Accepted Answer

The Grove Chrome extension adds a Tip button to creator profiles and content on X (Twitter), YouTube, Substack, and TikTok. It works in Chrome, Brave, Edge, Arc, and other Chromium-based browsers. Creators don't need to install anything — they just add their wallet address to their bio.

Question 5

How much does Grove cost?

Accepted Answer

Signing up and creating a profile is free. Creators keep 90%+ of tips (small protocol fee). Tippers pay the face value of their tip plus small gas fees. The minimum tip amount is $0.01. Adding funds is free for crypto transfers, with standard processing fees for card payments.

Question 6

How is Grove different from Patreon or Ko-fi?

Accepted Answer

Unlike Patreon, Ko-fi, or Buy Me a Coffee, Grove works across every platform via a browser extension — creators don't need to host content on Grove's platform. Unlike Brave Rewards (BAT-only, Brave browser only), Grove works in any Chromium browser and supports multiple payment methods. Grove is the only tipping platform with native AI agent support via API and CLI.
