Player-to-Player Transactions

Player-to-Player Trading

The marketplace is where Architects trade with each other. No algorithm sets the prices. Over $20 million has changed hands between players since 2019.

What you can trade

  • Properties.
  • Block Explorers.
  • Vehicles (cars, karts, boats, planes, semi-trucks).
  • Map assets and ornaments.
  • Legits (sports collectibles, themed items, seeds).
  • UGC-designed items (with 100% creator royalties).

How to trade

  1. List your asset on the marketplace, set a UPX price.
  2. Or make an offer on someone else's asset. Your UPX sits in escrow.
  3. Property swaps are also supported — accept another property as payment instead of UPX.
  4. On accept, ownership transfers and the transaction records to the Upland Appchain.

Fees

10% community contribution on each marketplace transaction (5% buyer + 5% seller).

Transferring UPX

How it Works

Players can initiate an UPX transfer by navigating to another player's profile and selecting the "Send UPX" button. It's also now possible to search for specific players' profiles directly in the Upland App. Just open up the "Quick Menu" and select the "Player Search" icon to open up the Player Search feature.

Note: The above images are mockups, the in-game experience may vary slightly.

After selecting a player, click on the "Send UPX" button on their profile page to initiate the transfer process. Then, input the amount of UPX you wish to transfer; it will clearly state how much you will pay prior to the transaction. Once the details are confirmed, click "Send UPX" to complete the transfer. The recipient will be notified once the transaction is complete.

UPX Transfers Mechanics and Restrictions

Upland status & Account Age

UPX Transfers will only be available to players who are Uplanders and above, meaning that Visitors will not have the ability to both send or receive UPX. Players who reach Uplander will receive access to UPX transfers pending Identity Verification.

Identity Verification

All players who wish to send or receive UPX must verify their identity with our partner Thunes. Any attempt to use the UPX transfer feature without ID verification will prompt the player to complete this process.

Transfer Limits & Cooldowns

All acquired UPX (via marketplace, earnings, or store purchase) is subject to a 60-day cooldown period before it becomes transferable. For example, if a player currently has 100,000 UPX in their account, but 50k of that UPX was purchased within the past 60 days, they will only have a maximum of 50k UPX (100k - 50k) available for transfer. Additionally, the minimum amount of UPX a player can transfer is 20 UPX.

Marketplace Fee

As with all Upland transactions, UPX transfers will be subject to the 10% marketplace transaction fee. 5% of this fee will be paid on the part of the sender, while the remaining 5% will be paid by the receiver. In other words, if Player A wants to send 1000 UPX to Player B, Player A will pay 1050 UPX, and Player B will receive 950 UPX.

2FA & Captcha

All UPX transfer transactions will also be subject to 2-Factor Authentication and Captcha to ensure the highest level of security of users. We highly recommend enabling 2FA if you plan to use the UPX transfer mechanism.

These restrictions are meant to ensure safe transactions for all of our players during the testing phase of this new feature. As always, these restrictions will be subject to change pending the outcomes of this pilot program.
