Tokens in the real world

This feature makes BAT tokens more useful and also provides a vast new user base and consumer audience for brands in the TAP network.

Brave software’s partnership with the TAP network creates a new opportunity for BAT holders and the users and publishers in the Brave ecosystem. The users in the United States can now redeem their tokens for buying gift cards from top national brands.
