Upland is the earth’s metaverse mapped to the real world, accessible via web, iOS & Android. Moreover, there’s a “real economy” sustained by players via the market forces of supply & demand. Upland is built on the basis of 3 key pillars: Play, Earn, & Connect.
Hello, Product Hunt! Big thanks to @bramk for hunting us. We’re very excited to launch Upland here on Product Hunt.
Ever since we started Upland, we’ve had the mission of providing a platform where the lines between the virtual and real world are blurred. We built Upland on blockchain technology, with an aim to bring a Metaversal platform to our users that nurtures a micro-economy with our Play-to-Earn Model.
The Metaverse brings a deeper meaning to the ownership of NFTs, allowing players to give digital items actual utility. Within the Metaverse, utility is given to NFTs, rather than having an NFT simply sit in your wallet. These NFTs are given a place, context, and a chance for social interactions to take place around them. Upland players can buy and sell properties in 13 US cities such as San Francisco, Nashville, Chicago, and Manhattan, but we’re accessible from anywhere in the world.
We also have a licensing agreement with the NFLPA, bringing Football Players to the metaverse. Mint rare Football Player NFTs, build up your Fan Score, trade with other players, and more.
With the recent introduction of our NFT Portal beta, players can currently import Upland Collectibles: Blockchain Heroes NFTs from the WAX blockchain into the Metaverse. Soon, players will be able to import NFTs into Upland from other blockchains, such as Ethereum.
Upland was built on 3 key principles: Play, Earn and Connect.
Play: Become one of the first digital land owners in Upland’s OPEN BETA by purchasing a virtual property mapped to a real-world address. Receive special rewards by completing signature property collections, participating in daily treasure hunts, and competing in live events!
Earn: Start out by earning a return on your properties and collecting fees from visitors. Feeling ambitious? Flip some of your properties for profit in our free and open marketplace or generate income by becoming a business owner in Upland. Around 2 million NFTs have been sold in the Upland metaverse to date! Furthermore, players can earn real money through our NFT-to-USD program, by placing their NFTs up for sale for US Dollars. Very soon, the introduction of player-run, in-game businesses will allow players to trade and sell NFTs with others.
Connect: Socialize with fellow Uplanders, learn game strategies, and collaborate with the most outstanding online gaming community today. Soon, you’ll join Uplanders inside the metaverse’s virtual hang-out spaces.
Lastly, Upland is taking it to the next level with our Series A fundraising round of $18m led by Animoca Brands! We’d like to take a moment to say a big thank you to our community, we couldn’t have done this without you. We’re thrilled to continue developing and bringing the metaverse to you.

I’m “All In”!
I started (investing) in Upland before Chicago launched and before Santa Clara.
Hope it pays off in the future.
I want to leave a legacy for my future family and Upland will contribute to that legacy.
Amazing team, traction (2M NFTs sold to-date!), and product. Very excited about the upcoming roadmap: particularly the full feature set related to Portal, car NFTs, and businesses. Congratulations on the launch today. Lots to be proud of and celebrate.
I absolutely love upland, and all that it can become. I believe in upland because it is the only company building a metaverse based on the real world that I've seen. Unfortunately at the moment there is not much to do in the form of gamification so users must be patient while waiting on these features to arrive. The absolute best part of upland is the community, it differs from any other game I've experienced as most if not all of the other more experienced players are helpful and very supportive. They have no issues sharing strategies to improve the player experience, Overall I'm extremely bullish on Upland and hope this game will stand the tests of time. I Hope my feedback will give the necessary push you need to join the community!
@mtgox24 thank you for the comment and for being a part of the community Mark. It's great to hear your feedback, and to continue developing and taking Upland to the next level!

Upland is an amazing game. Lots of big plans in the future and I have never met a better community on discord. Sometimes I find browsing all the information on discord more fun then actually playing the game. Did I mention new players have a distinct advantage with FSA properties. You should go buy some before its gone.
Great product, really enjoying playing the game and learning to understand what the metaverse can be. Involved in projects with fellow players and buying and selling properties when possible. It was nice to meet you Dirk at the NFT NYC conference and at Lazy Llama. Keep up the good work.
@greatvibes10 It was great to meet you too, thank you for the kind words. Very glad you're enjoying the metaverse!

What a wonderful application! The creators have built a micro economy unlike any other. It paves the way not only for NFTs to become more mainstream but also for market research and analytics capabilities that can be monetized or used for economic research. This app is a WIN!!!
