PSA: Current and upcoming changes to Rewards and Creators

Minor Update: March 24, 2025

I should have added this a week ago, but I really am struggling to understand exactly what Brave is doing. They have announced Rewards 3.0 Partner Programs and are saying we should see some pushes here soon towards all the new changes.

You can read about the Partner Program stuff at the link below.

My perspective:

From what I can see, a lot of what Brave is moving toward is a bit more of a niche demographic, of those who like to do a lot with cryptocurrency. I don’t like doing much in the realm of cryptocurrency so I don’t keep much interest in the things they are showing.

But for people who want to dive deeper into Web3 and cryptocurrency, there seems to be some opportunities for extra money. For example, they talk about CHOMP where you can link your wallet, play, and earn BAT.

There’s also GuanoCoin where you can stake (I think is the right word) your BAT and earn GUANO coin. You can use SOL Incinerator to burn unwanted tokens for BAT as well. And I guess they’ll be consistently working with new partners to try to find ways to make BAT useful or give some ways to earn BAT outside of the traditional Rewards system.

I’m just hoping to see more specifics about things to come and how the changes will impact the average person, especially those who don’t want to deal a lot in Web3 and just was trying to do Rewards to earn for themselves and/or tip Creators.

Update April 14, 2025

Guess just an update to let everyone know there’s not really any updates. They are still adding people to Solana randomly and going through approvals for people requesting to join. The new UI is rolled out and we should be seeing more on the Offer Wall eventually.

Unfortunately they have been kind of quiet overall on Rewards for now and I have no idea of the things to come. About the newest they have said is this Reddit post talking about the new UI for Android. Yet no pictures shown and I’m assuming it was just them switching it over to the same or similar as Desktop.
