Upland Troves launch within two weeks: Block Explorer stamina sets how much you collect
Upland will ship Troves, Trove Banking, and Progression together within two weeks of its October 8, 2026 countdown post. Collecting on the map will spend Block Explorer stamina from a shared daily pool. A separate World on the Move preview keeps resident travel, terminals, and landmarks for after Troves, with no release date in that post.
This article follows our Troves October launch update, property decorate first look after Troves, and USZZLS26 Uppie bundles. Those articles do not cover the two-week launch window, recipe cadence, stamina rules, or World on the Move.
Background
Upland is a wallet-optional city-builder on a real-world map from Uplandme. Day-to-day play runs in client; SPARKLET and property layers sit on Ethereum and Base when you opt in. Soft currencies such as UPX stay in-game only.
Troves are the shared collect-and-craft layer Upland has been building toward through Residents, Uppies, Service Structures, and Life. An earlier September update moved the public launch window into October without naming a day. This article adds the two-week countdown, how Block Explorer stamina gates collecting, and a post-Troves ownership preview for terminals and landmarks.
What happened
Troves, Banking, and Progression within two weeks
On October 8, 2026, Upland posted (opens in new tab) that Troves, Trove Banking, and Progression will launch together within the next two weeks. The post does not name a calendar day.
All Troves collectible through gameplay go live first so players can build inventory. The full recipe set is not available at launch. New recipes unlock in batches at a regular cadence over the following weeks until the full set is out. As those batches roll out, over 500 Troves become available to discover and collect.
Prep on the same page: plant plants and trees, keep plant care going, and build Service Structures and residential structures in the neighborhoods you want to develop. An official Troves overview video (opens in new tab) walks the countdown, rollout shape, and prep.
Block Explorer stamina sets how much you collect
On October 12, 2026, Upland posted (opens in new tab) how stamina works when Troves arrive. Collecting Troves across the map uses stamina. Receiving Trove Dust also uses stamina.
Every Block Explorer in the wallet adds to one global stamina pool. Rarity helps set how much each explorer contributes. Every player has a baseline of 100 stamina per day. Owned explorers add capacity on top of that baseline. Stamina refills every 6 hours starting at 00:00 UTC as a shared refill, not a per-use timer.
When you inspect another player's Block Explorer, you see its maximum stamina, not remaining stamina. Transferring a Block Explorer does not refill its stamina. Modifiers are planned later and are not in the initial stamina release with Troves. An editor's note on the page says the images are mockups and displayed values may change. Initial stamina values are a starting point and may be adjusted after launch. An official stamina overview video (opens in new tab) covers the same system.
The same page opens a collection sale timed for Troves prep. Registration opens October 12, 2026. The sale runs October 13 through October 20, 2026. The page does not print clock times for those days.
Little Frights Halloween 2026 is an eight-design series: Mini Ghost, Mini Witch, Mini Mummy, Mini Vampire, Mini Frankenstein, Mini Werewolf, Mini Grim Reaper, and Mini Gargoyle. Each design has its own bundle at $20, including 20,000 UPX and the chosen Block Explorer, with 70 mints per design and 150 stamina. The page states no further Block Explorers will be added to this series later.
Trove Core is a limited Terraformer at $1,000 on web only. The bundle includes 1,000,000 UPX and the Trove Core explorer, with 5 total mints and 750 stamina. The page describes Terraformers as candidates for future modifiers that will not ship in the initial stamina release.
World on the Move: terminals and landmarks after Troves
On October 14, 2026, Upland posted (opens in new tab) a development preview for after Troves launches. Residents and Uppies are planned to take simulated journeys that change from day to day. Bus, airport, and train terminals are planned to connect travel between cities. Landmarks are planned to attract visits.
Landmark owners are planned to get Troves from visits. Terminal owners are planned to get Troves from resident and Uppie traffic, in addition to the rewards terminal owners already get from player travel. Future Destination Structures are planned to help cities and neighborhoods draw more visitors. Automation paths, including employing an Uppie at a Service Structure or assigning an Uppie to a property, are planned later, with a similar path for landmarks and terminals.
The post states this is a preview. Simulated travel and automated Trove accumulation for terminals and landmarks are planned for after the Troves launch, not alongside it. No release date is announced. An official video breakdown (opens in new tab) covers the same preview.
Who it affects
Players preparing for Troves
Use the October 8 countdown window to plant, build Service and residential structures, and learn collection before recipe batches expand. Watch for a named launch day; none is published yet.
Block Explorer holders and buyers
Stamina capacity comes from the explorers in your wallet plus the 100 daily baseline. Sale windows for Little Frights and Trove Core run through October 20, 2026. Printed stamina figures on the October 12 page are subject to change until live values settle.
Terminal and landmark owners
World on the Move is a post-Troves ownership preview only. Keep travel-network Troves rewards off your Troves launch checklist until Upland dates that feature.
