Brave Wallet

Brave Wallet is a Web3 wallet that allows you to buy, store, send, and swap almost any crypto asset & NFT, connect other wallets and Web3 dApps, and generally manage your whole crypto portfolio. You can learn more about Brave Wallet here.

Brave Wallet is self-custody, meaning you alone have the ability to manage (or transact with) your assets. You can learn more about the details and benefits of self custody with our Intro to Crypto Custody.

Brave Rewards

Brave Rewards is a feature in Brave that allows users to earn tokens (called Basic Attention Tokens or “BAT”) for ads they see in Brave, and gives users multiple ways to support websites and content creators online. You can learn more about Brave Rewards, here.

In order to earn BAT for Brave Ads, you will need to connect an account from one of Brave's custodial account provider partners to your Brave Rewards profile.

Can I connect Brave Wallet to Brave Rewards?

Currently, you can't connect Brave Wallet to Brave Rewards. Instead, Brave Rewards allows you to connect a custodial account—such as an Uphold, Gemini, or bitFlyer account—to your Brave Rewards profile so that you can begin earning BAT for Brave Ads.

If you'd like to move the BAT you've earned from Brave Rewards to your Brave Wallet, you can withdraw your BAT earnings from your Uphold, Gemini, or BitFlyer account, and send them to your Brave Wallet address.
