Brave, a privacy browser has gained a lot of traction and mainstream use where it tips the user in native token $BAT for using the platform. Brave is also planning to pre-configure a BSC wallet support which is currently available through a configuration change. The partnership between Brave and BSC comes at a crucial juncture for both the blockchains, where BSC has grown in popularity and use while $BAT was recently added by Grayscale Trust.

BSC’s Growing Ecosystem Add Another Token to its List

BSC ecosystem has grown significantly over the past couple of months owing to growing gas fees on the Ethereum network. At the peak of the mounting gas fee issue, BSC was processing on average 2X volume of the Ethereum network. This was possible because many traders and Defi protocols either added BSC integration or shifted to the platform.

According to the @DappRadar February report

✅More than 108,000 unique active address on #BSC
✅BSC transaction volume surpassed $700 billionhttps://t.co/Nf9HmrZsXI

Many proclaimed BSC as the new Ethereum killer as it offers similar services at a fraction of the current transaction fee on the Ethereum network. However, Ethereum proponents have pointed towards the centralized nature of Binance’s native chain which is one of the key reasons behind the increasing number of rug pulls and exit scams.
