- Brave has unveiled a new feature of its video calling product Brave Talk.ย
- The new feature uses Non-Fungibleย Tokenย (NFTs) to control access to calls.ย
- Brave Talk intendsย to change live events and video calls.ย
Projects are still finding new and exciting use cases for Non-Fungibleย Tokenย (NFTs), pushing the boundaries of whatโs possible in the digital realm with these assets. This time, Brave, a privacy-focused Webย 3.0 browser, is at the forefront of a revolution, introducing a new appย for NFTs: Token-gated Video calls.ย
Brave looks to shake up the video calling and live event industry by integrating Non-Fungibleย Tokenย (NFTs) into the fabric of video calls and redefining how users engage online.ย
Unveiling Brave Talk
Trending Webย 3.0 browser Brave has unveiled a new token-gating feature for its video calling product, Brave Talk. The new Webย 3.0 feature enables call hosts to use Non-Fungibleย Tokenย (NFTs) and Proof of Attendance Protocol Non-Fungibleย Tokenย (NFTs) (POAPs) toย delimit access, configure avatars, assign moderator permissions, and more.ย
With this feature, Brave ushers in a new era of video calling and live events by creating the worldโs first-ever fully integrated Webย 3.0 live event platform that seamlessly integrates browser, wallet, and video capabilities.ย
Braveโs Webย 3.0 calling feature introduces a new level of functionality and security regarding user authentication and authorization by leveraging token-gated access. Onย theย otherย sideย , video-calling solutions like Zoom and Google Meet still rely on passwords to control access. Brave Talk mimics real-life ticket-gated entry through the new feature using Non-Fungibleย Tokenย (NFTs) as tickets.ย
Token-gating is a wholeย lotย of achievement for Brave Talk. Communities and projects can now hold members-only events for cryptoย token holders, reward loyal fans, establish Non-Fungibleย Tokenย (NFT) auctions, and more.ย
Despiteย theย factย that the feature is only compatible with Ethereum-based Non-Fungibleย Tokenย (NFTs), inย particularย ERC-721 Non-Fungibleย Tokenย (NFTs), the possibilities are endless, all thanks to the Token-gating mechanism.ย
What is Token-gating?ย
Token-gating is one of the primary ways users can control access in Webย 3.0, and it comprises two parts: authentication and authorization.ย
In the authentication phase, usersโ wallet addresses are verified using the SIWE (Sign-In with Ethereum) protocol for Webย 3.0 authentication. The system sends a message to the wallet address. Users sign the message using their address and return it to the sender for verification.ย
In the authorization phase, the token-gating system checks usersโ wallets if it passes the requirements. The requirement can be having a certain Non-Fungibleย Tokenย (NFT), cryptoย token, or membership toย participateย inย the call.ย
Braveโs new Webย 3.0 calling feature will shake up video calling and live events because itโs very simple to use given that most Webย 3.0 protocols are relatively tricky to use asย aย resultย of their UI.
How to Use Braveโs New Webย 3.0 Calling Feature
Note that only users with a Premium Talk subscription can access the new feature. Once youโre subscribed to Premium Talk, hereโs how you can access Braveโs new Webย 3.0 calling feature. ย
- Open the Brave Browser.ย
- Click Host a Webย 3.0 Call.ย
- Authenticate your identity using your Webย 3.0 wallet.
- Once verified, you can choose an Non-Fungibleย Tokenย (NFT) as an avatar and specify who gets toย joinย the call.ย
Brave Talkโs new feature isย still very experimental. The privacy browser has shared that it intendsย to use feedback from current usersโ experiences to optimize future versions. Brave has numerous features lined up for the future, which could roll out thereafter this year.ย
Whatโs Next for Webย 3.0 Brave Talk?ย
Despiteย theย factย that NFT-gated Brave Talk is only open to premium users, the browser company has shared that it intendsย to open the feature to all users. Brave added that itโs asย ofย now testing features like support for non- Ethereumย (ETH) Non-Fungibleย Tokenย (NFTs), token-gating for owners of a particular cryptoย token, token-gating accordingย to past ownership, and sending digitalย currencies to participants.ย
