Brave Rewards, a New Way to Think About the Web
summary
Brave presents a concrete system: an opt‑in rewards model using the BAT token, on‑device ad catalogs and blinded tokens to report views privately.

Users get an anonymous wallet plus optional Uphold verification for instant tips; publishers receive 70% of ad revenue. Demonstrated components include daily catalogs, tipping, monthly auto‑contributions and regional ad rollouts.
