Upland’s experimental collaboration with the artificial intelligence (AI) startup Kaedim has proven to be more fruitful, with the metaverse platform seeing a 70% increase in 3D asset production speeds.  It’s an outcome that will enable Upland to populate its immersive virtual world more rapidly while accelerating its pace of innovation.  The partnership represents another key evolution for Upland, which began as a fairly simple, blockchain-based virtual property trading game. With Upland, players can buy, sell, and trade virtual properties mapped to real-world locations while engaging in an economy that caters to entrepreneurs, content creators, and gamers alike.  The concept has caught on, with Upland seeing more adoption after being announced as FIFA’s official metaverse partner during the Qatar World Cup in 2022.  At the last count, it had over three million registered players who traded 4 million digital assets.  AI-enhanced asset creation Digital asset creation is one of the most vital elements of Upland, as the game revolves around user-generated content.
