Brave (BAT) and Origin Protocol (OGN) have joined forces once again and are celebrating their strong and long lasting partnership with the launch of an exclusive NFT drop named TABONG

I remember Brave opening their swag store on Origin Protocol's Dshop platform but I had lost track of the subsequent collaborations.

Since I am a Brave browser happy user and hold some BAT as well as a decent bag of OGN plus staked ones, I am very happy to see this was meant to be a deep partnership rather than just a one-off superficial one. Also by what I read from both team members' interviews, it looks like they're preparing more things together.

These projects have both strong fundamentals, goals, long-term plans and exceptional teams coming from top-notch internet giants.

I had a blast following the last NFT live auction where bidders were 'fighting' in order to overbid each other during the last minutes of the auction, it went from like under $100,000 to over $760,000 in a bunch of minutes.

This is cool already but I think is only starting to show the surface of a much bigger potential for their NFT tech use cases and it's great these excellent teams are working together.

I am confident we will hear about them both many times again and for a long time in the crypto space. Brave as the greatest Browser and with a great rewards system for their users through BAT and Origin Protocol as NFT leaders and among DeFI top 10 projects.

The TABONG auction will start next week and will last only 30 mins ( more info here).

I am setting a reminder and if you're intrigued by the future of NFTs I suggest you do that too to watch how this works. If they're not getting as crazy expensive as some previous drops I'll try to bid as well as I want to get familiar with the process, soon this could be the standard for other NFT product sales.
