Blockchain has the potential to solve major problems in digital advertising by creating a decentralized system using cryptography and smart contracts. Brave Browser uses the Basic Attention Token (BAT) to connect advertisers directly with publishers and users, eliminating ad fraud. BAT allows users to earn tokens for viewing ads, which are then spent supporting publishers. This shifts power from intermediaries to users and publishers. While blockchain offers benefits like transparency, security, and decentralization, challenges remain around network speed, complexity, and immutability of the technology.
