Get Paid for Your Attention: Brave Browser Now Rewards Users
Brave has flipped the traditional ad model on its head by letting you earn Basic Attention Token ($BAT) simply by browsing the web. Instead of surrendering your data to advertisers for nothing in return, you can opt into privacy-preserving Brave Ads and get paid directly. Ads and trackers are blocked by default across all sites including YouTube, which means faster page loads and a cleaner browsing experience. When you enable Brave Rewards, you choose when and how often to see ads, with earnings distributed monthly straight to your connected wallet or custodial account. This isn’t a limited-time promotion, it’s a permanent shift in how browsing and advertising work together.
About Brave
Brave rebuilt the browser from the ground up with privacy and user control at its core. Most browsers accept ads and tracking as unavoidable, but Brave blocks them by default without requiring extensions or manual setup. The browser is available on Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android, with ad and tracker blocking working seamlessly across platforms including video sites and news outlets. Brave Rewards introduces an optional layer where users can view privacy-focused ads and earn $BAT in exchange for their attention, with ad matching happening locally on your device to prevent profiling. Beyond browsing, Brave includes a native crypto wallet for Web3, a built-in VPN for enhanced privacy, and Leo, an AI assistant that lets you summarize pages, analyze documents, and generate content without requiring an account. $BAT powers the entire ecosystem, enabling users to earn tokens, support verified creators on platforms like YouTube and Twitch, and participate in a fairer advertising economy that respects privacy while rewarding attention.
Step-by-Step Guide for Brave Airdrop
- Install Brave (desktop or mobile) → Download the Brave browser on Windows, macOS, Linux, or Android. Brave is also available on iOS, though Brave Rewards and $BAT earning are not supported there due to platform restrictions. Ads, trackers, and pop-ups are blocked by default on all platforms, including YouTube.
- Enable Brave Rewards → On desktop or Android, click the BAT icon in the address bar, select your country, and accept the Brave Rewards Terms of Service.
- Choose payout destination → Click Connect account and select where you want to receive $BAT, either through a supported custodial account or the native Brave Wallet for self-custody. If you use Brave Wallet, set a password and securely store your recovery phrase.
- Manage Brave Ads → From Rewards settings, enable Brave Ads and adjust ad frequency, types, and categories. Ads appear as notifications or native placements. Clicking ads is not required, and Rewards are paid out monthly.
- Browse normally → Once enabled, $BAT accrues automatically during everyday browsing. If Rewards are turned off later, Brave continues blocking ads and trackers by default. Brave includes Leo, a built-in AI assistant that lets users summarize pages and videos, analyze documents, and generate content privately, without an account. Access Leo via the star icon on desktop or from the main menu on mobile.
- Use your $BAT → Hold it in your wallet, transfer it, or support verified creators. Creators can join Brave Creators to receive $BAT from users who support their content through Brave Rewards. Supported platforms include YouTube, Twitch, Vimeo, and websites.
