Introduction to Brave Browser
Brave Browser, a revolutionary web browser, prioritises user security and delivers an exceptional browsing experience. Its foundation rests on cutting-edge security measures, shielding users from trackers, ads, and other potential threats, while ensuring enhanced privacy. Brave Browser's native Crypto token is the Basic Attention Token (BAT). The browser seamlessly integrates with the Basic Attention Token (BAT) system, allowing users to earn BAT for viewing privacy-respecting ads. These earned BAT tokens are called “ Brave Rewards”. Users of the Brave Browser can opt-in for the “Brave Rewards” feature on the browser.
By championing security, privacy, and innovative reward systems, Brave stands out as a game-changer among its competitors in the browser market.
Please read our Blog on BAT to learn more about BAT, Brave Rewards and Brave Browser.

Why is it not there in the iPhone and iPads?
Brave users on iPhones and iPads will no longer be able to earn rewards for their attention, and will no longer be able to tip their favorite online creators via Brave. However, users on desktop (including MacOS) and Android browsers can continue to enjoy the full functionality of the Brave Rewards system. Refer to the announcement from the BRAVE team here for more details.
Why have I not received Brave Rewards until now?
Brave introduced a policy change in February 2023, mandating users to link to a custodial wallet to start earning Brave Rewards.

You can confirm your profile's creation date by visiting this link from your Brave Browser: brave://rewards-internals.
15. Why am I getting the 'device limit reached " error while connecting my wallet?
There is no limit as such. You can connect as many Brave Rewards accounts as you wish to your ZebPay wallet. If for some reason you are still encountering a linking limit error while trying to connect your account, you can raise a ticket.
16. Why am I getting logged out very often from Brave Rewards in Brave browser?
Please do not worry if you get disconnected, it won't affect your ability to earn rewards. Regardless of whether you're connected or disconnected from your account, all earnings from your Brave Rewards profile will be transferred to the last connected account until you link a different one. It's typical for the ZebPay account to disconnect when accessed simultaneously from multiple devices or locations, as concurrent logins are not permitted.
Now that you have ZebPay, go ahead and connect your ZebPay account with Brave Rewards to begin earning.
