The blockchain-based Brave browser made an important change in the Referral program for security reasons following the project's announcement on Friday. After the update, Brave will no longer offer this program in 5 countries gia.
Brave's referral program was launched in 2018 to reward online publishers valued at up to $ 1 million BAT to stimulate growth worldwide.
The program recorded more than 8 million active users globally in October 2019 and by May 2020, the figure reached 15 million.
Since its launch, Brave's referral program has exceeded the goal of $ 1 million BAT when considering the number of users on the platform.
However, Brave has reported very high rates of fraud in recent times in certain areas on the Referral Program platform.
“They said: we discovered this fraudulent activity before paying any BAT. But to ensure the referral program continues for legitimate Brave referrals, we must take action. ”
Considering the large number of fraudulent activities concentrated in specific areas, Brave thinks it would be appropriate to stop the service in five countries: Indonesia, China, Russia, Vietnam and Ukraine. The ban takes effect on Thursday, June 11, 2020.
The browser notes that this adjustment decision will affect not only the referral program but also all creators in and around the regions listed. During this time, they are advised to adhere to referral campaigns.
Furthermore, the active content creator will be required to verify the Uphold account ID to continue using the referral program as the content creator.
Meanwhile, Brave subscribers who are not affected by the change are encouraged to freely use the Brave Browser anywhere in the world.
