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 most common way to buy Basic Attention Token (BAT) with South African Rand (ZAR)?

    The most common method is through a cryptocurrency exchange that supports ZAR deposits. South African users typically use a local fiat on-ramp to deposit ZAR via Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) or bank transfer. Once the ZAR is in your exchange account, you can place an order on the ZAR/BAT trading pair, allowing you to acquire this ERC-20 utility token used in the Brave browser ecosystem.

  • Are there specific South African compliance rules, like FICA, for ZAR to BAT transactions?

    Yes. Any reputable cryptocurrency exchange offering ZAR fiat on-ramps is required to comply with South African regulations, including the Financial Intelligence Centre Act (FICA). This means you will need to complete a Know Your Customer (KYC) process, which involves verifying your identity and address. This KYC/AML compliance is a standard security measure for secure trading and preventing illicit activities.

  • What kind of fees are involved in a ZAR to BAT blockchain transaction?

    There are typically two main fees. First, the cryptocurrency exchange will charge a trading fee (maker or taker fee) for executing the trade on its order book. Second, when you withdraw your BAT to an external digital wallet, you will pay a blockchain transaction fee. Since BAT is an ERC-20 token, this is an Ethereum network 'gas fee', paid in ETH, which can fluctuate based on network congestion.

  • What specific utility does BAT provide within the Brave browser's digital advertising model?

    Basic Attention Token (BAT) is the core of Brave's privacy-focused advertising ecosystem. Users who opt into Brave Rewards can earn BAT for viewing privacy-respecting ads. They can then use this BAT to support content creators and publishers through automated micropayments or tips. This system rewards user attention directly, creating a more equitable digital advertising economy without compromising user data.

  • How should I store my Basic Attention Token securely after a ZAR purchase?

    After acquiring BAT, it's crucial to move it to a secure digital wallet where you control the private keys. For BAT earned through Brave Rewards, the integrated Uphold wallet is a common option. However, for purchased BAT, you can use any ERC-20 compatible wallet, such as a hardware wallet for maximum security or a reputable software wallet. Avoid leaving large amounts of digital assets on an exchange long-term.

  • Why would a South African user choose the ZAR/BAT pair over a USD/BAT pair?

    Using the ZAR/BAT pair provides a direct fiat gateway, avoiding currency conversion fees from ZAR to USD before purchasing the digital asset. It simplifies the process by allowing deposits via local South African payment methods like EFT. This direct on-ramp often results in lower overall costs and a more streamlined user experience for those wishing to enter the Brave browser's attention-based economy.
