The Brave browser’s wallet, Brave Wallet, will soon receive integration with the Cardano ecosystem, following a partnership with Input | Output (IO), announced last Monday (12).
Thus, the new partnership will allow access to the Cardano blockchain and the management of tokens from the browser’s wallet. Considered one of the internet’s privacy browsers, it counts cryptocurrency fans among its users, who earn rewards in Basic Attention Token (BAT) for consuming ads.
“Our partnership with IO reflects Brave’s commitment to building a Web3 that maximizes interoperability for user choice, while offering better tools to interact with decentralized ecosystems,” said Brendan Eich, CEO and co-founder of Brave and the Basic Attention Token (BAT). “Integrating Cardano into Brave Wallet not only expands multichain access, but also enhances security, governance participation, and the overall user experience.”
“It’s a natural partnership,” says Charles Hoskinson, co-founder of Ethereum and Cardano
Through the note released to the market to which the report obtained access, the new integration shows that Brave users and the Cardano community gain new functions. Among them, asset management, execution of swaps with native Cardano tokens, in addition to onchain transactions.
Thus, Brave Wallet expands support for Web3 ecosystems, which already had integration with Ethereum and Solana, with the arrival of Cardano.
The wallet also claims to have a focus on privacy and security, even though it is a “hotwallet” associated with the browser.
“This collaboration with Brave is a natural match,” said Charles Hoskinson, CEO of IO. “We share a vision of a safer, more accessible Web3 that respects the user. By bringing Cardano to Brave Wallet, we are not only expanding functionality for Cardano users in the era of on-chain governance, but also promoting a new standard for how blockchain networks should empower individuals — protecting privacy while enabling active on-chain participation.”
For the future, the partnership is still preparing other innovations around the governance of Cardano and Midnight. The latter is a blockchain developed by Shielded Technologies, a company that separated from IO to focus on the development of confidential smart contracts and data protection.
Considered the number 9 cryptocurrency in market cap this Tuesday (13), ADA remains quoted at R$ 4.50, accumulating a high of 25% in the last 30 days.
