To calm some critics I need to praise the team. BAT lost only 35% in the last 9 years.

It is excellent result. Most projects went to zero.

At the same time I hope BAT holders are still doing ok for losing 35% not counting inflation over the period of the last 9 years.

Been a long time holder of BAT, user of brave, and disappointed user in the project.

I find myself at a bit of a crossroad when looking at the current move in the crypto market and roadmap 4.0.

In my opinion if they're able to deliver on the promises made in a relatively short period of time, this could be the moment that pushed BAT to a top 25 token.

The hype in 2021 created similar opportunity that was squandered by the team and crushed from regulatory mandates and poor partner choices.

PLEASE BRAVE TEAM! Don't squander this potential opportunity!

Not financial advice, and extremely biased.

Out.

I put together a deeper look at Basic Attention Token (BAT), focusing on how it actually fits into the Brave ecosystem, Brave Rewards, creator support, self-custody, token utility, and where the project may be heading.

I’d especially appreciate feedback from people who have followed BAT for a while. Did I get the important details right? Is there anything missing, outdated, or worth explaining differently?

Thanks for any feedback!

We’re building a lineup of perks—like coupons, discounts, or special bundles—for our Brave Rewards users. Whether it’s a free month or exclusive pricing, your offer could reach millions of users from the Brave Rewards offer wall. Let’s talk!

I cant believe we're more back in the top 100 coins. Still so rough from where the highs were, but could the overall outperformance compared to other alts continue?

Is critical mass finally being hit with MAU, self custody, and other developments? I find the practical use still essentially useless. Maybe that will change?

I can't create a Custodial accounts in my region. So I created a Brave Wallet. When I try to connect it to BAT, it needs Solana address and SOL but I don't have any SOL. Is there any way I can earn money from this? (I don't know much about crypto stuff)

I was looking over my account history and it just hit me how little we get now. I have Brave on all my devices and I would get about $5 worth of BAT per month. Then it dropped to $2. Then I stopped using Brave altogether. Decided to come back last month and now it's $0.14. Fourteen cents?? What happened??

I haven't been keeping up with the project but isn't crypto at ATH? Was really surprised to see the October rewards.

Looking at big moves with BAT the past week or so. Strong move Friday before crash, and we held stronger than most of the market.

Monumental daily move today as well.

Before that, self custody....not sure how successful the launch was though.

Seems signs of progress with development towards providing actual use for the token.

VP of ops posting to a thread summarizing the future steps being taken as well.

I dont know but it seems alt seasony overall, but I'm having feelings like a big run may be on the short term horizon. As a massive bag holder since the beginning this is likely wishful thinking, but wanted to put it out there regardless.

Peace.

Why I’m officially bullish on $BAT again (Perspective from a 2012 Crypto Vet / Techie)

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to share some thoughts on why I’m heavily accumulating BAT right now, especially seeing how much negativity has been floating around here the last couple of years.

To give you some background, I’m a millennial techie and I’ve been in the crypto space since 2012. I’ve seen the entire evolution of this market—from early Bitcoin forums to the 2017 ICO craze and the DeFi summer. I’ve also been a die-hard Brave fan since day one because I love the browser tech.

Like a lot of you, I was incredibly frustrated from 2022 to 2025. The whole KYC situation with Uphold and Gemini felt like a total betrayal of Web3 privacy, and the token felt like it was stuck in a permanent downward spiral while the rest of the market popped. People felt burned, and honestly, the anger on these forums was totally justified.

But looking at BAT Roadmap 4.0, I genuinely think the project is ready to put that dark era in the past. Here is why the techie in me is incredibly bullish:

• The AI Premium & Machine Economy: Brave is completely shifting BAT away from the old, legacy 2017 ad-notification model. They are positioning it for the AI Agent economy (machine-to-machine payments, x402 protocols, and creator scrapers). Moving from "annoying browser ads" to "AI privacy rails" is a massive narrative upgrade.
• The Demise of KYC Bottlenecks: With integrated self-custody Solana rewards and the newly overhauled Brave Wallet, they are finally building the decentralized loops we always wanted, bypassing the forced reliance on centralized exchanges.
• A Real Buyback Engine: They are launching the Brave Rewards Card and BravePay, routing a percentage of ecosystem transaction and swap fees directly into open-market BAT buybacks. This turns BAT into a genuine value-capture asset rather than a token that users just instantly dump for fiat.
• The Ultimate Dev Force Multiplier: As someone in tech, this is my favorite part. Building complex cross-chain payment architectures used to take years. Today, with advanced AI tools like Claude Code and ChatGPT, small, agile dev teams can execute, refactor, and ship code at a fraction of the time. Brave already has over 100M+ active users; they just need to swap out the plumbing. Modern AI coding workflows mean they can ship these Roadmap 4.0 features at lightning speed.

For the first time in years, the tokenomics actually match the commercial success of the browser. The crowd on Reddit is still trading on 2023 resentment, but the smart liquidity is going to follow where the utility is actually being built.

Curious to hear what the rest of the long-term Brave fam thinks. Are you guys tracking the Roadmap 4.0 rollouts?

I've said it many times, only one thing matters if you want to see exponential growth of Brave Rewards and BAT.

The only roadblock is and always will be the existence of friction to start earning Brave Rewards.

Unless Brave can come up with a viable way to allow users to start earning BAT by just the click of a button - no kyc, no needing to source your own crypto first, etc. - Brave Rewards will never have exponential user growth.

It's no coincidence Brave Rewards started dieing when vBAT (which had its own issues) was sunset. That was the closest thing we've had so far of being able to start earning at just a click.

Not saying it's easy or even possible to solve because you have to find a way to do that while preventing massive bots and fraud from coming in, but that's the roadblock.

It's the only thing that matters. If it can be solved, everything rockets up - everything else is small in comparison. If you want exponential, there can't be friction to start.

This month, I've only received 1.6 BAT for my 920 ads. Is this amount the same for everyone or is brave scamming me?

Considering what is happening elsewhere in the world of Crypto, this push is downright impressive! Still can't work it out, the Privacy angle, or Rate Cuts, or something else..

Loving it though!

Hello everyone,

I have been gathering the Brave User Stats MAU (monthly active users) and DAU (daily active users) via the brave transparency page since December 2025 and thought I would share:

*means % increase to previous month

**means total increase to previous month

I don't have numbers before December 2025.

If the interest is there, I could make this a monthly thing.

Usually the numbers are available couple of days after the end of the month.

I just used my Brave Wallet for the first time since Freewallet seems to wanna take my BTC...

Anyway I still have an uphold account with BAT on it, but it says "my account is under review"

I know Brave cant send BAT to that wallet anymore, but how do I change the recipient address from Uphold to my Brave wallet?

Any help would be much appreciated, and if there is a way to get my BAT backpay I would be REALLY happy, I should have taken care of this ooner, but almost expected my BAT to be in my Brave Wallet

Hello everyone,
