Hello!  
Can’t you guys bring a new custodian for all around the world?  
Uphold is hopeless and Gemini is not working everywhere.  
Brave was born to give everyone an equal place on the internet, but still as I can see that Brave is mostly focused on US citizens?  
Can’t you guys fix this?  
Maybe [crypto.com](http://crypto.com) will be a good option.  
🤔

Better yet why not give us the chance to send our tokens right out of the brave browser to any wallet we choose. I linked with gemini and had all kinds of problems. In addition they took all my tokens and left me with 0! I couldn’t believe it! I left Gemini!

We should be able to send our tokens out right from the brave browser to any wallet. There should be no need to have a custodial wallet that we must link to.

Please improve your service,

And who will pay the fee for sending you your 1 Bat?

Brave will never be able to ‘pay’ the rewards to anything but a custodial wallet i.e. where the payment is just a movement of figures on paper and not an actual movement of coins.

The fees involved to move actual coins are far more than the total of the monthly rewards users get.

That’s true.  
But I think they should still provide people a good custodian something like binance, [crypto.com](http://crypto.com) as these companies have the most coverage in the world.

There is nothing but problems with the entire process. It is not worth while.

There are too many issues to make this worthwhile.

I have nothing further to say

Hey @DouglasHDaniel what are your thoughts on this? Anyway Brave could add more custodians? Coinbase, Crypto. com, etc?

Hey @akent22 the Themis upgrade for Brave Rewards aims to provide an option to “bring your own” custodian auth. We do not have a date that this is set to land, but we aim to address the issue with that upgrade.

Each of these custodians increases work around anti-fraud, payments/settlements, etc. for both users and creators, so adding more is non-trivial in the current Rewards setup.

Themis aims to address this though. Hope this helps!
