@ohridJO restrictions on connecting are based on decisions both by Uphold themselves and Brave’s antifraud teams, among other things. Countries that are able to use Uphold but not connect Rewards to Uphold usually are not permitted either because of regulations in the area, high amounts of fraud in those regions, or any number of other reasons that I’m not thinking of and/or can’t share.
The other thing to keep in mind is that Brave currently is putting a priority focus on getting away from requiring custodial partners like Uphold and shifting to on chain payouts. This means we get paid directly to any crypto wallet we want, including Brave Wallet. It’s just taking time to happen as they are working out the kinks, including having Solana stabilize more. Currently transactions on Solana are still getting dropped and having some difficulties.
If not sure what I mean about on chain payouts, you may want to check out all the links I share over at PSA: Current and upcoming changes to Rewards and Creators
