Launched in 2019, Upland is an immersive layer 1 gaming platform that uses virtual properties of the real world to engage players, creators, entrepreneurs, developers, and brands like FIFA or the NFL PA. The platform leverages the principles of the open metaverse to create a digital economy where users participate in various game loops and activities, earn in-game currency, and socialize with others in a vibrant community. Third-party developers can connect their Web2 and Web3 applications to the platform, benefiting from Upland's infrastructure, user base, and economy. Upland runs on the EOS blockchain, providing a secure and scalable environment for its ecosystem. SPARKLET is Upland's native utility token. It is an ERC-20 token that can be bridged to and from EOS starting in July 2024.
