grant – What is BAT?

If you’ve already downloaded the new Brave Browser (support us with this download), then you’ve probably already seen how insanely fast and how effective it is at keeping your web-browsing private. But did you know that every user is also eligible to claim free BAT?

Note: Free BAT grants are given out each month and have a limited supply. If you do not see an option to claim any in Step 3, check back again next month! Or if you want to start earning, check out our tutorial on how to earn BAT by turning on Brave Ads.

This free BAT is given out by Brave from their User-Growth-Pool (UGP), which is intended for promoting the Brave platform. Thus, this free BAT cannot be withdrawn to your own wallet for personal use. And as such, this free BAT can only be used towards donating to your favorite websites, YouTubers, or Twitch streamers (more platform support coming soon).

For iOS users, they will have to wait. BAT wallets will be coming soon!

Step 1: Open a new Tab in Brave
