Description of the issue:
It is weird that we cannot claim BAT reward tokens directly with Brave Wallet. Is this feature in progress? Should be a top priority for Brave Wallet acceptance.
Is the issue occurring on a specific network?
No, although mainly Ethereum network at this time.
What operating system are you using?
macOS 14.2
Brave Version (check About Brave):
1.61.109 (Official)
Could not agree more. Why the hassle with regional etc. thingies? It is contradicting itself at this perspective. Web3 requires (the rewards) web3 wallets. Not regional constraints.
The answer is yes, they are working on payments to self custody wallets based on Solana or something. There is no ETA as of now but I suppose that it should be coming in Q2 or Q3 next year.
The reason why it hasn’t been here already is cause of government rules & regulations. Brave just wanted to make sure it doesn’t get messier and use the custodial payouts as a stop gap for figuring out how exactly the self custody payments should go through (my opinion).
