You Can Now Tip on Twitter With Brave's Basic Attention Token

Published on by Coindesk | Published on

Another tipping service has been added to Twitter, courtesy of Brave browser.

Alternative internet browser Brave has officially launched tipping following a beta phase, according to a company blog post.

Tweeters can tip content using Brave's Basic Attention Token.

Brave steps further into the realm of micro-tipping, a service envisioned in its white paper.

To inaugurate the launch, Brave is sending 100,000 BAT grants to every Brave desktop user who cannot receive Brave Ads.

Brave claims Reddit, Vimeo and GitHub are next on the list.

Brave also currently supports tips for YouTube and Twitch.

A Brave tips icon will be placed next to the familiar "Retweet" and "Favorite" feature on Twitter.

Brave has also automated the tips, meaning tips can be set for your favorite content creators in timed installments.

Users must use the Brave browser and have Brave Rewards turned on to use the feature.
