What is Basic Attention Token?
Basic Attention Token is a cryptocurrency created by Brave Software, the company behind the privacy-focused Brave browser, whose co-founder Brendan Eich also created JavaScript and helped start Mozilla Firefox. Launched in 2017, BAT set out to fix some of the inefficiencies in digital advertising by building a more transparent, privacy-minded system for users, publishers and advertisers.
BAT is an ERC-20 token that runs on the Ethereum blockchain and powers the Brave ecosystem. Inside the browser, people can earn BAT for choosing to view privacy-respecting ads and can tip the creators and publishers they like. The token ties attention to value directly, cutting out middlemen that would normally take much of the advertising revenue.
With millions of people using the Brave browser, BAT has an active role rather than sitting idle. Its uses include rewarding attention, tipping creators, and supporting publishers, all handled through the browser's built-in wallet.

FAQ
Buying Basic Attention Token: FAQs
What is the minimum amount of Basic Attention Token I can buy?
You do not need to buy a whole coin to start. Digital Surge lets you spend a small amount of AUD and receive the matching amount of BAT, so you can begin with a figure that suits your budget rather than a set number of tokens.
How quickly can I buy Basic Attention Token?
Most people are ready in minutes. Identity checks usually clear quickly, and AUD deposits made with PayID often arrive in under a minute, so a verified and funded account can buy BAT at the live price almost straight away after signing up.
Can I sell Basic Attention Token back to AUD?
Yes. You can sell your BAT on Digital Surge whenever you like and receive AUD, then withdraw those Australian dollars to your linked bank account. There is no lock-in, so selling part or all of your holding is entirely up to you.
What is BAT used for in the Brave browser?
BAT is the native token of the Brave browser ecosystem. People can earn it by opting into privacy-respecting ads, use it to tip content creators, and support publishers directly, all through the wallet that is built into the Brave browser itself.
What makes Basic Attention Token different?
BAT is aimed squarely at digital advertising and has a working use inside the Brave browser, which millions of people already run. That gives it a practical role today, from rewarding attention to tipping creators, rather than only a planned use somewhere down the track.
