Today we held a 2 hour town hall with our community discussing our new accelerator program which aims to bring more high-quality games like this to be published directly on Portals.
Two new games are are already under development, stay tuned for more!
think roblox, but every sword, skin, or mini-game can turn into a token
that's basically what @_portals_@portalsFDN is lining up
& $PORTALS was just launched 🧵👇
let's dig 'em up
you'll get to know:
→ what portals is
→ how it works
→ the token economy
→ revenue & incubator
→ nft layer
▫️what portals is
portals is a browser-based no-code game builder.
anyone can jump in, build a game straight from the browser, no coding skills... (we keep seeing this)
what makes it different is that every asset in a game can also become a token - tradable, ownable, liquid.
so it's not just about playing or publishing games, but about creating an economy around them.
▫️how it works
the stack has 2 main layers ↓
• creation layer → drag-and-drop, import your own objects/avatars/maps, and publish instantly
• economic layer → every object, mini-game, or whole world can be tokenized and traded
this makes portals feel like a mix between a game studio and a dex.
instead of assets sitting locked inside a single game, they move across titles, players, and markets.
example ↓
a memecoin can be launched through a game, paired w/ $PORTALS, and boom - you've got a live liquidity pool out of gameplay.
▫️the token economy
the whole thing runs on $PORTALS.
creators pair their in-game tokens or items w/ $PORTALS for liquidity.
this has 2 effects ↓
• assets become tradeable in open markets
• $PORTALS gets locked into liquidity pools, lowering circulating supply
types of assets are broken down ↓
• volatile → memecoins, experimental stuff, paired w/ $PORTALS
• stable → backed by usdc, predictable, redeemable
• semi-stable → backed by sol or lsts, redeemable but w/ some volatility
• dynamic → tied to other in-network assets, used for bundles or game-specific loops
each design gives creators flexibility on how deep they want to go into financialization.
▫️revenue & incubator
portals makes money from volume.
swap fees, redemption fees, royalties on transfers - all baked in.
on top of that, when users buy stuff w/ stablecoins, that collateral can earn yield in defi until it's redeemed.
so there's both active fees (trading) and passive yield (capital sitting in pools).
there's also an incubator.
handpicked dev teams get support: technical help, $PORTALS grants, liquidity seeding, featured distribution.
the idea is to launch flagship games that show off what a "tokenized game economy" can actually look like.
▫️nft layer
portals has its own nft collection split in 4 factions (explorer, collector, strider, operator).
these act like multipliers for rewards & access.
nft holders get ↓
• airdrops from $PORTALS supply
• exclusive content & drops
• early access to incubator games
• distribution rights when new tokens launch
basically, they're the core community that channels liquidity & attention across the ecosystem.
if you noticed, assets aren't stuck in one game...
the idea is full interoperability across the network
just like building a sword in a one game, sell it in another, use it in a mini-game...
it feels like a dex for game items
no-code tools + tokenized assets = creators owning their content & their markets

& comment below your thoughts about this
I've never seen a project work on its tokenomics as hard as @_portals_ . I admit that they did so many tests and postponements that they made me doubt. But no, they were just working like crazy and you will be surprised by the execution and the incentives to hold both the token and the NFT.
To celebrate the launch of $PORTALS on September 16 at 11:00AM PST / 18:00 UTC, we’re hosting a mint for a commemorative cosmetic.
This exclusive wearable is fully backed—meaning you can burn the NFT to receive a full refund.
