Curious about the Metaverse we're building at @_portals_?

Here's a thread with everything you need to know!

Let's dive in 👇
2/32

PORTALS

With a focus on a dense city center and zero-friction user experience, together with our community, we’re building the best city in the metaverse. Accessible for everyone in the browser.

Build. Explore. Invite. Play.
3/32

NO DEVS NEEDED. ANYONE CAN BUILD. IN THE BROWSER.

This space is made with the Portals editor in the browser. You can acquire a Portals NFT and just a few hours later start hosting events with 30-150 people directly in the browser.

Example:

REAL-WORLD UTILITY

Think of it not only as an NFT, but that you have a "metaverse-software-as-a-service". You can use it for yourself and you can use it for/with others.

Check SaaS/software prices for doing things virtually with 30+ people. Companies pay a lot.
5/32

"COMMUNITY CENTRIC"

Portals have been community-centric since day one.

We have dedicated channels for discussing upcoming concepts or important themes that we are focusing on.

We systematically log and categorize all suggestions made by community members.

& much more.
6/32

RENTING

Rent out your Portals NFT to communities and companies.

Together with @cardinal_labs we just launched an alpha version of the Renting Marketplace for Portals Ivory, Onyx, and Vision NFTs.

NEW DESIGN AND USER INTERFACE COMING

Everything in this thread will be in the Portals Metaverse with this upcoming new design, user interface, and user experience. The goal is to rival or beat the other products we use every day in terms of design/UI/UX.
@cardinal_labs 8/32

NETWORK? Yes!

Anyone who wants to be active in the Portals community will have a lot of amazing Metaverse and Web3 networking opportunities. Design. Create. Organize. Host. Whatever your strength is.

You can even get cheap access with a Standard Citizen Card NFT:

FUN

Enough utility talk for a bit. Our goal is as much to make the internet and virtual experiences FUN.

Invite people to a space. Play music. Play games. Voice chat. Screen share. Video stream. Explore Downtown (See you in the Arcade?) and so many other things.
@cardinal_labs 10/32

Let's dive a bit into who's building Portals:

PORTALS TEAM

20+ team members and hiring. We have been onboarding team members from companies like Apple, Epic Games, Roblox, Sony etc.

GAME STUDIO TEAM

The AAA game studio team we're assembling is also overseeing world-class game art studios that have been ramping up production on creating an amazing virtual city.

@cardinal_labs @Everyrealm @growyourbase_ @_MVStudios @arca @TerraZeroTech @councilofkingz 14/32

THE PORTALS COMMUNITY/HOLDERS

This is probably one of the most underrated things about Portals. We have a lot of very resourceful founders/, executives, investors, creatives, music and sports professionals, theater and movie producers, etc etc.

@cardinal_labs @Everyrealm @growyourbase_ @_MVStudios @arca @TerraZeroTech @councilofkingz 15/32

BUILDING ONE

We build both vertically (Building One) and horizontally (Downtown/Districts), which allows us to move faster with activities and experiences, e.g. you don't need the exterior design to get started - and we avoid initial empty areas.

@cardinal_labs @Everyrealm @growyourbase_ @_MVStudios @arca @TerraZeroTech @councilofkingz 16/32

WHAT ARE WE WORKING ON NOW?

ROADMAP 2.0!

Check out Districts! Bots! Pets! Templates! Avatars! The PFP Project! New items! and more.

CITIZEN CARDS

A new Metaverse concept that allows a lot more people to engage with Portals and be a part of the community. Citizen Card owners even get a small personal space for NFTs, collectibles, and can invite a few friends.

@cardinal_labs @Everyrealm @growyourbase_ @_MVStudios @arca @TerraZeroTech @councilofkingz 19/32

PORTALS PFP PROJECT

There's still some work to do, but we are launching a PFP Project.

The current Portals Genesis Citizen Card NFTs will be you pass to get your hands on the PFP NFT!

Here's all we have published so far:

BUILDING ON SOLANA

This allows us to do things like the previously mentioned Citizen Cards, easy future micro-transactions (for events, etc), take advantage of the NFT/Gaming mass adoption and audience coming to Solana and so much more.

SOLANA HACKATHON WINNER

In October 2021 we got 2nd place in the Gaming category at the Solana #Ignition Hackathon!
