Brave browser CEO Brendan Eich and Solana founder Anatoly Yakovenko announced a partnership under which the privacy-focused browser will integrate Solana blockchain support.
The announcement was made at the Breakpoint conference by Solana. Developers plan to implement the new features for both mobile and desktop Brave in the first half of 2022.
“For billions of people, mobile internet will be their gateway to Web3. Deep browser integration is the key to helping dapps create better web services,” Yakovenko said.
He called the rollout a “significant step toward connecting the next billion users to Solana.” According to a press release, the collaboration is a direct result of demand from customers and developers.
The integration will allow users to create accounts, perform cross-chain swaps via the Solana DEX aggregator, send SPL-tokens, and will also include support for NFT.
On November 5, the price Solana (SOL) reached an all-time high at $250. The asset edged out Tether (USDT) in market-cap rankings, taking fourth place.
As of writing, SOL trades at around $246. Over the last 24 hours the coin has fallen 2.4%, according to CoinGecko.
In January, Brave integrated support for the IPFS protocol (‘interplanetary file system’). In February, the crypto browser’s marketplace was expanded with NFTs.
In March, Brave announced support for the Binance Smart Chain ecosystem.
