@cab1 First, the device linking limit has been removed some time ago and previous limit of 4 per custodial account, no longer exists.
As per industry standards, it’s very moderate. Goggle, Twitch etc. take upwards of 30% as commission! Even 3rd party services like Patreon takes upwards of 5%. I personally don’t think this 5% is excessive.
How come so many chains are mentioned but not Solana that Brave is trying to integrate. And, of all things out there on crypto, I just know tip of the iceberg, just premitive information.
Brave is blockchain agnostic. Plans to go multi-chain have are there for some time, just Solana being the first one.
But for now, BAT from rewards can only be withdrawn on Ethereum chain. And this is due to limitation of custodial partners as they only support BAT on Ethereum-chain. And Brave plans to bring liquidity of Solana-BAT (Portal) over to Uphold/Gemini but that will take time. And so will BAT liquidity on other-chains.
And about Brave paying Gas fee to move
Rewards BAT to Uphold/Gemini, I don’t think that’s correct. Even tips from unverified Rewards wouldn’t incur gas fee. But for cross-custodial tips (Uphold verified user tipping Gemini linked creator and vice-versa) gas fee could be a requirement and that’s why it hasn’t been implemented.
With full Solana integration, we will have faster, low cost transactions with BAT earned from Brave Rewards but in some time future.
