Yet, the crypto industry has expanded dramatically since the launch of Bitcoin. With Ethereum offering a ready-to-use tool for creating new blockchain projects, new cryptocurrencies are emerging at an impressive rate. Although Bitcoin continues to lead in terms of market cap and user base, there are over 16,000 other digital assets circulating in crypto markets. It has become difficult to choose one with valuable features and promising performance.

Basic Attention Token (BAT)
The BAT token was created by Brendan Eich, inventor of the JavaScript programming language and co-founder of the Mozilla browser. The project sees its main goal as facilitating digital advertising while maintaining user privacy.
Basic Attention Token is part of the privacy-focused Internet. Its web browser, called Brave, is an open-source platform that blocks third-party advertisers and trackers. At the same time, Brave rewards users for viewing ads from approved publishers. As of January 5, 2022, the browser had 50.2 million monthly active users, 15.5 million daily active users, and 1.3 million verified creators.
In the BitBoy Crypto blog, Ben Armstrong claims that BAT showed impressive token performance in 2021 and has the potential to keep up the rising trend.
