About
Basic Attention is a decentralized, blockchain-based digital advertising and tokenized attention economy protocol integrated within the Brave web browser ecosystem. Designed to address inefficiencies, privacy concerns, and fraud in digital advertising, the utility token aligns incentives among users, publishers, and advertisers. Users receive tokens as compensation for viewing privacy-respecting advertisements within the browser, creators and publishers receive user contributions and ad revenue shares for their content, and advertisers gain measurable audience engagement with privacy-focused accounting. Built primarily on Ethereum and Solana blockchains, the platform incorporates user rewards, self-custody wallet services, decentralized payment systems, and creator tipping across digital media networks.
