Wikipedia verified as Brave publisher as browser's market share grows

gepubliceerd op by Cryptoslate | gepubliceerd op

Wikipedia, the 7th most visited website in the world, is the latest website to join Brave Browser as a verified publisher.

Brave is revolutionizing the online advertising industry with the use of its native cryptocurrency, the Basic Attention Token.

According to BATGrowth, the latest major website to become a Brave Verified publisher is Wikipedia.

Wikipedia is by far the most popular website to become a Brave publisher.

With an Alexa rank of 7, it is unrivaled among Brave's verified publishers.

Among Brave's verified publishers, Wikipedia is followed closely by adult website Xhamster, video sharing platforms Aparat and Vimeo, as well as The Guardian, a British daily newspaper, which hold Alexa ranks of 58, 94, 127, and 136, respectively.

Having such a high-traffic website become a Brave publisher could bring more adoption to the company's rewards program.

Wikipedia is also a perfect guinea pig to test whether Brave rewards could act as a significant source of income for a publisher.

Despite the fact that previous research by CryptoSlate found that Brave rewards still have a long way to go before they become a viable alternative to online ad revenue, the BAT income could be a significant revenue stream for Wikipedia.

As of press time, Wikipedia and the Wikimedia Foundation have not issued a comment on joining the Brave network.
