# Keeping the Upland Economy Protected

Having SPARKLET tradable may bring macroeconomic effects that need to be considered. For example, in a favorable macroeconomic environment, SPARKLET market prices may fluctuate up making it less accessible for Uplanders. For that reason, Uplandme inc maintains the authority to tweak SPARKLET-related economic parameters within Upland in reaction to macroeconomic conditions, such as (but not limited to):

* The amount of Spark Hours required for construction of particular structures in Upland
* The amount of Spark Hours required for manufacturing of particular Map Items
* The amount of SPARKLET required to create Legit NFTs
* The amount of Spark Hours required to charge a particular vehicle

With sufficient data available, Uplandme may create a monthly rule according to which it will adjust the parameters. E.g., when the SPARKLET market price has altered by more than 20% in a given month in either direction, these parameters may be adjusted in the subsequent month.
