Solana Partners With Software Giant Brave

The recent transfer of SOL tokens comes at a time when Solana has secured a strategic partnership with software giant, Brave. This collaboration will bring Solana’s decentralized application (DApp) support to the iPhone Operating System (iOS) and Android versions of Brave browser.

The announcementt highlights that Brave users can now access Solana DApps through the integrated crypto wallet within the Brave browser, without the need to switch to a different platform.

Amelia Daly, the Head of Partnerships at Solana Foundation, emphasizes the significance of this new integration, stating that it provides users with a seamless browser-based connection to Solana programs. “Enhancements in user experience and mobile integration are key factors in attracting new users,” noted Daly.

Additionally, Brendan Eich, CEO and co-founder of Brave, stated, “Brave is quickly becoming the preferred browser for the Web3 community, and with the addition of Solana DApp support on mobile, we are extending that reach to another crucial demographic seeking convenient and efficient methods of using their cryptocurrency while on the move.”

It is worth mentioning that Brave announced its intention to partner with Solana in November 2021, without disclosing the specifics of the planned integration at that time.
