Most of that is in the future, though.
“We’re getting to the point where we’re giving users BAT all the time.
We don’t think we’ll run out.
We think users should get it,” CEO and former Firefox leader Brendan Eich said.
“We’re going to do it continually.”
The startup hopes to initiate the BAT spigot in the second quarter, he added.
That’s the source of the supply Brave plans to release to Brave users.
Today, more than 12,000 publishers have verified themselves for BAT payments, the company said.
Brave plans two ways of showing ads.
The second will show ads on publisher’s sites in partnership with the publishers themselves.
There, the publisher collects 70 percent of the ad revenue, but you get 15 percent.
Brave, too, takes a portion of the ad revenue in both cases.
“We take no more than the user and always give the user a cut,” Eich said.
