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.

Brave browser recently surpassed 30 Million downloads in Google Play. [inlinetweet]The integration of Crypto wallet in Brave browser will allow it’s 30 Million+ users to easily connect and interact with ETH based dApps.[/inlinetweet]

In the beginning, the wallet will not be connected to Brave Rewards. Users at this stage can’t transfer BAT directly between Brave Rewards and Crypto Wallets, however, the team is working towards making this a possibility.
