Crypto-powered web browser, Brave, has halted its referral program for users in China, Russia, Indonesia, Vietnam and Ukraine after detecting “a high number of fraudulent referrers” in those regions, according to a June 11 announcement.
Brave’s referral program allows content makers to earn Basic Attention Token (BAT (LON:BATS)) — utility tokens that run on the Ethereum blockchain — for getting new users to download the browser via unique referral codes.
