What is Upland?
It is a blockchain-powered EOS metaverse that allows players to own virtual properties that are mapped to real-world addresses. Upland launched in San Francisco in 2019 and recently expanded to New York City, NY and Fresno, CA with the planned addition of new cities arriving in the near future. Note that you don't have to be in one of these cities to play Upland, it can be played from anywhere in the world.
Upland follows the principles of an open market economy and uses blockchain technology to ensure true ownership of digital technology. Assets - Once you buy a property, it is yours forever. Each parcel of property is a unique NFT that can be bought, sold and traded for profit using the in-game currency called UPX. Upland has an active partnership with Tilia that allows players to sell NFT properties for US dollars. While it is currently in beta, this feature will soon be available to all Uplan residents. This makes Upland the first metaverse that enables the conversion of the value of digital assets into fiat money in the form of real world value.
As a digital land owner in Upland, you get a monthly return of UPX coins that can be used to buy more properties. Upland's Product Roadmap focuses on user-driven development and construction of single-family homes, real businesses and cultural centers, including art galleries, on its NFT-owned parcels. The future is very bright in Upland and just like in the real world, they also love to celebrate holidays like Christmas! In fact, Upland has launched its 10 Days of Christmas event festival. In both the Upland app and your Discord server, fun challenges will run daily where you can win rare UPX and NFT.
How does it work
Players can list their property for sale in the US dollar market. A US dollar account is created in the background to store sales revenue through Tilia. This requires KYC verification (know your customer's anti-money laundering technology), similar to the process of an online bank or PayPal.
Once a property is sold, Uplanders can withdraw the dollars directly to their personal PayPal account. Trump Tower was auctioned in Upland on Election Day for UPX 2.6 million. It remains to be seen how many dollars they will be worth in actual US dollars.
