Brave has launched a payment system allowing AI agents to pay for individual Search API requests using stablecoins, without needing accounts or API keys. The company's BAT Roadmap 4.0 outlines plans to expand payment support across Brave products, including a redesigned Brave Wallet, BravePay stablecoin protocol, and a Brave Rewards Card offering BAT rewards. The roadmap also proposes a Creator Contribution Protocol and plans to phase out Brave Ads Notification by 2026 while continuing other ad rewards. Brave aims to use revenue from wallet, card, and BravePay activities for BAT buybacks, with more details on BAT's role expected later this year.
