The feature to earn BAT through the Brave Browser is getting near completion. A screenshot of the Brave Ads Trial Program that originated from github is circulating the Basic Attention Token community right now.

BRAVE ADS

The Brave Browser, which is the browser being designed to work with the Basic Attention Token, is a popular browser because not only does it operate a lot faster than most other browsers, it promises users the ability to _earn_ Basic Attention Tokens through surfing the web as well as _spend_ them on their favorite content creators.
The current online advertisement industry is plagued with middlemen and fraudulent bots, causing as much as 70% of the advertising money that goes in to disappear to all the various parties that take a cut. Brave and the Basic Attention Token seek to disrupt this industry by connecting advertisers with users themselves. They do this by creating an economy where advertisers pay for advertisements in BAT, and users who view these advertisements are in turn rewarded with as much as 70% of the revenue in BAT as a reward for their attention. Since everybody likes earning 'free'cryptocurrency passively by browsing the web, something which they do anyway, the Basic Attention Token project is rather popular. The Brave Browser has many features implemented already like the wallet and the ability to spend BAT on content creators on various platforms (they airdrop free BAT tokens which you can spend, for this purpose). The Brave Ads, the feature which lets users actually _earn_ is not live yet but from the looks of it, it will be soon!

TRIAL PROGRAM

Brendan Eich commented on Twitter two days ago that the Brave Ads Trial Program is coming up very soon: according to his tweet the first users could be earning BAT as soon as next week! ![brave ads trial.png](https://ipfs.busy.org/ipfs/QmZsZXZoqvuHSQz3RE5QDM42aDzu576wyHULVaYzXDdGUc) source: [Twitter](https://twitter.com/brendaneich/status/1007412167811854336?s=21) Furthermore, some Reddit users managed to discover the picture below on Github, which is obviously some kind of welcome screen of some kind: ![brave ads.png](https://ipfs.busy.org/ipfs/QmcVp74YaxrRGiQiBgbHdaKSKj6HdmLLh25oxv7oXTpgWk) Since Brave Ads is the single most anticipated feature of the project, and one that is expected to possibly cause mainstream adoption of cryptocurrencies, it's no surprise that the token is currently undergoing a price spike in advance of the trial.

I myself am one of those who are anxiously waiting for new ways to earn more cryptocurrency, and I have been happily using the Brave browser for the past 8 months. If you haven't tried it out yet, you should!
