<p>Upland released two massive announcements recently: the grand opening of Paris in its metaverse and the exclusive listing of its first-ever tradable token, SPARKLET, on the Bitget cryptocurrency exchange.</p><h2><strong>Upland Adds the City of Lights</strong></h2><p>Upland allows players to buy, sell, and trade virtual properties mapped to real-world locations. The introduction of Paris, just in time for the 2024 Olympics, has been a massive move, and the developers aimed to make the process as accessible as possible.</p><figure class="image"><img src="https://assets.funjible.games/arc_de_triomphe_1283422_640_3b5ea80bf3.jpg" alt="arc-de-triomphe-1283422_640.jpg" srcset="https://assets.funjible.games/thumbnail_arc_de_triomphe_1283422_640_3b5ea80bf3.jpg 234w,https://assets.funjible.games/small_arc_de_triomphe_1283422_640_3b5ea80bf3.jpg 500w," sizes="100vw"></figure><p>Before the city opens its doors, there will be a property pre-sale, allowing players to purchase about 25% of the new Paris properties directly from the store using UPX (the in-game currency) or USD. The pre-sale includes various tiers of properties, from low-priced options at 16,000 UPX to high-priced properties at 83,000 UPX. A special "Deluxe Bundle" priced at $99 offers a chance to acquire landmark properties. These bundles are limited in quantity.</p><p>Players looking for more inexpensive properties can rejoice as <a href="https://funjible.games/games/Upland">Upland</a> revealed it is also launching the starter city of Saint-Denise at this time as well. Players looking for more detailed info, such as dates and specific properties, can check out Upland’s <a href="https://x.com/UplandMe/status/1816511670803697729">blog post</a>.</p><p>While Upland's rolling out new content, it didn't forget about its existing partnerships as the Enfants-Rouges neighborhood will become the official home of <a href="https://funjible.games/games/The-Sandbox">The Sandbox</a> in Upland, strengthening the collaboration between the two platforms which <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/sandbox-upland-partner-revolutionize-web3-gaming-uplandme-hr6ie/">started in June 2024</a>.</p><figure class="image"><img src="https://assets.funjible.games/upland_paris_map_d0f1314110.jpg" alt="upland-paris-map.jpg" srcset="https://assets.funjible.games/thumbnail_upland_paris_map_d0f1314110.jpg 245w,https://assets.funjible.games/small_upland_paris_map_d0f1314110.jpg 500w,https://assets.funjible.games/medium_upland_paris_map_d0f1314110.jpg 750w," sizes="100vw"></figure><p>If you're an existing Upland player that is currently located elsewhere, you'll be able to teleport instantly to Paris for a fee of 1,500 UPX. Additionally, car travel is now possible between all European locations in the game.</p><h2><strong>Exchange Listing When? The Answer Is Now for Upland!</strong></h2><p>In another major development, <a href="https://funjible.games/games/Upland/editorial-reviews">Upland</a> announced it will soon list SPARKLET - its "first-ever tradable token" - on the Bitget cryptocurrency exchange. Until this point, Upland featured UPX, a token that hasn't been traded on exchanges since it had a fixed rate. SPARKLET, on the other hand, aims to "power the creator and developer economy" inside the game and it'll serve as a gateway to acquire UPX.</p><p>The token generation event (TGE) for SPARKLET launched exclusively on Bitget's Launchpool, and it ends on August 3, 2024. Furthermore, the project's prize pool boasts a total of 7 million SPARKLET tokens. During the event, interested players can earn from the prize pool by staking their BGB (Bitget Token).</p><figure class="image"><img src="https://assets.funjible.games/upland_bitget_sparklet_bf6e7353ca.jpg" alt="upland-bitget-sparklet.jpg" srcset="https://assets.funjible.games/thumbnail_upland_bitget_sparklet_bf6e7353ca.jpg 245w,https://assets.funjible.games/small_upland_bitget_sparklet_bf6e7353ca.jpg 500w,https://assets.funjible.games/medium_upland_bitget_sparklet_bf6e7353ca.jpg 750w,https://assets.funjible.games/large_upland_bitget_sparklet_bf6e7353ca.jpg 1000w," sizes="100vw"></figure><p>According to Dirk Lueth, Upland CEO, this move aligns with the game's current vision of giving players more outlets to engage with the project, allowing them to trade in liquid markets.</p><p>A Bitget listing also means a "Bitget-themed metaverse" for Upland as Gracy Chen, Bitget CEO, expressed her excitement in the <a href="https://www.bitget.com/blog/articles/upland-sparklet-on-bitget-launchpool">listing announcement</a>. As a part of the process, Bitget bought Treasure Island, an unminted neighborhood in San Francisco inside Upland, becoming the new home of Bitget's virtual HQ.</p><h2><strong>Upland’s History Gets Richer</strong></h2><p>Upland has been around since 2019. In the last five years, the project achieved impressive milestones such as over six million NFT sales. Throughout its lifetime, Upland interacted with giants like <a href="https://www.upland.me/fifa">FIFA</a> and UNICEF.</p><p>The Paris expansion and the SPARKLET token listing represent significant steps forward in Upland's evolution. They showcase the game's commitment to expanding its virtual world where players can build a new world, race each other with cars, trade properties, and garner social experiences with virtual shops, all while Upland continues to enlarge below their virtual feet.</p><p>Do share your honest review of Upland on Funjible Games.&nbsp;<br><br>&nbsp;</p><div class="raw-html-embed"><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/FZ-yBO5WcTQ?si=evQlz_Iq6fiRBcLC" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div>
