Privacy-first browser, Brave has unveiled its desktop browser version 1.39, which comes with Solana integration in a bid to improve Web 3 access for s. Before the announcement, Brave Browser had a linked wallet and a robust suite of tools for both novices and experts. Adding for Solana means that s will now be able to enjoy lower fees and faster transactions. Brave s Opera, which made a similar move when it integrated with Solana, Polygon, StarkEx, and other blockchain ecosystems in March.

The plans for the integration were first shared in November 2021. Using desktop version 1.39, Brave Wallet s can transact SOL and SPL tokens directly from their Brave Wallet. Also, they will be able to purchase other cryptocurrencies with fiat through its integration with Ramp. To crown it all, the platform's native token, Basic Attention Token (BAT) has also been transmuted into an SPL token.
