Social media that puts you first.



Your voice was meant to be heard,

Your time deserves to be valued,

Your privacy has the right to be secure.



Kindness is our foundation.



Together, we stand on four foundational pillars:



1) Distribution of Wealth



You should be paid for your passions.

Whether you are posting, commenting, or even reading, on Uptrennd, you earn.

We take what we earn on the ads you see, and give it right back to you.

Every time your post or comment gets upvoted, you earn.

The higher your level, the more you will earn.

Uptrennd is a movement to shift the wealth and power from corporations, back to the people.



2) Freedom of Speech,



We believe you should be able to freely voice your opinions.

We believe that companies shouldn't censor based on their subjective opinions and biases.

Our world is meant for diversity.

A diversity of opinions and voices is what makes us all unique.

Let's keep that up!



3) Equality of Opportunity



Algorithms should be transparent and fair.

New users should be able to get just as much visibility as older users.

Quality should be more important than seniority.

On Uptrennd, no matter who you are, rich or poor, your opportunity to earn and to be seen is equal.



4) Data Privacy



You know how you've seen ads online for things you've talked out loud about before?

Creepy isn't it?

We agree.

We do not collect your data, or invade your privacy.

Your personal life is your business.



Every time a member’s post or comment is upvoted, they receive rewards.

The higher a member's level, the more rewards they can earn.

At level one, members earn 0.45 token per upvote.

How do I earn points?

Points are earned by:

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)

6. Inviting new users onto the platform

7. Exchanging tokens for points





What can I do with these points?

1. Level-Up

The higher your level, the more points you earn per upvote. Every level-up earns you more points for every upvote. Once points are allocated to leveling up, they are locked into your account.



2. Purchase:

a) Advertisement placement in the sidebar

b) One of the two “highlighted posts” in a niche

** 1 point used as a promotion will highlight your post for 10 views **



3. Redeem for Crypto

Exchange your points for 1UP tokens.

Tokens can then be traded on a third party exchange.

Is Uptrennd blockchain-based or a DApp?

Not yet, Uptrennd is currently a standard Web 2.0 website. We plan to have Uptrennd as a fully decentralized platform within 1.5 years.



Did Uptrennd do an ICO?

No, Uptrennd is a fully self-funded project. No outside investments were accepted for any stage of the build.



Was there a premine of 1UP tokens?

Yes. Since this was a grassroots, self-funded platform, Uptrennd had to get creative with ways to reduce startup costs. Rather than spending millions upfront on a full blockchain integrated platform, the website was built as a web 2.0 platform. This meant it was not possible to have an onchain model at launch. Uptrennd premined 1,000,000,000 tokens which are securely kept in cold storage. The only time 1UP tokens will be moved from cold storage is when users on Uptrennd withdraw tokens from their points earned.



Can I read more about the tokenomics?

Yep! More details can be found here
