Brave said Thursday that nearly 340,000 verified creators have <a href="https://batgrowth.com/">signed up</a> to receive its built-in token payments. “This is a 12x increase from the 28,000 who had verified at the beginning of 2019,” it added.</p> <p>Founded in 2015 by Mozilla co-founder Brendan Eich, Brave is expected to unveil some more features in the future.
