10 Basic Questions that UplandMe Leadership Refuses to Answer Honestly
1. Why did UplandMe delist from DappRadar, and how can players verify real-time UAW (Unique Active Wallets) and transaction volume now?
WHY IT MATTERS: Delisting from DappRadar removes transparency and makes it impossible to track key performance indicators — a red flag for investors and participants alike.
2. What was the real reason for the sudden cancellation of Genesis Week, and will affected players be reimbursed for travel or related costs?
WHY IT MATTERS: Canceling an annual event less than 3 months out is not only logistically irresponsible — it raises questions about financial and operational solvency.
3. Why are so many C-level executives leaving, and what does this say about internal leadership confidence in Upland’s long-term viability?
WHY IT MATTERS: Executive departures suggest strategic disagreement, financial strain, or organizational misalignment — all of which directly affect player investment.
4. Given that UPX cannot be converted to fiat, what is the roadmap to ensure players can extract real-world value from their assets — or are these sunk costs forever?
WHY IT MATTERS: Without liquidity, many users feel trapped in an ecosystem where their investment cannot be recovered — a key issue in P2E accountability.
5. Is UplandMe still a strategic priority for Animoca Brands? If not, why haven’t you publicly disclosed this pivot to your community of paying players?
WHY IT MATTERS: Animoca’s silence and the CEO’s shift to OMA3 signal a potential de-prioritization of Upland. If true, this materially impacts every player’s long-term expectation.
6. What specific measures is UplandMe taking to address community concerns about the lack of utility for properties and assets, as voiced on platforms like Reddit, and when can players expect tangible updates?
WHY IT MATTERS: Reddit posts highlight player frustration with the lack of property utility (e.g., houses having no meaningful function). Without clear utility, assets lose value, undermining the play-to-earn (P2E) promise. This question pushes UplandMe to commit to a timeline for enhancing gameplay.
7. How is UplandMe ensuring compliance with evolving blockchain and NFT regulations, especially given the SEC’s increased scrutiny of digital assets, and what protections are in place for players’ investments?
WHY IT MATTERS: The SEC’s focus on digital assets (e.g., mentioned in unrelated contexts in the results) poses risks for blockchain games. UplandMe’s NFT-to-USD program via Tilia Pay could attract regulatory attention. Players need assurance that their investments are secure amid regulatory shifts.
8. What is the current status of Upland’s NFT Portal and interoperability with other blockchains, and how will this benefit players in a fragmented metaverse ecosystem?
WHY IT MATTERS: Upland’s NFT Portal, mentioned in 2021, aims to enable cross-blockchain interoperability, a key pillar of the open metaverse. With Animoca Brands emphasizing this feature, players deserve updates on its progress and how it will enhance asset portability and value.
9. Why has UplandMe not provided a clear public roadmap for Sparklet ($SPARKLET) integration and its impact on the UPX economy, and when will this be addressed?
WHY IT MATTERS: Sparklet is a utility token for building and maintaining assets, but its role in the broader economy (e.g., staking, renting) lacks detailed public updates. Players need clarity on how Sparklet affects UPX’s value and their ability to earn, especially given concerns about UPX’s non-fiat status.
10. How is UplandMe addressing the perception of declining community trust, as evidenced by critical feedback on Discord and Reddit, and what concrete steps are being taken to rebuild confidence?
WHY IT MATTERS: Community feedback, like the Reddit post calling Upland a “rug-pull,” reflects distrust stemming from economic changes and unmet expectations. Transparent communication and actionable steps are critical to retaining players and investors.
