Upland has announced its Airdrop “Share and Build” program in anticipation of the launch of its token on Ethereum. The cryptocurrency game is gearing up for the debut of the Sparklet token and is offering rewards to users through game missions and social media interactions.

Let’s see below all the details. 

Upland Airdrop Strategy: Launching the Ethereum Token

As anticipated, Upland, a game of cryptocurrencies based on real-world locations around the world, announced on Friday the launch of the first phase of the “Share and Build” airdrop series.

The goal is to reward both existing community members and new users who engage with the Upland platform before the launch of its token on Ethereum.

The first chapter of the series will allow users to earn Sparklet tokens, used within the game to build buildings and create content, by participating in activities on social media and missions within the application for a period of three weeks.

Last November, Upland, based on EOS, announced plans to launch an Ethereum token linked to the Sparklet game token. 

The whitepaper detailing these plans has been submitted to the community vote, with 87% of users voting in favor of the proposal.

The token commercialization event (TTE) will follow the airdrop campaign, allowing users to convert the in-game Sparklet currency into a tradable Ethereum token.

Airdrop and NFT: expanding the gaming experience in the metaverse

Dirk Lueth, co-founder and co-CEO of Upland, stated the following: 

“We are excited to launch the ‘Share and Build’ airdrop series as we prepare for the Sparklet event. This initiative aligns perfectly with our vision to promote a thriving Web3 ecosystem and reward passionate players.”

The first phase of the launch campaign offers 10 different reward levels, with user engagement levels and social statistics on Twitter determining their point multipliers. 

Furthermore, selected Upland partner users will receive “point boosts” to increase their earnings.

In addition, each completed chapter of the airdrop will guarantee participants a unique NFT Block Explorer, which will serve as a gaming element within Upland. 

By accumulating five of these awards, you will gain access to an exclusive NFT to use in the world of Upland.

We remind you that Upland originated in 2019 as a property trading game, with digital versions of real assets tokenized and sold within the game. 

Over time, it has evolved into a solid metaverse, offering vehicles, events, and other gaming opportunities. Last November, Upland raised $7 million in a Series A extension round.

Revenues for Upland players in 2023 and more 

Upland has generated approximately $13.5 million in revenue for players in 2023, establishing itself as a growing digital economy and an economic hub in the Web3.

Revenues are withdrawn in USD via PayPal in collaboration with Tilia, a payment solution offered by Second Life, another Metaverse platform. Additionally, players can withdraw their funds using Upland’s native UPX.

The co-CEO and co-founder of Upland, Dirk Lueth, shared this information in a press release with NFTgators, stating: 

“The platform has over 3 million registered users with active participation, turning Upland into an immersive digital economy.”

Playing and selling virtual properties on Upland has allowed uplanders to make millions in profits, while the platform has formed partnerships with entities such as FIFA, UNICEF Brazil, and Susan G. Komen. 

Upland emerges as a symbol of the power of GamiFi, true ownership, and engaging digital economy.

Furthermore, Upland has announced progress in the ecosystem of user-generated content (UGC), open to all individuals. 

The platform offers players the opportunity to verify the size of the property and the potential to adapt to different structures, welcoming valuable user feedback.

The video of the roadmap for the first quarter of 2024, published on January 10, 2024, reveals that Upland will focus on automotive transportation, car races, Sparklet, and renewed seasons.

Upland, the EOS-based metaverse, has announced its first bundle sale in Ethereum (ETH) only. 

Players will be able to obtain rewards and have unique experiences. At the same time, the idea is to encourage users to connect their wallets to MetaMask, in view of the launch of the Sparklet token. 

Upland: the EOS-based metaverse and the sale of its first bundle in Ethereum (ETH) 

Upland, the Play-To-Earn metaverse developed on the EOS blockchain, has announced the launch of its first Ethereum (ETH) bundle, albeit with some delay. 

Due to technical issues, we need to delay the ETH-only bundle sale by a few days.

Unfortunately, the issue will require players to re-register once resolved. We appreciate your patience as we work to fix the issue, and will announce when registration reopens. Thank you, all! https://t.co/MjGZNCPzTn

“Due to technical issues, we have to delay the sale of the ETH bundle by a few days. Unfortunately, once the problem is resolved, players will have to register again. We appreciate your patience as we work to resolve the issue and will announce the reopening of registrations. Thank you all!”

We would like to announce a significant step forward in our sales: the introduction of an ETH sale! This will allow you to get your hands on exclusive Beverly Hills properties, lost properties, Spark, and even landmarks!

