ browser. The wallet will initially support ETH and most of the ERC-20 standard tokens including its own native cryptocurrency ‘BAT’ and collectibles.

Much like Metamask but build into Brave browser, users will have control over their keys. As per the blog post, the crypto wallet is currently for people who have a working knowledge of how to use hardware and software wallets safely together.

The Crypto Wallet is currently available in the Dev and Nightly version of the browser. Currently, the wallet is yet to go through extensive testing. Therefore, the firm has adviced users to try small amount transactions and regularly maintain backups.
