Basic Attention Token (BAT) is an open-source, decentralized advertising platform built on the Ethereum blockchain. It conducted an initial coin offering on May 31, 2017, raising approximately $35 million within a short time. BAT aims to enhance digital advertising by facilitating transactions between advertisers and website publishers for user attention. The token incorporates attention measurement systems, analytics dashboards, and machine learning algorithms, with a focus on user data privacy by performing ad targeting locally, without third-party tracking.
The project was founded in 2016 by Brendan Eich, the co-founder of Mozilla and creator of JavaScript, along with other notable team members including Brian Bondy and Scott Locklin. BAT is primarily integrated with the Brave browser, which is designed to block trackers and malware while rewarding users for their attention. The platform works to ensure that user data remains anonymous and private, as personal tracking information is only stored on the user's device.
Risk Report
Cryptocurrency carries risk. Every project listed on this site, regardless of its score, operates in a volatile and largely unregulated market. Tokens can lose most or all of their value. A high score reflects lower structural risk based on the data we can measure. It does not mean a project is safe, that the price will hold, or that losses are unlikely. Always research independently and never commit money you cannot afford to lose.
Liquidity and market dynamics score 89 out of 100. Trading appears well-supported by on-exchange activity, with volume-to-market-cap at 9.07% and liquidity depth corresponding to about $14,272,965 in 24h volume. Exchange listing data is strong, with activity across 81 exchanges (33 green, 40 yellow, 5 red), which generally improves exit liquidity and reduces reliance on a single venue.
Team credibility score 80 out of 100. The asset is older than most, at 5.2 years, and public records indicate the team is publicly identified. Security analysis references 1 audit firm on record, and engineering signals are present from public development activity (162 commits over 4 weeks and 65 stars). The deployer address is recorded, and the whitepaper is rated high.
Social and behavioral risk score 67 out of 100. Social audience data is available but limited, with linked Twitter, Telegram, and Reddit entries while influencer analytics snapshots are not available. Sentiment is fully positive based on the provided check (100% up, 0% down). Agent risk signals show no allegations, no bad press, and no regulatory items, but there is 1 incident recorded; one enrichment record is not available.
Contract mechanics and code safety score 88 out of 100. Public records indicate at least one verified contract, with no honeypot behavior detected and 0% buy/sell trading tax. Ownership and balance safety checks are favorable, with owner privileges assessed as safe and balances locked. The contract appears open in function (mintable with a defined hard cap of 1,500,000,000 and 100% circulating). The use of an upgradable proxy is flagged as an upgradability risk factor, and source is not verified.
Holder distribution and concentration score 81 out of 100. Concentration metrics are moderate: top 10 wallets hold 46.6% and top 50 hold 71.6%. The largest non-filtered wallet holds 10.4%, which is relatively contained versus a typical worst-case scenario, though there is a specific flag for a single wallet being over 10%. The holder count is high at 420,002, supporting broad participation.
Inherent crypto risk: even with a strong safety score, this is still a token on smart-contract infrastructure. The presence of mint authority and the upgradable proxy pattern mean token rules can potentially change through contract control mechanisms, and any single recorded incident in risk signals suggests you should monitor governance and contract upgrade activity over time.
