what's portals?
Portals is a decentralized metaverse platform built on the Solana blockchain, designed to enable users to create, customize, and share immersive virtual spaces. Users can display their NFTs from Solana and Ethereum, engage in real-time voice and text chat, and participate in interactive events such as game jams, movie screenings, and NFT hunts directly in the browser without requiring downloads. The platform supports features like NFT rentals through integrations with tools such as Cardinal Labs, allowing temporary access to digital assets, and avatar customization via partnerships like Ready Player Me for personalized 3D representations. Portals fosters a community-driven ecosystem with its own NFT collections, including Genesis Citizen Cards and commemorative wearables, which grant access to exclusive utilities and events. The native PORTALS token powers transactions, governance, and special mints within the platform, enhancing interoperability across blockchains. It emphasizes user ownership and creativity, turning virtual environments into dynamic social hubs for crypto enthusiasts and creators.
Portals recently partnered with Trojan's new terminal for a joint giveaway promotion.
