I was not exaggerating when I said that @_portals_ was going to be 8 collections.

500+ traits. 4 Factions. 2 Genders. 1 collection.

I’m still working on the BIG thread, But I needed to share this.

An incredibly difficult design problem summed up in one tidy graphic.

The new Portals universe sparks into existence.

Portals is doing something insane and this is a start a Moof? Studio?

Looks like yep thats right! People are making their own studios on the @_portals_ game. You know whats crazy all these people thinking they need to build these clicker games?

This is the idea 3D games to be built on portals! You don't need to build the whole game yourself. You just need to put the things in the right place!

Since the beginning, we had always prioritized product over hype, substance over clout.

Zero hype, all grind.

Now that the product is battle-tested and ready to scale, it's time to MAKE SOME NOISE🔈

[Portals @_portals_]

IT'S TIME.

We are super excited to finally announce our partners, the absolute goats @SCUMSOL & @SLIMES_STUDIO_ as the team behind the Portals transformation.

We've been cooking a whole new Portals universe ↓

[Jacq @heyjaqq]

@dazzigar appreciate the support sir🫡 has not been an easy road but we're just getting started.

🚨 Portals is Ready for Prime Time! 🚨

Long overlooked in the fast-paced world of Crypto Twitter, @_portals_ has been quietly building for 3 years without spending a single dollar on marketing. Now, that’s about to change as they go into full growth mode! Tomorrow’s artist reveal, marks the beginning of this exciting new phase.

The core community knows just how prepared Portals is. It’s always been “together” — rewarding loyal supporters generously and building the whole platform with the help of their feedback! Just recently, early stakers were given a massive 50% points bonus for [redacted]. Better start staking your NFTs! 👀

Portals’ Ambition:
Portals isn’t just throwing out buzzwords. They’re aiming to stand alongside Fortnite or Roblox — and they mean it. The product is already built and ready to play. No need to wait years for a finished platform.

Content Engine:
Portals is becoming the go-to for high-quality projects and brands, check out:
- @BlockofHorror's latest trailer 🎥
- @vaneck_us' @SegMintIO space
- @MeebitsDAO's community hub
- @AtariX city

But the true power of Portals lies in the builders — YOU. Casual players and creators can effortlessly create their own games or experiences directly in the browser, no coding required. With Portals built-in tools, simply drag & drop items, add some game logic, and you're ready to launch!

Distribution Engine:
Entry barriers? Virtually nonexistent. All you need is a browser. 🎮 Imagine streamers sharing a link and viewers instantly jumping into the game — no downloads, no installs, just immediate engagement. Plus, Portals has native Apple Vision Pro support, mobile readiness, and tablet optimization. 📱💻

Creator Monetization on Another Level:
Portals is setting new standards for creator rewards. If you’ve seen how Roblox handles things, you know there’s plenty of room for improvement (e.g. 75% cut out on each sale or a crazy-high barrier to cashout as creator). Portals is leading with community-first priorities and better monetization for creators. See my whitepaper 1.0 tweets for more about that topic!

Portals is doing everything right from the very beginning. Leveraged their awesome community, kept building headsdown, trusted @solana and didnt spend any unneccessary money for short outcomes. Trust the process, we are here for the long-run!

Few know already, but it's Portals season.
Tomorrow, everyone will know.

A whole new universe.

Transformed collection artist reveal Sept 17.

[Hugh MFER (PORTALS Guy) @hughmfer]

if you took the crafting system of runescape

and merged it with the UGC/game dev of roblox

and the lore of mass effect

You'd get @_portals_

[gomez @adamq_q]

this is a quick pre-breakpoint "who is building the next games universe on the scale of fortnite/roblox?" check-in

it's @_portals_. it’s the furthest along, and has the key pieces no one else does. change my mind

one thing we've been working on for the next phase is designing the systems to incentivize creation and sharing: to maximally turbocharge growth and establish the strongest network effects. when you have a great product, and you add the right crypto incentives, it's like pouring fuel on a fire. this really hasn't been seen before on the scale we're imagining, because there aren't a lot of already clearly working, new, great, differentiated consumer products that can integrate crypto the way portals can

in terms of network/distribution strengths, portals as a platform is already benefiting tremendously from being on a winning blockchain — and we have all the amazing solana builders and communities to thank for that

we'll soon be doing recruitment drives for the next phase's army expansion, and will make sure holders have the right information to help onboard new folks

we want the venn diagram of solana maxis and portals maxis to fully overlap

if you'll be at breakpoint and want to connect, send me or @_bus_bus_bus a dm!

here's an interview with the ceo of epic games talking about crypto/interoperability as it relates to fortnite: https://t.co/eQgF1S1KPB

more soon 👨‍🎨

[Bus | Portals @_bus_bus_bus]

everyday we iterate

everyday we lock in

everyday we get 1% better

the end result will be extraordinary

this is the @_portals_ way

"While not an exact simulation, the neural model is able to perform complex game state updates, such as tallying health and ammo, attacking enemies, damaging objects, opening doors, and persist the game state over long trajectories." Tip of the iceberg for generative worlds&games

[Ethan Mollick @emollick]

Wow, diffusion models (used in AI image generation) are also game engines - a type of world simulation.

By predicting the next frame of the classic shooter DOOM, you get a playable game at 20 fps without any underlying real game engine.

This video is from the diffusion model.

My best friend in the world helping me prep for the @_portals_ x @MoondanceGG podcast FTing @adamq_q @PieFlyy @GhostcatJoypad 💙
We were casted into loot park & there was so many people watching our podcast via #Portals lootpark.
THIS WAS SO EPIC! 🥳
@_portals_ is the future.

[Alohacowboy @alohacowboysol]

I’m not a particularly good ‘gamer’ so the ‘puzzles’ path to the ending of the level was EPIC. Thoroughly enjoyed this one!! Well played @_portals_ (Also @_bus_bus_bus )

[Jacq @heyjaqq]

@alohacowboysol @_portals_ @_bus_bus_bus more to come!! can't let the runners have all the fun🤓
