This is the most commonly asked question by new Uplanders. Here
are the main ways in which you can currently interact with
Upland:
Collect properties:
every property in Upland is a non-fungible token, meaning they
are uniquely minted on the blockchain and no two are the same.
These are, in essence, “real” digital properties that cannot
be duplicated. As Upland develops and expands, and many people
spend more time in it, the novelty of simply owning and
collecting properties you enjoy may grow on you. Perhaps you
want to own the virtual location of a place that has
sentimental value to you. On the other hand, we know of one
Uplander who collects addresses that begin with the number “1”
– I guess he really likes them. It’s really up to you!
Complete collections: in
your Collections Menu, you will find collections that you can
strive to complete. Each collection grants you a one-time UPX
reward, a neat little badge in your personal profile, and a
colored coin in your “UPX Stack” (part of your
explorer/avatar). The starting collections are easier to
finish, but you’ll find that the more challenging ones
involving rarer properties will require you to
bargain, negotiate and cut deals
with your fellow Uplanders in order to acquire them.
Compete in challenges: time sensitive events that show up from time to time, which
may include, for instance, owning the most properties in a
certain neighborhood within 48 hours, or having the most
trades by a certain date.
Participate in treasure hunts:
there are three tiers of treasure hunts explained in the
Treasure Hunts section. These are great for some immediate
action or if you are feeling confident enough to snag some
extra UPX before the other participants.
Participate in live events:
these are challenges, contests and hunts we carry out on
special occasions that span all of our social media channels
and groups. Keep a sharp eye on our
Twitter feed
and
join our Discord
to stay informed.
