Brave's Confidential Web Browser has Added Support for BTC
The built-in Brave Wallet supports receiving and sending funds from all types of Bitcoin addresses
The privacy-oriented Brave web browser with an audience of over 60 million users has added support for bitcoin in its own built-in wallet. The update to desktop version 1.63 adds the ability to create Native SegWit bitcoin accounts, which offer lower transaction fees and better error detection compared to other account types.
In the updated version, Brave Wallet also supports receiving and sending funds from all types of bitcoin addresses, including Legacy, Nested SegWit, Native SegWit and Taproot, ensuring compatibility with third-party wallets.
The browser team plans to implement additional privacy features in Brave Wallet in partnership with Zcash and the Filecoin Foundation, as well as provide users with the ability to store BRC-20 and Ordinals tokens. These features are expected to be available in all desktop and mobile versions of the browser later this year.
Brave Wallet allows browser users to store, exchange and manage their crypto assets in multiple blockchains from a single wallet. Unlike most cryptocurrencies, it is built into the browser and does not require any additional downloads or installation of extensions, helping to increase security and convenience in working with Web 3.0 tools.
To work with BTC, you need to open Brave Wallet on a Mac, Windows or Linux device, select "expanded" in the upper-right corner of the panel, then "Create account" and select "Bitcoin".
The Brave team notes that bitcoin has stood the test of time since its inception almost 15 years ago and has established itself as a sustainable asset class, and its institutional adoption is growing after the approval of spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the United States. As a result, bitcoin has new use cases besides making peer-to-peer payments.: The asset has become a means of preserving value thanks to a new wave of innovation led by the sectors of decentralized finance (DeFi) and non-interchangeable tokens (NFT).
