Portal, the much-anticipated cross-chain gaming platform and token, has officially launched, rewarding early participants and setting the stage for future staking opportunities and feature rollouts.
Early Rewards and Launch Day Buzz
The PORTAL token, currently trading at $2.37 with a market cap of $397 million, is now accessible for trading. Users who participated in Portal’s 2023 airdrop campaign can now claim their PORTAL tokens, although some have reported difficulties and regional restrictions.
Binance Launchpool participants received their share of the allocated 50 million PORTAL tokens, with the program attracting a record-breaking $9 billion in staked crypto, showcasing strong early interest.
Connecting Gamers and Blockchain Games
Portal aims to be a central hub, connecting players, games, and assets across various blockchain networks like Solana and Polygon. The team behind Portal comprises experienced individuals from the crypto startup scene, the video game industry, and even Hollywood.
Looking Ahead: Staking, Airdrops, and Nodes
In the coming days, Portal plans to launch token staking, allowing users to lock up their tokens and earn rewards like VIP access to token/NFT sales and early access to upcoming blockchain games. Portal will continue its “Crystal Dash” airdrop campaign, offering additional user rewards through engagement.
Similar to Xai on Arbitrum, Portal might introduce purchasable nodes that users can operate to support the network and receive incentives.
