1 **Introduction**
Previously, Brave was limited to Uphold, a digital wallet service that wasn't available in all countries. However, Brave decided to expand its capabilities to allow users to enjoy their own Brave wallet, regardless of their geographic location.
2 **Initial Limitations**
Initially, the integration with Uphold limited Brave's use in certain countries where Uphold wasn't available. This created a barrier for users who wanted to use the Brave browser with all its features.
3 **Feature Expansion**
Brave decided to expand its features to allow users to use their own Brave wallet. This decision opened access to more users worldwide, allowing them to fully enjoy Brave's capabilities.
