Substratum is developing a blockchain-based network that will be able to deliver secure content to anyone, without the need for Tor or VPNs. Their open-source platform for the decentralized web enables free, uncensored, and unrestricted access to content for everybody.
Substratum's decentralized content delivery network is based on an innovative system of nodes that transmit secure content, and are paid with cryptocurrency, on a pay per click model. Nodes are paid for contributing their computing resources to the network and users are able to access website and apps on any browser.
The network is self governed and powered with the native SUB token. Substratum has a native payment system that allows nodes to convert SUB tokens to their preferred digital token.

Brave Software has developed a cryptocurrency enabled web browser that is designed to change the ad-based revenue models of the internet. The Brave browser is powered by an Ethereum-based token, and revolves around a blockchain-based digital advertising platform. It has the potential to change the existing online media dynamic and better meet the needs of internet users, publishers and advertisers. Users benefit from a faster web experience, publishers can increase their revenue with less cluttered ads, and advertisers will benefit from more transparency and more effective ads. At the core of Brave's platform is the Basic Attention Token (BAT), that enables micropayments between users and publishers. They hope to establish a new revenue model for the web that isn't based on intrusive ads, but on user attention.
