What is SPARKLET

1. Project Introduction SPARKLET is the native utility token of Upland. It is an ERC-20 token that can be bridged with EOS. Ecosystem participants use SPARKLET for a variety of functions, such as building and developing properties and communities with various buildings and structures. Upland entrepreneurs and creators require SPARKLET to build shops, factories, and showrooms to facilitate their “Metaventures”. Meanwhile, partners/brands (such as FIFA, NFLPA, UNICEF, and Stock Car Pro Series) need SPARKLET for promotions. Summary: The metaverse behind Upland's Sparklet token is a virtual property trading game mapped to the real world and based on blockchain technology. In its years of operation since 2018, it has received support from major investors like Animoca and accumulated a substantial number of real users. Currently, the Upland app has more than 1 million downloads on the Google Play Store.