Through the bundle of only Ethereum (ETH), players can obtain unique rewards and experiences. However, in order to access the ETH bundle, linking your wallet to MetaMask is required.

In practice, the metaverse dedicated to buying and selling properties, wanted to develop a strategy that encourages its users to connect their wallets to MetaMask, in anticipation of the future launch of the Sparklet token. 

The offer will be available in the store for the next few weeks, although, due to an unresolved issue, users will be required to make a new registration on the portal. 

Upland: the metaverse encourages transactions in Ethereum (ETH) ahead of the launch of Sparklet

The new Sparklet coming soon is a utility token and will serve creators to build valuable content in the metaverse. On the official website, Sparklet is described as follows:

“Sparklet is the necessary resource for entrepreneurs to create content, experiences, and goods through easy-to-use codeless tools.”

To access the new token, users will need to use the MetaMask wallet. That’s why the ETH bundle is an invitation to the crypto-community to integrate their wallets with MetaMask. 

Anyway, Upland also specifies that each bundle is carefully curated, to include high-value properties integrated with the spark bonus. 

To make it even more exclusive, Upland has made the ETH bundle the only way for players to access the properties of Beverly Hills in the metaverse.

The ranking of the top blockchain games and the comparison with Axie Infinity

In June 2022, Upland had surpassed the famous Ethereum-blockchain game Axie Infinity, ranking in fourth position in the top blockchain games chart.

Currently, according to DappRadar data, Upland has dropped to 21st place. This ranking considers the Unique Active Wallet (UAW) data, with Upland currently recording over 21,000 UAW.

Nevertheless, Upland is still above the popular game Ethereum-blockchain Axie Infinity. In fact, today, Axie Infinity is ranked 25th with over 17,000 UAW.

Upland, the Play-to-Earn metaverse developed on the EOS blockchain dedicated to the buying and selling of properties, each represented by a unique NFT, has surpassed Axie Infinity’s famous game in terms of growth in the last 24 hours. 

Upland: the Play-to-Earn metaverse about buying and selling real estate

According to data from DappRadar, Upland’s Play-to-Earn metaverse, the game dedicated to buying and selling real estate using NFTs, has today overtaken the famous Axie Infinity in the last 24 hours, placing it in 4th position in the ranking of the top games on blockchain. 

Not only that, looking at the overall ranking of Top Blockchain dApps, Upland comes in 8th position. 

Founded in June 2019 in Silicon Valley, Upland has grown significantly year on year in its evolution from a real estate buying and selling game to a feature-rich metaverse focused on an economy driven by entrepreneurs and creators. 

In its fastest growth since May 2021, the number of properties minted on the platform increased by more than 300%, while registered users reached 2.5 million in May 2022.

Upland is developed on the EOS blockchain and offers the opportunity for its players to earn NFTs and digital properties with fiat value, all while playing and meeting other players. 

How to play in the Upland metaverse

Upland was born as a metaverse for buying and selling property and building cities, based on the Play-to-Earn approach, a formula that, thanks to the blockchain (in this case of EOS), allows players to earn money by playing. 

Basically, through the game’s native UPX currency, players can mint a series of NFTs that are fully tradable on the open market, both in USD and UPX. According to estimates, players have earned over $1.5 million through Upland to date. 

Another peculiarity of the Upland game is that it is also a social experiment. Indeed, there is a community of tens of thousands of Uplanders who contribute to creating a metaverse culture based on collaboration, competition and innovation. 

Among Upland’s various partnerships, an important one is the one with the National Football League Players Association (NFLPA), pursued also in 2022. 

We’re thrilled to continue our partnership with the @NFLPA to bring football player NFTs to the metaverse!

Environmental sustainability is a priority for Upland

A commitment of Upland and its community is to be active in environmental sustainability. 

As a matter of fact, Upland has offset all carbon emissions from the use of Amazon Web Services (AWS) servers by purchasing 115 tonnes of carbon credits with the goal of achieving historical zero in AWS usage. 

Upland is also partnering with Carbonfuture for its carbon credits, which it defines as real, measurable, permanent and verified. 

In terms of sustainability and blockchain, the property buying and selling metaverse has partnered with EOS Authority and ClimateCare in 2021, to offset one year of carbon emissions for the entire public EOS network.

EOS is a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) blockchain, which in itself produces a smaller carbon footprint than the Proof-of-Work (PoW) of Bitcoin and even Ethereum. In fact, in terms of tonnes of CO2 per year, EOS produces 281, compared to BTC’s 59,890,000 and ETH’s 23,470,000. 

Among its future goals, Upland has announced that it wants to become a carbon-negative company, offsetting all historical and future emissions from its entire business.
