“The Brave Wallet requires no extensions and is instead browser-native, removing key performance and security concerns while preserving the core features of popular crypto wallets. One of the hurdles is the crypto wallet industry’s reliance on extensions, which introduces friction for DApp adoption and often leads to users losing funds via fake extension phishing scams,” said Brian Bondy, CTO and co-founder of Brave. “The crypto boom has vaulted blockchain applications into the mainstream, but like any rapidly-growing innovation, this swift rise is not without challenges.

For the first time, all Brave users will have access to Web3 decentralized applications (DApps) without installing browser extensions. Users of Brave can continue to use other wallets if they prefer, such as MetaMask or Brave’s legacy wallet named Crypto Wallets.

The Brave Wallet allows users to connect with hardware wallets like Trezor & Ledger. The Brave Wallet is a self-custody wallet that is built into the leading secure Web3 Brave browser. These extensions have inherent security risks, are more susceptible to phishing and asset theft, and require extra background processes to run, creating performance issues on users’ devices. While countless crypto wallet options exist (hot ones and cold ones, hardware ones and software ones), most are browser extensions.
