The .brave domain “Get Yours, Build Now” website-building challenge
Earlier this year, we shared that .brave domains now resolve natively in Brave—both in Brave Wallet and directly in the Brave browser, without the need for extensions or extra setup. It was a milestone moment for the future of on-chain identity and decentralized websites.
Now, we’re taking things a step further with the .brave “Get Yours, Build Now” website-building challenge. To celebrate, we’re giving away 15,000 BAT and $20,000 USD in .brave domain credits, premium domains like winner.brave, and more to the boldest and most creative websites built on-chain.
This is your chance to unleash your creativity, show off your ideas, and shape what the on-chain Web can look like.
Entry period: October 15, 12pm ET to November 12, 11:59pm ET
Winners announced: November 20, 2025 (winners will be announced on the contest page, and on the @brave and @unstoppableweb X channels).
