Basic Attention Token or BAT currency was founded by Brendan Each, co-founder Mozilla and Firefox. It was developed to improve the efficiency and security of digital advertising using Blockchain technology, making it easy for people to optimise their website. The technology allowed them to solve old problems related to web-based advertising and web browsing. Built on Ethereum, it is the native token currency used on Brave Web Browser. 

But primarily it has become a digital currency used by people to efficiently distribute the advertising money between advertisers, publishers, and readers for online ads and other marketing content. Here is how you can earn BAT money.
