A browser that blocks ads, with an optional reward
Brave blocks ads and trackers by default, but if you choose to, you can view privacy-preserving ads and earn a small token reward for your attention instead of having it collected for free.
Where the tokens actually go
Beyond tipping creators, some people also set aside a share of tokens to auto-contribute to sites they visit often, which is a way to support the content you use without ever handing over a credit card.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I convert the tokens I earn into cash?
Some exchanges support converting BAT to cash, but availability varies by country, region, and platform -- check your local rules before treating it as real income. This is general information, not financial advice.
Do I have to view ads to use Brave?
Viewing ads is entirely optional, and turning it off doesn't affect the browser's built-in ad-blocking, which stays on either way.
