Property Development and Spark Buildings
It’s official, Property Development is on its way to Upland! This is something we’ve been planning since the beginning of Upland, and we’re happy to let you know that it’s now available!
Property development is bringing a bunch of exciting opportunities to the Upland metaverse. Players will soon be able to see the world’s first digital economy come into fruition, in the form of building construction, the introduction of in-game businesses, as well as new and unique ways for you to earn even more UPX and a brand new resource token called Spark.
That’s right: you will now be able to develop your own buildings, decorate them in your way, and trade your land with the structure NFTs you’ve built included.
Spark (USPK) is the token and the mechanism that will now be used for all kinds of exciting things in Upland, from building your properties to helping you get creative in an infinite number of ways, opening up more economic possibilities in the future.
Spark is a token staked on the EOS main net, meaning that the owners of the token will enjoy the benefits of True Ownership.
This means that your Spark will be entirely yours, letting you decide how you want to use it. USPK is the second fungible token introduced into the Upland Metaverse, the first being UPX.
Spark Token
Spark (USPK) is the token and the mechanism that is used for all kinds of exciting things in Upland, from building your properties to helping you get creative in an infinite number of ways, opening up many more economic possibilities in the future.
Spark is a crypto token on the EOS main net, meaning that the owners of the token will enjoy the benefits of True Ownership. This means that your Spark will be entirely yours, letting you decide how you want to use it.
Spark is a utility token that is staked rather than spent, meaning that rather than having to spend your Spark in order to utilize it, it can be staked and received back once that activity is completed.
Structure NFT
Spark is what you will need to build a structure NFT in Upland. Yes, every structure in Upland will be a Structure NFT. This gives the building’s developer true ownership over the asset, allowing them to expand their NFT assets even further than before.
The Structure NFTs are tethered to the property on which they are built. If the owner of the structure wants to trade their property parcel in the future, their Structure NFT will be included in that sale. This follows real-life logic; if you buy a parcel of land with a building on it, you take ownership of the building as well.
We have also refined our graphics, enhancing the appearance of in-game structures drastically. These enhancements include: the addition of shadows, softening of colors, lighting effects, and improving the level of details that each model carries.
This is a huge step forward for the Upland Metaverse! You are now able to let your creativity come to life more than ever.
We even introduced a mode for players that don’t have high CPU power; if you play on an older device, toggling off the enhanced graphics feature in the settings page will allow the Metaverse to continue rendering accurately. This mode will work much better on all types of devices, and still allows all players to enjoy the game to its fullest.
Acquiring Spark
Since Spark is such a valuable resource in Upland, we want to ensure that it is distributed fairly. We want active players to be rewarded. Initially, as a gift from Upland to you for participating in our beta phase and taking part in being some of the game’s early adopters, Spark will be given out through a community airdrop!
It will be easy for you to pick up; you’ll see a pop-up when you enter Upland, and the Spark has to be accepted by you in order for it to be registered on your blockchain account.
The Spark community airdrop will be happening during Upland’s Genesis Week from June 7th to June 12th 2021. This week serves to commemorate Upland’s history as a metaverse and will feature a variety of events, giveaways, and livestreams.
Make sure that you join Upland as soon as possible with this link that gives you 6,000 UPX and claim your Spark during the airdrop, and hop onto Upland’s Discord to keep track of all Genesis Week events!
In the future, we will make Spark available for sale, giving you a chance to register for the sale, so a set amount of the token is injected into the economy at once. And don’t forget: since Spark is staked rather than spent, every Spark Token that you earn, purchase, or compete for, will be yours forever!
