Brave Rewards Partner Program 2026 update: more ways to use BAT in gaming, shopping, and beyond

Launched in March 2025, the Brave Rewards Partner Program continues to expand the utility of Basic Attention Token (BAT) across Web3. The program connects Web3 brands with Brave’s audience of more than 117 million monthly users through premium, privacy-respecting advertising placements, including in-browser New Tab Takeovers and the Rewards Offer Wall, while giving Brave Rewards users and BAT holders access to exclusive perks, discounts, and experiences.

By encouraging partners to integrate BAT directly into their products and services, the program creates new ways for users to earn, spend, and use BAT. This update introduces the latest partners joining the program, and recent partner milestones.

Meet our new program partners

Anichess

Anichess is a free-to-play strategy game developed by Animoca Brands in partnership with Chess.com. Through unique spell-based gameplay, it reimagines traditional chess and creates an esport-like experience for a new generation of players.

As part of the Brave Rewards Partner Program, Anichess will collaborate with Brave to create new ways for players to engage with BAT and digital ownership, including a Brave-sponsored season featuring exclusive cosmetic skin sets and a custom Brave spell integrated directly into the game.

CryptoEQ

CryptoEQ is an independent cryptocurrency research platform providing data-driven insights into digital assets and networks.

Through the program, CryptoEQ will offer Brave Rewards users a 15% discount on its Premium membership while exploring opportunities to bring exclusive research and insights to the BAT community. CryptoEQ is also reserving 100 token-gated subscriptions to its premium newsletter exclusively for BAT holders.

Ethereum Name Service (ENS)

Ethereum Name Service (ENS) is a decentralized naming protocol that replaces long wallet addresses with simple, human-readable names.

ENS is now featured in the Brave Rewards Offer Wall, giving Brave Rewards users an easy way to discover and register their own .eth identity.

PizzaDAO 

PizzaDAO is a global community best known for organizing the annual Global Pizza Party in celebration of Bitcoin Pizza Day, bringing together thousands of participants across hundreds of cities worldwide.

In May, Brave partnered with PizzaDAO to support the 2026 Global Pizza Party, featuring Brave and BAT branding across participating events; a custom Brave-themed pizza; and community activations designed to introduce attendees to Brave and BAT. The campaign reached 109 events across five continents, generating more than 16,000 RSVPs and attracting over 61,000 unique visitors to event pages worldwide. The collaboration demonstrated how community-led events can introduce Brave and BAT to new audiences at global scale.

SP3ND

SP3ND is a stablecoin-powered shopping platform that allows users to purchase products from major online retailers, including Amazon and eBay, using digital assets without KYC.

Through the program, SP3ND will integrate BAT as a payment option, giving Brave Rewards users and BAT holders new ways to spend BAT on everyday purchases. The partnership will also include bonus rewards for Brave Rewards users and additional promotions highlighting BAT eCommerce utility.

Streamiverse

Streamiverse is a creator platform that enables livestreamers to accept donations in cryptocurrency and traditional payment methods.

Through a dedicated Brave integration, users can connect their Brave Wallet and tip BAT directly to creators during livestreams. The integration complements Brave’s existing creator contribution system by extending BAT-powered support to live streams, allowing creators to react to tips and messages, and find custom Brave and BAT-themed memes. Fans can also experience BAT-powered live tipping.

Updates from existing partners

Fanon & Brave Games 

One of the most ambitious collaborations to emerge from the Brave Rewards Partner Program was Brave Games, a multi-week, reality-style vault heist experience built with Fanon, Midnight Network, and Mythical Games.

The campaign attracted more than 51,000 participants who competed in challenges, solved clues, formed alliances, and earned rewards ranging from collectibles and gaming prizes to .brave domain credits. Before the games began, Brave, Midnight, and Mythical Games leaders hosted a joint X Spaces event with Brendan Eich, Charles Hoskinson, and John Linden to introduce the experience to their communities.

Supported by a broad coalition of ecosystem partners, Brave Games demonstrated how BAT-powered collaborations can evolve into large-scale community experiences. 

Following the success of the first season, Fanon and Brave are currently developing Brave Games V2, which will introduce new gameplay mechanics and explore AI-focused challenges built around Brave products and partner ecosystems. Additional details will be announced soon. Follow @AttentionToken and @Fanonclub on X for upcoming news.

GuanoCoin

Over 1,160 community members have now locked more than 486,000 BAT in GuanoCoin’s BAT Cave, making it one of the largest community-driven BAT initiatives on Solana. Alongside the Cave, GuanoCoin continues to support BAT liquidity through its BAT/SOL liquidity pool, further expanding BAT utility across the ecosystem.

Orange Cap Games

In May, Brave and Orange Cap Games launched a special promotion in Vibes, the trading card game set in the Pudgy Penguins universe. For a limited time, players who sign up at vibes.game/brave and purchase gems with BAT receive a 20% bonus and unlock Brave’s limited-edition “Lil Window Washer” playable collector card.

Unstoppable Domains 

To celebrate the launch of the .brave top-level domain, Brave and Unstoppable Domains hosted the .brave Website-Building Challenge. More than 1,200 website submissions from creators around the world showcased the creativity of the Brave community.

Nearly a year after launch, adoption of .brave continues to grow with more than 20,600 domains registered to date. Fans can still claim their .brave domain using BAT, crypto, or a credit card at buy.unstoppabledomains.com/brave.

Looking ahead, Brave and Unstoppable Domains are preparing to pursue ICANN accreditation for .brave, an important step toward expanding how .brave domains can be used across the broader web.
