So... Did i mess up?

Hello everyone. I have been using the brave browser for a while now. I had an issue with my Uphold account in the recent past, so when Brave started allowing rewards to go to Solana, I chose that option. Unfortunately, I think that I might have jumped the gun a little, because somehow I managed to get my bat sent to solana, without me actually registering for an account with solana first. When I tap on the rewards icon, there is a line which states: “Balance (SOL) Account does not exist”.

My issue with my uphold account has been fixed, and I would like to move ny rewards from there to said uphod account. The part about an account not existing concerns me, though.

Is there a way to successfully move my bat away from this wallet (or whatever it is), or do I need to start over?

Hello - Thanks for reaching out. It is normal to see Balance (SOL) Account does not exist if there is no Solana on the address.

Instructions for transferring SPL-BAT. Please note, Uphold may not support the SPL-BAT token.

Hello. These links don’t tell us how to fix the problem. Are all this only for nerds? Why there’s no clear orientation for setting Brave Wallet? Why there is not a “checklist” for verifying if everything is OK? I “think” I did everything I could, but my balance is 0 and the “Account does not exist” is there. Why?
Please, I really need a real help, not just links to the same. Thank you.

When an Account does not exist , it means the address has not been funded with Solana. The Solana (SOL) token is required to send your deposited BAT.

The balance shown is the already deposited BAT in your connected account from the previous month. It is not related to your current earnings.

If recently connected to Brave Rewards in March your first payment will take place in the upcoming monthly payment period.

Please let me know if I can help clarify anything else. Thanks
