What happens when you strap the BRAVE lion into the front seat of the play-to-earn rocketship that is Gala Games and initiate the ignition sequence?

Brave and Gala Games have been building their partnership for several months with offerings such as the ability for players to hold Basic Attention Token in their Gala Games accounts and the physical NFT Minotaur King crystal sculpture that was sold in the Brave Swag Store near the end of last year. Now these two key players are teaming up yet again, and this time they are honored to bring the growing Gala ecosystem the most exciting collaborative Town Star tournament event to date: The BAT Tournament.

Today, Brave and Gala are here to officially announce the week-long tournament event. Beginning on March 16th, contestants who hold the required amount of BAT in their Gala Games accounts will spend exactly seven days building the town of their dreams in a dedicated Brave Townstar server. At the end of the event, the total prize pool of $5000 will be divided among the players with the most successful builds according to the payout structure below. The BAT Tournament’s prizes will be paid out in BAT, directly to the Gala Games accounts of the winners.

$5000 Prize Pool!
1st Place — $1000 BAT
2nd Place — $800 BAT
3rd Place — $500 BAT
4th Place — $400 BAT
5th Place — $300 BAT
6th-10th Places — $200 BAT
11th-20th Places — $100 BAT

To Be Eligible to win this massive tournament event, not only must you be Brave, but you must hold at least 20 Basic Attention Tokens in your Gala Games account. This means that if you have accumulated BAT by using the Brave browser and are currently holding them in the Uphold wallet, you will need to transfer them to the Ethereum-based Gala Games account to be eligible for prizes.

About Brave

Brave Software’s fast, privacy-oriented browser, combined with its blockchain-based digital advertising platform, is reinventing the Web for users, publishers, and advertisers. Users get a private, speedier web experience with much longer battery life, publishers increase their revenue share, and advertisers achieve better conversion. Users can opt into privacy-respecting ads that reward them with BAT (Basic Attention Token), a frequent flyer-like token they can redeem or use to tip or contribute to publishers and other content creators. The Brave solution is a win-win for everyone who has a stake in the open Web and who is weary of giving up privacy and revenue to the ad-tech intermediaries. Brave currently has over 25.4 million monthly active users and over 1 million Verified Publishers. Brave Software was co-founded by Brendan Eich, creator of JavaScript and co-founder of Mozilla (Firefox), and Brian Bondy, formerly of Khan Academy and Mozilla.
