Las Vegas Stress Test

‍Help us prepare for the release of Las Vegas by participating in the Las Vegas Stress Test starting on June 7th at 8:00 AM PT.

At 8:00 AM PT, the Stress Test will begin with the unlocking of all properties in the Winchester neighborhood. Players will be encouraged to mint as many properties as possible during the test to create a high volume of activity. The more you mint, the better your chances of winning!
At 8:05 AM PT, Treasures will begin to appear on minted properties throughout the neighborhood, with Treasures spawning every 5 minutes. While most Treasures will grant enough UPX rewards to cover send fees, each Treasure has a chance to contain 10k UPX!
‍At 8:15 AM PT, Sends are dropped in Las Vegas (these should only spawn in the test neighborhood).
At 8:30 AM PT, the last wave of Treasures will spawn.
‍The Stress Test will end at 8:45 AM PT.

‍

Note: Treasures that spawn during this stress test will NOT be visible using the Treasure Hunting indicator found on the property details menu.

Genesis Week is right around the corner, which means it’s nearly time for a brand new city to land in the metaverse. We’re incredibly excited to announce that we will be releasing Las Vegas, Nevada, LIVE while we are celebrating in the city itself on Friday, June 10th, at 10:00 AM PT!

TL;DR

Celebrate Genesis Week with the very first In-Person City Opening!
Las Vegas City Release Details (Terminal Sale & Schedule)

‍

City openings are among the most popular events in the Upland metaverse, and we are so incredibly excited to celebrate live and in-person with our community for the very first time! In honor of Genesis Week, we are seeking to further bridge the digital and physical worlds with in-person engagements. This creates the unique experience of in-person attendees minting the city that they are actually in! We will be supporting our online audience with an intimate stream featuring members of the Upland team, meaning you’ll get the unique experience of watching them live in action. It’s sure to be a release for the ages!

‍

Las Vegas will be released with a modified strategy where properties will unlock gradually. This means that the initial opening will include 77k props, and will only expand depending on market demand.

‍

As always, all collections will be tokenized prior to the release of Las Vegas. After the initial release, all collections related to the released properties will be revealed. The remaining collections will be held until the remaining parts of Vegas are unlocked. Any collection properties that cover locked and unlocked properties will be re-priced at release to reflect market value.

Las Vegas Release Details

Las Vegas is currently planned to release on Friday, June 10th, at 10:00 AM PT, and roughly ~20% of properties will be reserved under the “Fair Start Act” (FSA). As with most recent city releases, Las Vegas will be released in “Vanilla mode”, and collections that are included in the initial release will be revealed 1 week after the release. The release of Las Vegas will be preceded by a stress test on Tuesday, June 7th, at 8:00 AM PT.
