Uphold x XPUNKS - XRP Army Badges

We’re proud to announce a limited edition NFT series, the XRP Army Badges, in partnership with XPUNKS!

We wanted to find a way of giving back to our awesome XRP community on Uphold*. 

And so we settled on the idea of giving you all an exclusive NFT - something you would be proud to own, which you would want to show to friends, as a badge of honor - as proof of your allegiance to the XRP army! (And to Uphold).

Why did we choose to partner with XPUNKS? Because their team created the first and most popular (to-date) NFT collection on the XRPL (XRP-Ledger). Felt like a good fit. Also, their team rocks.

How It Works

We’ve created nine XRP Army Ranks:

Each rank is accompanied by a limited edition NFT, the XRP Army Badge, to help you show off your XRP pride!

To learn more about the ranks and how to get promoted, click here!

Why are they monkeys - and why do they have green eyes?

The green eyes are a little nod to Uphold’s green logo.

And the monkeys? The XPUNKS team wanted to create something unique for this collection - so they designed monkey XPUNKS! And Web3 has a track record of loving monkeys.

Want to find out more about XPUNKS? Check out our interview with their team.

* New FCA rules mean we can’t offer our XRP promotion to UK residents. We’re really sorry and disappointed about this. But looking on the bright side… only UK residents can earn up to 4% cash back in XRP when they spend through the Uphold debit card.

Uphold x XPUNKS - Insignias del XRP Army

¡Nos enorgullece anunciar una serie de NFTs de edición limitada, las insignias del XRP Army, en colaboración con XPUNKS!

Queríamos encontrar una manera de retribuir a nuestra increíble comunidad de XRP en Uphold.

Así que decidimos ofrecerles a todos un exclusivo NFT, algo de lo que se sentirían orgullosos de poseer y mostrar a sus amigos, como una insignia de honor y prueba de su lealtad al XRP army (y a Uphold).

¿Por qué elegimos asociarnos con XPUNKS? Porque su equipo creó la primera y más popular (hasta la fecha) colección de NFTs en XRPL (XRP-Ledger). Sentimos que encajaba perfectamente. Además, su equipo es increíble.

Cómo Funciona

Hemos creado nueve Rangos del XRP Army:

Cada rango está acompañado de un NFT de edición limitada, la Insignia del XRP Army, para ayudarte a mostrar tu orgullo por XRP.

Para obtener más información sobre los rangos y cómo ascender, haz clic aquí.

¿Por qué son monos y por qué tienen ojos verdes?

Los ojos verdes son un pequeño guiño al logotipo verde de Uphold.

¿Y los monos? El equipo de XPUNKS quería crear algo único para esta colección, así que diseñaron XPUNKS con forma de monos. Además, la comunidad de Web3 tiene una historia de adorar a los monos.
