What is Uptrennd?

1UP is an ERC-20 token which is built on the Ethereum Blockchain. 1UP token follows the core upvoting system and serves as a digital currency of Uptrennd. Uptrennd is a social media platform which builds incentive structures to reward the content creators and users who engage with the content. 

Uptrennd was found by Jeff Kirdeikis in 2019. Before creating the token, Jeff was involved with the Cryptocurrency Investing Network (CCI). While in CCI, Jeff observed that there was a lot of censorship on Facebook, Twitter & Google surrounding the crypto-based ads. Hence, Jeff planned to solve this censorship and create Uptrennd. 

The Uptrennd users can submit their creative content such as videos, music, or news to earn points as rewards. Also, the users who interact well with the content posted will be rewarded with points. These points can be exchanged for 1UP tokens among other rewards available. The value of points come from filtering the advertisement revenue. 

How can users earn points?

As mentioned earlier, content creation and interaction are the main ways to earn points, but they aren’t the only ways. According to Uptrennd, the ways include:

1. Receiving an upvote on your post or comment 
2. The Sharing Economy – Reposts earn you 50% of the points
3. Receiving donations from other users
4. Daily Activity Bonus (Visit 10 pages in a day)
5. Monthly and Weekly contests
6. Inviting new users onto the platform
7. Exchanging tokens for points

Where to use these points?

Uptrennd provides various ways to use the points earned by the user. They are:

Level-up Accounts: Uptrennd allows users to level-up their accounts. Here, the user with higher-level will earn more points per upvote. These points are locked into the user’s account after the points are allocated.  

Purchase: Users can use their 1UP tokens to place an advertisement in the sidebar. If the user spends 1 point for a promotion, then Uptrennd will highlight the post for 10 views. 

Trading: In this method, users can exchange their points for 1UP tokens. Then, they can use these tokens to trade on a third-party exchange.
