Auto-Contribute
The Auto-Contribute feature is a way to automatically support publishers and content
creators. Sites added to this table will receive automatic BAT contributions from your balance on a monthly basis.
The middle section displays Rewards data at a glance:
- Monthly payment - This is your set limit of BAT in which you’d like to contribute to the sites listed on your auto-contribute table. On the next contribution date, the monthly payment amount will be automatically withdrawn from your wallet and distributed across the sites listed on your auto-contribute table based on their attention percentage.
- Next contribution date - This is the date in which the monthly payment mentioned above will be withdrawn from your wallet.
- Supported Sites - Running tally of how many sites you’re currently donating to via auto-contribute.
Sites will be added to the table based on the frequency in which you are engaged with the site (your “Attention”). You may also include or exclude sites from the list manually by:
- Clicking the toggle located in the Rewards drop-down panel while on the site.
- Clicking the “Trash” icon on the right side of the site listing in the auto-contribute table.
Click the Settings icon to adjust additional auto-contribute settings:
