The Universal Protocol Platform was created by the UP Alliance, which is comprised of several pioneering companies in the blockchain industry. Its mission is to provide critical modules to support the next 100 million crypto users. Founding members of the alliance include Uphold, Cred, Blockchain at Berkeley, Brave, and FBG capital. Due to substantial contributions from UP Alliance members, each member organization will directly integrate and incorporate the Universal Protocol Token (UPT) into their respective businesses.
