Brave Rewards 3.0 Partner Program: May Update

From the Course to the Console—BAT Utility Hits Its Stride

Brave’s Rewards 3.0 Partner Program is picking up speed. Designed to expand Basic Attention Token (BAT) utility across Web3, the program gives partners premium exposure to Brave’s over 86 million monthly active users. In May, we’re welcoming 6 new partners spanning fitness, sports, gaming, DeFi, and creator tools, each bringing new ways to earn, engage, and build with BAT. This month also introduces new Brave Rewards product updates and Offer Wall enhancements, making it even easier for users to explore and participate.

• Updated Brave Creators dashboard

Meet May’s featured partners

This month’s partners are bringing Web3 into the rhythm of daily life, from movement-based challenges and golf rewards to community tokens, creative tools, and immersive gaming. Each one offers a distinct way for users to earn, play, or participate in the culture using BAT, whether trading on a next-gen DEX, stepping bravely into a dystopian game world, or finding the perfect podcast guest. 

New partner offers will roll out across the Brave Rewards Offer Wall, Notification Ads, and New Tab Takeovers throughout the program, giving users fresh ways to explore, engage, and earn with BAT.

Berrie DEX 

BerrieDex is a multi-chain order book decentralized exchange reimagining DeFi trading with slippage-free limit and market orders. Operating on nine networks, including Ethereum and Solana, Berrie offers a “vortex of liquidity,” enabling frictionless trading and unlimited market creation. Its native token, $BERRIE, rewards stakers with 100% of trading fees, redistributed through open-market buybacks to support token value.

Through the program, Berrie will explore swap discounts for Brave Rewards users and BAT holders, making trading and earning in DeFi more accessible. Berrie has also listed BAT and GUANO are now listed on Berrie’s muti-chain exchange. 

GolfN

GolfN is a play-to-earn app that rewards golfers for doing what they love. Launching in open beta this spring on iOS and Android, it features scoring, AI-powered on-course tips, performance analytics, and community tools. Players earn points through in-app activity, which can be redeemed for premium golf gear in the GolfN Pro Shop, sweepstakes entries, and soon, even tradable on-chain for cash via $GOLF.

As part of the Rewards 3.0 Partner Program, GolfN will integrate BAT as a payment option, create custom, co-branded merchandise, and offer special bonus points opportunities and Pro Shop perks for BAT holders and Rewards users.  

Moonwalk Fitness

Moonwalk Fitness is an accountability app that combines daily step goals with financial incentives. Users can join or create games, set daily step targets, and pledge entry funds. Hitting your goals protects your deposit, while missing them forfeits a portion to a prize pool shared by the most consistent players.

Brave first partnered with Moonwalk in 2024 on several step challenges, including Step for Gold, during the Paris Winter Olympics and the Singapore Stroll at Solana Breakpoint. BAT sponsored the bonus prize pools for each, drawing hundreds of signups via Brave’s unique game codes. In May, Brave and Moonwalk teamed up again for Accelerate Impact, a charity challenge benefitting BONK’s Bonk for Paws initiative. The event raised over $32K from Brave and other sponsors, with 1,000 signups in just under a week. 

As part of the program, Brave will continue sponsoring Moonwalk challenges with BAT rewards. Moonwalk is also exploring BAT as a buy-in option on its platform, expanding earning and utility opportunities for BAT holders and Brave Rewards users. 

Novacast AI

Novacast is an AI-powered platform that connects podcast hosts with ideal guests instantly, streamlining the entire booking process. Hosts can browse expert profiles, automate scheduling, and earn for publishing episodes. Guests can get matched with relevant shows or use AI tools to discover and pitch active podcasts with the click of a button. Novacast handles the heavy lifting so creators and guests can spark conversations that matter.

Novacast and Brave are combining efforts to amplify creator visibility, unlock new content opportunities, and introduce novel utilities for BAT within the podcasting ecosystem.

Ubisoft

Ubisoft is a leading game publisher known for creating rich, immersive worlds across iconic franchises like Assassin’s Creed®, Brawlhalla®, For Honor®, Far Cry®, Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon®, Just Dance®, Rabbids®, Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six®, and more. In 2023, Ubisoft generated nearly $2 billion in net bookings, powered by a global network of studios and a loyal player base.

Through platforms like Ubisoft Connect and Ubisoft+, players can access an expansive catalog of over 100 games and services that enhance play across devices and communities. 

As part of the Brave Rewards 3.0 Partner Program, Ubisoft is developing a custom Brave skin for avatars in Captain Laserhawk: The G.A.M.E., a community-driven adventure set in a dystopian future where players shape the narrative through collective decision-making. The Brave skin is a symbol of digital resistance, created for players who reject conformity and challenge the status quo. 

Brave and Ubisoft are also teaming up for an experiential activation at EthCC in Cannes (June 30-July 3), inviting fans to step into the world of Captain Laserhawk and explore shared themes of independence and disruption.

Updates from April Partners 

In April, 6 partners joined the Rewards 3.0 Partner Program: Coinage, H3 Entertainment, STEPN, Unfungible, Unstoppable Domains, and Zcash Media. Together, we launched Brave Ads campaigns, co-branded activations, and early BAT integrations designed to boost engagement, drive adoption, and pilot innovative on-chain experiences. 

Pudgy Pop, Bandit, and GuanCoin teamed up for a community raffle. BAT and GUANO holders who completed a Web3 quest on bat.bandit.network earned bonus entries for a Pudgy Penguin NFT giveaway hosted by Pudgy Pop, blending on-chain participation with playful incentives.

Brave also launched its own on-chain top-level domain, .brave, in partnership with Unstoppable Domains. Within days, over 3,500 .brave domains were claimed. Fans can still claim a .brave domain here, using BAT, cryptocurrency, or credit card. An upcoming episode of The Brave Technologist podcast will feature a discussion between Unstoppable’s COO Sandy Carter and Brave’s Luke Mulks around decentralized identity and the future of user-owned naming.

Meanwhile, Brave and STEPN teamed up to launch a limited-edition digital collectible: the Brave sneaker. From May 27-30, 200 sneakers (199 OG and 1 Genesis edition) will be raffled off to eligible participants. Holders of BAT x Adam Ape NFT holders receive a 50% boost in their odds of winning. Collectible sneakers enhance both earnings and gameplay, demonstrating a real-world application of crypto in fitness and lifestyle. On May 27, Chonky from STEPN joined the weekly BAT Community Call to share more about the partnership and raffle.

Exciting collaborations with Coinage, H3 Entertainment, Unfungible, and ZCash Media are also in motion, with more to be revealed in the next update.
