I have never used any kind of crypto wallet before but I use Proton Mail, VPN, etcetera and they have a crypto wallet called Proton Wallet. I am wondering if I can use it for my Brave Rewards? I am currently running the latest versions of the Brave browser on both iOS and Windows 11. Thanks in advance for your help with this!
According to Brave Search (Answer with AI):
You cannot use Proton Wallet for Brave Rewards.
Proton Wallet and Brave Wallet are distinct products from different companies with no integration:
- Brave Rewards distributes BAT (Basic Attention Tokens) earned from privacy-respecting ads directly to your Brave Wallet , which is a self-custody crypto wallet built into the Brave browser.
- Proton Wallet is a separate Bitcoin-only self-custody wallet developed by Proton AG. It does not support BAT or the Brave Rewards ecosystem.
To receive Brave Rewards earnings, you must use the Brave Wallet feature within the Brave browser. Proton Wallet is designed for secure Bitcoin storage and transactions, not for managing BAT or interacting with Brave’s ad-reward system.

Bummer, but THANK YOU for the great explanation!
