XYO, a decentralized infrastructure and data sovereignty platform, has recently announced a groundbreaking partnership with Upland, a Web3 gaming platform. This collaboration aims to explore innovative ways of integrating virtual and real-world experiences, ultimately expanding the potential of Web3 technologies.
The partnership between XYO and Upland will kick off with the integration of Upland into XYO’s COIN App as part of the “Learn & Earn” initiative. This initiative will allow users to earn rewards both within the COIN app and in Upland, creating a seamless interaction between physical and digital spaces.
Both XYO and Upland are key players in the Web3 space. XYO’s COIN app leverages crowd-sourced geospatial data verified through the XYO Network to reward users with digital assets. On the other hand, Upland offers a platform where users can buy, trade, and develop virtual properties tied to real-world locations. The recent launch of Upland’s SPARKLET utility token further supports creators in building within its virtual world.
Markus Levin, Co-founder of XYO, highlighted the partnership’s alignment with the platform’s mission to harness the power of location and other forms of data in the real world. He emphasized the seamless extension of XYO’s mission through the “Learn & Earn” initiative and the partnership with Upland, bridging the gap between the physical and virtual worlds.
Dirk Lueth, Co-founder & Co-CEO of Uplandme, Inc., expressed excitement about pioneering new ways for users to experience the convergence of the physical and virtual worlds through the partnership with XYO. This collaboration aims to unlock powerful synergies between Upland’s expansive virtual ecosystem and XYO’s expertise in geospatial technology, empowering users to engage with real-world locations in innovative ways.
Both XYO and Upland have been early adopters of Web3 technologies and are now pushing the boundaries of what is being called “Web5.” With a focus on mobile solutions and streamlined user experiences, this partnership has the potential to drive further innovations in the rapidly growing metaverse.
As the Web3 space continues to evolve, the XYO and Upland partnership sets the stage for a new era of integrated virtual and real-world experiences. Stay tuned for the exciting developments coming in October 2024 as features roll out across both apps, offering users a unique opportunity to explore and interact within digital and physical environments.
