[9.16.2022 UPDATE]
Additional Collections for the areas near Porto will be revealed on Monday, September 19 at 8 AM PT. As with other releases, the process of revealing Collections is outlined below:
- Right before the announcement, we will lock any unminted properties that are part of collections.
- We will then reveal the collection and the collection key (allowing players to confirm the collection on the blockchain).
- Unminted properties that match the announced collections, will then be repriced based on the collection level they match.
- An hour after the announcement, the unminted properties will be unlocked again for minting.
As a precaution, make sure to double-check your marketplace properties before the announcement to ensure you don’t sell them below collection-modified value. It may be safer to temporarily remove them from the marketplace before the announcement is made and the collections are revealed.
Good luck and check back here to see the Collections once they have been revealed.

Porto, also known as Cidade Invicata (or Invincible City) is living up to its name! Being one of the fastest city openings for property sales we’ve ever seen, we’re excited to give Uplanders more of what they want. And clearly that is more Porto!

A Note on Collections
As with other city releases and property expansions, any properties part of an Ultra Rare Collection will be locked and not available for minting.

Porto Travel Guide
Backed by popular demand, we have added a direct plane route between Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (GIG) and Lisbon, Portugal (LIS). This route is available now at the respective international terminals which are noted by a yellow plane icon. Keep in mind that once you land in Lisbon, you will need to take a train to Porto before being able to send your Block Explorer to locations within the Porto region.
