About
Basic Attention Token (BAT)

Basic Attention Token (BAT) is a digital advertising token built on the Ethereum blockchain, designed to revolutionize the digital advertising landscape through its integration with the privacy-focused Brave browser. The project aims to solve inefficiencies and privacy concerns prevalent in traditional online advertising by fairly rewarding users for their attention, while offering advertisers better returns and publishers a more equitable revenue share. BAT creates a transparent and decentralized advertising exchange, leveraging blockchain technology to connect advertisers, publishers, and users directly. This system improves ad targeting efficacy through on-device machine learning without compromising user data, a key differentiator from conventional ad platforms.

The core technology involves the Brave browser, which blocks invasive ads and trackers by default. Users who opt-in to view privacy-respecting Brave Ads are compensated with BAT tokens. These tokens can then be used to tip content creators and publishers, access premium content, or be exchanged for other digital assets. For advertisers, BAT serves as the payment currency for ad campaigns, ensuring their budget is spent on verified user attention. As an ERC-20 utility token, BAT’s tokenomics are central to its ecosystem, facilitating a novel attention-based economy. It represents a significant effort to establish a more ethical and efficient model for digital advertising within the burgeoning Web3 infrastructure, making the advertising experience less intrusive and more rewarding for all participants.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is the GBP to BAT trading pair and what does it represent?

    The GBP/BAT pair allows you to directly purchase Basic Attention Token (BAT), an ERC-20 token, using British Pounds (GBP). It represents a direct fiat on-ramp into the BAT ecosystem, which powers the privacy-focused Brave browser's digital advertising platform. This allows UK users to acquire the digital asset used for Brave Rewards and tipping content creators without first converting GBP to another cryptocurrency.

  • How does BAT's utility in the Brave browser ecosystem add value for GBP investors?

    For GBP investors, BAT's value is intrinsically linked to its utility within the Brave browser's digital advertising model. Users earn BAT through Brave Rewards for viewing privacy-respecting ads, and they can use this digital asset to tip verified content creators and publishers. This creates a functional, circular economy based on user attention, offering a clear use case beyond simple speculation, which is a key consideration for those converting Pound Sterling into crypto assets.

  • As an ERC-20 token, how does the Ethereum network impact GBP to BAT transactions?

    While the initial purchase of BAT with GBP happens on a centralized exchange, withdrawing your BAT to a personal digital wallet involves a blockchain transaction on the Ethereum network. This means you will incur a network fee, known as a 'gas fee', paid in ETH. These fees can fluctuate based on network congestion. Therefore, it's wise to consider the current gas fee when planning to move your BAT, as it's an additional cost to the transaction.

  • What are the most common payment methods to buy BAT with GBP in the UK?

    In the UK, the most prevalent methods for purchasing BAT with Pound Sterling on a cryptocurrency exchange include UK bank transfers via the Faster Payments Service (FPS), which are often instant and low-cost. Debit card purchases are also widely supported. Most FCA-registered exchanges require KYC/AML compliance, so be prepared to verify your identity before conducting a secure transaction.

  • What security measures are crucial when trading GBP for BAT and storing the tokens?

    When executing a GBP to BAT trade, always use a reputable cryptocurrency exchange that is regulated in the UK. Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on your account for added security. After purchasing, it is best practice to move your BAT off the exchange and into a secure digital wallet where you control the private keys. Since BAT is an ERC-20 token, it is compatible with numerous hardware wallets (like Ledger or Trezor) and software wallets (like MetaMask), which offer greater protection for your digital asset.

  • Where can I find reliable GBP/BAT price data and trading volume information?

    Reliable price data, live charts, and trading volume for the GBP/BAT pair can be found on major cryptocurrency exchanges that list this specific fiat-to-crypto pair. These platforms provide access to the live order book, which shows buy and sell orders, helping you gauge market depth and liquidity. Additionally, reputable crypto data aggregators also compile and display this information from various sources, offering a comprehensive market overview.
