The Preferred Developer Program is designed to connect developers to a global community of users in the metaverse while providing the resources, technical support, discoverability, and liquidity needed to build and succeed in web3.

1. WEB3 MECHANICS

You Build, We’ll make it Web3. Upland's REST API makes it easy for developers to either build new apps or launch existing Web2 games as Web3 experiences within Upland's metaverse. 
Integration of our REST API will include:
i. Tokenomics
ii. NFTs
iii. Compliance with money transmitting*
*Upland takes care of all US-regulations compliance topics (KYC, cashouts, governance, etc). Experiences launched using the Upland API are fully compliant and can be marketed to US gamers.
