Economic Fireside Chat with the Co-Founders!

As the community gets ready to vote on the first Upland Improvement Proposal, or UIP-1, Co-Founders Dirk Lueth and Idan Zuckerman will discuss the Upland economy in the Economic Fireside Chat to give players key insights directly from the top!

‍

The fireside chat will be held on YouTube at 3 PM PT on November 7. Attendees should expect to hear Dirk and Idan answer questions (some taken from community feedback on the UIP-1 Reddit post) about the economy and go through the rationale and importance of UIP-1. 

‍

With UIP-1 calling for a new economic model that changes how the Upland Pool receives funds in this metaverse economy, it’s important to help players see how UIP-1 improves the economy’s efficiency. The Co-Founders want to help everyone understand the short- and long-term benefits of UIP-1 before voting opens to players. 

‍

Note: This is the perfect time for players to get ready to vote. To qualify for voting, players must complete KYC identity verification and have an Upland Home Address. KYC may take a few days to complete, so be sure to start the process so you can vote! 

‍

The Economic Fireside Chat is the perfect primer for the UIP-1 Community Town Hall coming on November 8. In this town hall, any attendee can ask Dirk and Idan questions about UIP-1.
