*‐structures on quantum and braided spaces of the type defined via an R‐matrix are studied. These include q‐Minkowski and q‐Euclidean spaces as additive braided groups. The duality between the *‐braided groups of vectors and covectors is proved and some first applications to braided geometry are made.
