Brave-Browser integrates decentralized Solana applications



The Internet browser Brave and Solana Labs are entering into a partnership that will support decentralized applications on the Solana blockchain in the future.

Brave, a data protection-oriented Internet browser, will support decentralized Solana applications (dApps) in the near future so that these can be executed natively in the browser. So far, the browser only supported Ethereum and the Binance Smart Chain. The associated cryptocurrencies ETH and Binance Coin (BNB) are, besides Bitcoin, the only digital assets that are more valuable than Solana (SOL) in terms of market capitalization.

"A result of demand"

The company behind the browser announced the partnership between Brave and Solana in an official blog entryBrave particularly emphasized the practical use of the blockchain. With the proof-of-history method, which is based on the proof-of-stake mechanism, up to 50,000 transactions per second should be possible. The cost per transaction is very low with a fee of $ 0.001 to $ 0.002.

Solana is the fastest-growing ecosystem, so the integration of Solana into the Brave browser is a direct result of demand from users and developers, according to the entry on the website. "As more and more users and developer tools need fast and affordable access to the decentralized web, this integration will seamlessly pave the way for the next billion crypto users to use applications and tokens," said Brendan Eich, CEO, and co-founder of Brave quoted. 

Solana's rise to the top four

As a potential “Ethereum killer”, Solana has had an incredible rally since the beginning of August. Since then, the price of the cryptocurrency had risen from around $ 35 to as much as $ 260. SOL is currently quoted at around $ 248 and has been able to leave projects such as Cardano, Ripple, and Polkadot (DOT) behind due to the sharp rise in the share price. With a market capitalization of around $ 75 billion, SOL is the fourth most valuable cryptocurrency on the market.

The fact that the Solana blockchain even paused for 16 hours on September 14, an absolute worst-case scenario for any blockchain project, had no long-term consequences. Also driven by the NFT hype, the price increase at Solana does not seem to end. The Solana price forecast from "Bluntz" has been making the rounds on Twitter for a few weeks: According to him, the goal is 900 US dollars. That would bring Solana's market capitalization to around $ 270 billion.

From offchain to offchain: Statechains meets Lightning

  Without a doubt, the most significant off-chain Bitcoin solution is the Lightning network. But in its wake, the statechain has emerged as an intriguing replacement. There is currently a proposal to link the two offchain networks. From an ocean, for example, you can see sunbeams glistening in the water, waves rippling, and possibly a jellyfish drifting toward the light. But you only see a small portion of it. The distance from the sea's surface to its bottom is hundreds of meters. It has dozens of different fish species swimming in it, crabs and starfish crawling on the bottom, shells clinging to rocks, and sea plants climbing up. A completely new world starts where your gaze diverges. You can picture a blockchain like Bitcoin, just like the sea. What you see on the outside is only a small portion of what is actually there; the set of UTXOs (coins) and transaction history that full nodes store are just the beginning of a much larger world. It's the plan, at least. With Bitcoin...

Phishing attack on popular crypto sites tries to empty wallets

  Several major crypto sites such as Etherscan, CoinGecko, DeFi Pulse, and others report malicious pop-ups scammers use to try to trick users into connecting their MetaMask wallets. The phishing attack came from a domain displaying the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) logo. "We are investigating the root cause of this attack to fix the threat as soon as possible," CoinGecko founder Bobby Ong tweeted. The phishing attack appears to have been triggered by a malicious ad script from Coinzilla, a crypto ad network, according to CoinGecko. Etherscan also advises its users not to confirm any transactions that may appear on the website. The attackers attempted to use the hype around the “bored monkeys” non-fungible tokens (NFT) to gain access to the cryptocurrencies of unsuspecting website visitors. Although the websites affected by the scam attempt have reacted in the last few hours and deactivated the advertising pop-up, it is still recommended not to connect your MetaMask wallet to ne...

Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs stolen through phishing on Instagram

  Bored Ape Yacht Club ( BAYC ) developers announced on Monday that hackers have hijacked the official Instagram page of the popular NFT collection and posted links to a fake airdrop. Crypto enthusiasts who connected their MetaMask wallet to the rogue website subsequently had their Ape NFTs stolen. Apparently, the attack was planned to coincide with the one-year anniversary of the BAYC collection. This increased the "perceived credibility" of the phishing link. About 100 NFTs are said to have been stolen in the phishing attack . According to CoinGecko data , the minimum price for a BAYC NFT is 139 Ether ( ETH ) or $400,726. So if reports are correct, over $40 million worth of NFTs were stolen in the attack. These numbers are only the lowest estimate, however, as they are based on the lowest price.  At the time of writing, it was still unclear how the hackers gained access to BAYC's official Instagram account. Social media users have pointed out the importance of two-fact...
