About Universal Protocol Token (UPT)
The crypto industry’s first “mega utility token,” UPT is the native token of the Universal Protocol Alliance, a coalition of leading blockchain companies that together form a foundational architecture for bringing digital money into the mainstream.
UPT first made its debut in November of 2019 on Bitcoin.com Exchange and then later more broadly expanded liquidity venues. UP Alliance members, including Blockchain at Berkeley, CertiK, OmiseGO, and Uphold, help power an ecosystem comprising more than 10 million users (regular consumers and blockchain industry members alike) who tap into, or stake, via the mega utility token, benefits which can include anything from getting ultra-competitive rates for cash-back offers to discounts on trading costs. Another upside, for ecosystem-dwelling developers: reduced code auditing fees.
Consumers can use the token to make transactions with UP Alliance's Ethereum-blockchain-supported proxy tokens – the Universal Dollar (UPUSD) and the Universal Euro (UPEUR) – as well as Universal Bitcoin (UPBTC), allowing multi-way convertibility and a more secure to own/shift among underlying currencies.
