BAT Ambassadors Weekly Program Update Ambassador Initiatives Updates from @bat_guilhermee Guilherme shared progress on the BAT Ambassadors GitBook, a public resource he began developing around two months ago to provide greater transparency into the BAT Ambassadors Program. Previously, most program resources were available only through Discord, making them accessible exclusively to ambassadors. The GitBook will serve as a publicly accessible hub for anyone interested in learning more about the program. One of the featured sections, "BAT Ambassadors Initiatives," highlights projects developed by ambassadors, including: Lukash: BATtle Royale Game Alex: Cardano BAT Stake Pool and Governance DragenDave: Solana Community Pool, and a multi-send tool that simplifies onboarding solution to help users become eligible for BAT Rewards. Miscellaneous On Ring Lisboa Updates from @bat_guilhermee Guilherme shared highlights from On Ring, the boxing event he hosted in Lisbon, Portugal, with the goal of bringing together the boxing and Web3 communities. The event introduced boxing enthusiasts to Web3, and approximately 300 people attended. Organized by the New Economy Institute, the event featured three major sponsors: Brave, Delphi Ventures and Pyth. Their branding was prominently displayed throughout the venue, including on the boxing ring and event banners. The event received overwhelmingly positive feedback, with attendees expressing enthusiasm for seeing innovative, community-driven experiences in Web3 despite the current bear market. It also provided valuable networking opportunities for developers, builders, founders, and other ecosystem participants. Guilherme competed in the opening bout of the six-fight card. Although he did not win the match, he described it as a great fight and emphasized that the event was an overall success. Brave Leo Update Updates from @gnukeith Keith shared an update on Brave Focus Mode, noting that it is currently available for purchase behind a feature flag. He explained that the implementation does not yet meet the team's quality standards, which is why it has not been enabled by default and remains a flag. Keith also provided an update on Kimi K3 integration with Brave Leo. While the model is not yet available in Leo, he explained that because Kimi K3 is open source, he plans to experiment with distilling it into a smaller, more efficient model. This work is intended to support an upcoming initiative that the team believes will be particularly relevant in the near future. 👉 brave://flags/#brave-focus-mode Brave Origin Update Updates from @gnukeith Keith highlighted several X posts showcasing community feedback on Brave Origin, noting that the feature has gained significant traction, particularly within the Linux community, where interest has been especially strong. He also shared that Brave Origin has been very well received overall, with many users expressing interest in seeing it released as a standalone feature on iOS and Android. Keith said he plans to continue advocating for expanding support to those platforms. Futurist Blockchain Conference Updates from @taxninja Drew shared highlights from Brave's participation as a sponsor at the Futurist Blockchain Conference in Toronto, Canada. Drew and BAT Ambassador Alex (@aranyaka_) represented Brave and BAT at the event, where they hosted an outdoor cabana booth to engage with attendees. Drew also spoke on the conference's main stage, presenting an overview of Brave and discussing the vision and key initiatives outlined in the BAT Roadmap 4.0. Alex shared his perspective from the event, noting that attendees were familiar with Brave's work and were particularly interested in learning more about the company's direction for 2026. He emphasized that maintaining a presence at major industry events is valuable, as many participants wanted to hear more about Brave's strategy and its growing role within the crypto ecosystem. The Brave merchandise was extremely popular among attendees. Items such as T-shirts and mugs were claimed almost immediately on the first day of the conference, requiring the team to distribute different promotional items on the second day due to the high demand. Misc Community Updates Updates from @taxninja Drew reminded the community that he will be attending Rare EVO in Las Vegas later this week, where he will continue representing Brave and BAT. Currently, there are 1,254 stakers, with 509K $BAT locked in Guanocoin’s BAT Cave. Brave Leo: Bring Your Own Model (BYOM) Updates from @bat_paulas The tutorial for Brave Leo's Bring Your Own Model (BYOM) feature has now been shared on Brave's X account, helping raise awareness of the feature and directing users to the full video tutorial.
