Upland brings us a fantastic new gaming experience that is breaking down the boundaries of virtual property! This article will talk about the advantages and specialties of this application and how you can start playing it too! Traditional games usually provide simulated economies controlled by the game creators. We all have at least once downloaded an application with the classic in app purchases, which were nothing more than a boost to implement the various features of the game. Classic games do not allow people to try and verify the origin of the virtual currency which, through fiat currency, is bought by users in order to reach the highest levels of the game faster; this is unsatisfactory and can lead to fraud, reducing additional incentives for players to spend and create in a game file. Through the blockchain system (now known to all of us) gaming economies can capitalize on the main advantages of blockchain technology. Such as: true ownership and transparent record of records and trustless transfer of value. The blockchain allows for the creation of fungible tokens that serve as a bearer tool that complements or, in an increasing number of cases, acts as a substitute for fiat money. The success and growing enthusiasm for Bitcoin and alternative cryptocurrencies are confirming that there is a demand for non-fiat money that can fulfill the basic economic functions of the currency, that is, it acts as a medium of exchange, unit of account and reserve of value. Fungible tokens are an obvious measure to implement game currencies in an open market economy scenario. In addition to fungible tokens, blockchain offers the ability to create non-fungible tokens (NFTs) that represent unique and demonstrable collectibles. NFTs are used for digital arts, digital properties, and other applications where each negotiable NFT has its own unique attributes and value. NFTs can be assigned to unique accounts. People can feel confident that they really own an original asset and can verify ownership on a public blockchain. The goal of the game is to accumulate wealth in the form of property and currency. Leaderboards will help players compare themselves to their peers. Mountain properties are scarce resources - each property is unique and can only be held by one player at a time. Right now, the game mode actually only allows you to buy or trade properties; In the future, owners will also be able to develop their land in many creative ways. Upland is a game that appeals to a variety of players, driven by different motivations: ? Owning the same property in both real life and Upland ? Negotiation, negotiation and property management ? Satisfaction with completing collections ? Location-based experiences fun to play ? Appreciation of in-game collectibles, similar to real-life collectibles and art. limited edition ? Participation in a parallel economy where decentralized transactions between stakeholders enable a complete new type of value creation and exchange Upland will provide two types of tokens: 1. "UPX" in-game currency: a fungible token on the EOS mainnet. UPX can be purchased in the Store with fiat currency through third party suppliers. Purchase of UPX with cryptocurrencies are planned for the near future. 2. Virtual properties: a non-fungible token (NFT) on the EOS mainnet that maps to real world addresses. NFT properties in Upland are scarce because the surface geography of the world is finite. Initially, properties can be exchanged on the Upland market for UPX or other properties. Market transactions in fiat are planned for the foreseeable future with cryptocurrencies coming later. But now let's see how to physically start playing. Our simple registration process begins with an e-mail registration. Visit upland.me on your browser or download the apps from the App Store or Google Play and follow the registration instructions: - iPhone - Android - Mobile web browser New Upland players will see a video tutorial that will walk them through all of Upland's features. The tutorial can also be played in the Settings section. Block Explorer Your first mission will be to select a Block Explorer. Block explorers are Upland's trusted companions and are the key to unlocking all the fun and pranks the game has to offer. A Block Explorer acts as your alter ego on the map and takes you on a journey through the city, randomly, allowing you to purchase all the available properties it encounters for only a limited time. Once selected, your Block Explorer will drop at a random starting location in San Francisco (or Fresco, depending on which city you decide to start with) UPX After selecting your Block Explorer, new players will receive 3,000 UPX as an initial bonus (or 6000 with the registration link on publishox) UPX can be purchased in fixed quantities from the Upland store, located in the upper right corner of the app. Players will also collect UPX earnings on their properties every three hours and can increase these earnings by completing collections. New Upland players will start with "Visitor" status and will need to accumulate a net worth of 10,000 UPX to become an "Uplander" and enjoy true ownership of their digital assets. Visitors will need to renew their Upland visa at least once every seven days to retain ownership of their digital assets. There is no limit to the number of times you can renew your Upland visa. If a Visitor does not renew their visa within seven days, an additional one day grace period will be added. If the visa is not renewed, the Visitor's assets (all property acquired and the UPX balance) will be laundered in favor of the gaming economy. We have added some useful features to help you navigate the mountain map. Players can select the Compass button on the bottom left of the app and find the following: ? Explorer: find the current location of Block Explorer ? Places of Interest - Check out properties with unique characteristics ? Marketplace: Enable and disable resale property pins How to buy property There are currently two ways to find and buy property in Upland: ?

Available properties will be indicated in green and can be clicked to purchase for a limited time only. Once selected, players can press the "BUY" button, the property will be minted on the blockchain and - "soon" - you will be the proud owner of a newly minted Upland property. Your deeds will be available every time you click on your property and you can even see your NFT on the EOS blockchain! ?
