Website-Building Challenge
Earlier this year, we shared that .brave domains now resolve natively in Brave Wallet and directly in the Brave Browser, without the need for extensions or extra setup. It was a milestone moment for the future of onchain websites, with Brave also planning to apply for an official ICANN TLD in 2026. Now, we’re inviting builders, creators, and dreamers to take it further by building an onchain website for your .brave domain.
The .brave: Get Yours, Build Now Website-Building Challenge is your chance to unleash creativity, showcase your vision for the onchain web, and win your share of 15,000 BAT, $20,000 in .brave domain credits, exclusive badges, and premium domains.
Challenge Prizes:
Build your onchain .brave website for a chance to win BAT, .brave domain credits, and more.
