Brave releases BAT roadmap 4.0, launching a new unified wallet and stablecoin payment protocol
ChainCatcher news, according to the official blog, Brave officially released the Basic Attention Token (BAT) Roadmap 4.0 on July 9. This update aims to address new challenges brought by artificial intelligence and the cashless economy, fully integrating BAT, Brave Rewards, and Brave Creators into a transactional attention economy. Key initiatives in the roadmap include the launch of a new unified Brave Wallet that integrates traditional payment methods with self-custodied crypto assets, as well as the development of BravePay, a privacy-focused payment protocol layer based on stablecoins, providing foundational support for browser-integrated autonomous agent payment features such as x402 and the Machine Payment Protocol (MPP).
In addition, the roadmap outlines several new products to expand the ecosystem's boundaries. Brave plans to launch Brave Rewards virtual and physical payment cards that support daily spending and return BAT rewards, while also developing an all-new creator compensation protocol to ensure that creators receive micro-royalty payments when their content is utilized by AI products. In terms of tokenomics, a portion of the net revenue generated from Brave Wallet's monetization features, the payment cards, and the BravePay protocol will be used to buy back BAT, supporting user rewards and ecosystem growth. With the rollout of these new features, Brave will gradually phase out traditional ad notification units by the end of 2026 and fully shift the user reward mechanism to personalized offer walls and a new loyalty program.

SpaceX to acquire nationwide 800MHz spectrum portfolio pending FCC approval
SpaceX (SPCX.US) announced on Thursday that it has reached an agreement to acquire a portfolio of low-frequency spectrum licenses covering the entire United States, enabling it to directly compete with traditional wireless communication giants nationwide. While Starlink Mobile’s existing global 2 GHz mid-band spectrum will provide high bandwidth capacity, this new spectrum will allow its signals to penetrate obstacles. This move accelerates Elon Musk’s ambitious plan to bypass traditional wireless infrastructure and deliver cellular network connectivity directly to smartphones from Earth’s orbit. The deal involves acquiring 100% of a nationwide 800 MHz spectrum portfolio owned by private equity firm Grain Management, and is still subject to regulatory approval by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). In addition, the FCC this week approved Starlink Mobile’s application for a second-generation satellite constellation, authorizing SpaceX to deploy 15,000 satellites worldwide optimized for the 2 GHz band. Following the announcement, shares of US telecom companies fell in after-hours trading, while SpaceX (SPCX.US) shares rose by over 1.7%.
