Brave unveils BAT Roadmap 4.0 targeting AI agent payments

  • —Roadmap covers x402, MPP, BravePay, a Rewards Card and the Creator Contribution Protocol
  • —Search is being rebuilt for AI with LLM Context API and Place Search API over a 40B-page index
  • —BAT ad payouts will wind down by end-2026, replaced by revenue-funded token buybacks
  • —Brave reports 120M monthly and 51M daily active users as of mid-2026
Why it matters: BAT demand shifts from advertising to payments and search, and the transition window risks a gap in user rewards.
