PALO ALTO, California, June 21st, 2023, Chainwire

Upland, the leading web3 Metaverse SuperApp, announced a landmark partnership with Nowhere, a virtual gathering platform with a mission to revolutionize socialization and deepen human connection. Together, they are bringing to life the immersive concept of ‘Cafes.’ This marks a significant step in Upland’s mission to become the largest home and hub of the metaverse powering a dynamic digital open economy.

Upland is renowned for its engaging metaverse, where players, creators, developers, and brands create games, goods and experiences, monetize assets, and provide utility and fun to other players.

With this integration, players get an entirely new avenue to engage and monetize within the platform – Metaventure Cafes. These Cafes are location-based social spaces.

“Cafes are an exciting milestone in our vision to empower communities to easily socialize and share experiences with each other in Upland,” says Upland Co-Founder and Co-CEO Idan Zuckerman. “With this innovation, we are solidifying our position as a metaverse leader by deepening the opportunities that our communities and brand partners have to offer full 3D immersion, and Cafes are just the beginning. ”

Unique to Upland, Cafes are built on properties geo-located to the real-world Upland map.

Upland’s community members enter Cafes with their avatar dressed in digital wearables, which are designed for self-expression from the extensive wearable library, which includes designs from various Upland brand partners.
