Brave Software, which focuses on developing privacy-focused web browsers and Web3 products, recently announced a strategic partnership with Input | Output (IO), a Web3 infrastructure and research company. The two parties will jointly integrate the Cardano blockchain into the Brave Wallet, allowing users to directly access and manage assets on the Cardano blockchain, further promoting the development of privacy protection and decentralized ecosystems.
Brave Wallet Integration with Cardano: Prioritizing Privacy and Functionality
According to the announcement, this integration will bring comprehensive Cardano support to the Brave Wallet, including management of Cardano native assets, as well as sending, receiving, exchanging, and signing functions, all natively embedded in Brave's browser wallet.
Through this integration, Brave users and the broader Cardano community will be able to directly access the Cardano blockchain within the Brave Wallet, engaging in activities such as governance participation and native asset management:
This significant milestone further enhances Brave's multi-chain capabilities, adding Cardano to its existing support for networks like Ethereum and Solana.
Cardano users can now manage native assets like NIGHT through the built-in Brave browser wallet, participate in governance, and exchange tokens securely and privately. This not only enhances the utility of the Brave Wallet but also provides Cardano community members with a more convenient participation channel.
Commenting on this, IO CEO Charles Hoskinson stated: "Our collaboration with Brave is a match made in heaven. We share a vision of a more secure, accessible, and user-respecting Web3. Bringing Cardano into the Brave Wallet not only expands functionality for Cardano users in the era of on-chain governance but also drives a new standard for how blockchain networks can empower individuals, protecting privacy while enabling active on-chain participation."
