Setup and Use Brave Browser Wallet for Cryptos

Brave rewards its users with the cryptocurrency BAT for using the browser. These cryptos are received in the built-in Brave Wallet without any extension.

The Brave Wallet is securely created and even used for swapping, sending, and receiving crypto and NFTs from third-party wallets.

What is Brave Wallet?

The Brave Wallet is the Brave browser’s cryptocurrency wallet. It is the first crypto wallet incorporated directly into the browser. No extensions are needed to use the in-built Wallet.

It requires no additional programs to run and consumes less CPU and memory on your device.

Brave Wallet enables users to build, manage, and store their portfolios from a single wallet that supports multi-chain and NFT. It also supports Ledger and Trezor. Thanks to its CoinGecko integration, it offers users live market data.

The Wallet also helps in storing the Brave Rewards received for using the Brave browser.
