Looking to build a garden or add greenery to your Upland property? Nursery metaventures are the first step in this important stage of adding life to the Upland metaverse. Nurseries will facilitate the buying and selling of “Seed Legits”. You can trade your seed Legit for a plant by burning the Legit. Once planted, the living element will become not non-tradable. Care for the plant (likely in a similar mechanic to how Totems work) as it grows and evolves over time. Be careful, because without proper care, they may wither away.
At the launch of this feature, the care of these items will be tied to Protem (to become the Stem token in the future), with additional mechanics to be introduced over time to expand how life evolves in Upland.
Any player can open a Nursery, but players who place a totem on their Nursery will unlock additional utility for their metaventure. These upgraded Nurseries will enable players to spend Sparklet in exchange for a random seed Legit. The metaventure owner will be compensated for facilitating this transaction. The scarcity of these upgraded Nurseries will reward those who own and strategically activate totems on that property.
Seed types will vary in rarity and availability based on location. For example, Palm Trees may be exclusive to Nurseries in cities like Miami and Los Angeles, while Pine Trees could be found only in Lake Tahoe or Park City. This adds a unique geographical layer to plant discovery and trade, enhancing the connection between Life and the Upland map.
