What is Upland?
Built at the intersection of the real and virtual world, Upland gives you the power to buy, sell and trade virtual properties based on real-world addresses, just like the one you live at today… but in the virtual world. The digital properties you collect in Upland don’t have any association or rights to the correlating properties in the real world, however, the addresses do mirror real-life locations. Upland’s economy is powered by an in-game currency called UPX (pronounced “UP-EX”). More on that a little later…
What makes Upland different?
Because it’s powered by blockchain technology, the property you collect in Upland is truly yours. You can sell it. Trade it. Keep it forever. Whatever you wish–it’s 100% yours!
Unlike traditional collectibles, so-called non-fungible tokens (NFTs) offer true ownership, with provable scarcity and authenticity. Each digital property on Upland is completely unique and visible on the EOS Blockchain.
We have also worked hard to make the complex technicalities of the underlying blockchain technology invisible to the player, and to make the game accessible to play using fiat currency for both acquiring and selling assets. We eliminated the traditional barriers which typically stop people entering the blockchain space, like setting up a crypto wallet. We also simplified our sign-up process where players only need their email address to get started.
Whether you want to focus on owning virtual real estate, have fun developing your properties once the game progresses or just admire your unique collectibles, with Upland you have the power to create an exhilarating new reality on the blockchain.
