How does it work?
With Brave Rewards, you can earn tokens (called Basic Attention Tokens or “BAT” for short) for ads you see in Brave. You can choose which kinds of Brave Ads you see and earn from, such as images on the new tab page, push notifications, and more.
Brave Rewards also lets you support content creators by letting you send on-demand BAT contributions to your favorite sites and creators, or by having Brave do it automatically for you.
Default privacy.
Extra rewards.
By default, the Brave Browser blocks ads & trackers on the webpages you visit. But if you choose to see Brave Ads, you can earn.
Unlike ads from Big Tech companies, Brave Ads are private and never track you. Your browsing data never leaves your device. With Brave Ads, you’re always in full control.
What do Brave Ads look like?
You can choose which ones you’d like to see: images on the new tab page, cards in your Brave News feed, push notifications, and others.
See the list of ad formats in Brave. No ads in webpages. No pre-roll or mid-roll video ads.
What can you do with BAT?
How do I contribute to websites & creators?
Brave puts your privacy over Big Tech’s profit, blocking the ads that would otherwise collect and leak your data. But what about websites & content creators? Aren’t ads how they make money?
With Brave Rewards, you can directly support websites & creators with on-demand BAT contributions, or let Brave do it automatically for you. If you’re a website owner or creator, you can sign up as a Brave Creator now.

When you enable Brave Rewards for the first time, you’ll be indirectly supporting Brave Creators whenever you see Brave Ads. You won’t be able to direct your support to any specific creator, but we’ll earmark a portion of the ad revenue you help generate by viewing Brave Ads and distribute it to Brave Creators.
Once you connect an account from one of our custodial partners to your Brave Rewards profile, you’ll unlock the on-demand contributions feature and the Auto-Contribute feature. On-demand contributions let you send a specific amount of BAT to a creator of your choice. They’re like tips. Auto-Contribute automatically distributes BAT to the creators you visit throughout the month, depending on how much time you spend on their content.
You can also deposit BAT that you’ve purchased elsewhere into the account you have connected to your Brave Rewards profile, and then use that BAT to contribute to registered websites & content creators!

Brave Ads do not collect information about you. While Big Tech advertising relies on companies collecting information about you and transferring that data to their servers, with Brave Ads, everything happens directly on your device. Your browsing activity never leaves your device.
Brave uses an anonymous and privacy-preserving protocol to confirm ad event activity, keep personal details private, and ensure people earn rewards for their attention.
This means that while some Brave Ads formats are shown based on your browsing activity, this matching is hidden to Brave: it only happens on your device, and no personal data reaches Brave’s servers. Neither Brave nor advertisers know who you are or what you’re viewing online.
-
Brave puts users first, and that means sharing any ad revenue we generate directly with users. 70% of the revenue Brave earns through these unobtrusive, privacy-preserving ads is shared directly back with users as Brave Rewards. Brave encourages users to share some of their earnings with website publishers and content creators, but there’s no requirement to do so.
