Question 1

What is Portals (PORTALS)?

Accepted Answer

Portals (PORTALS) is the coordination token of the Portals Network, a browser-based, no-code game-creation platform focused on user-generated content. The platform has a two-layer architecture:

- a **creation layer** with visual tools to build and publish full games, modular scenes and minigames, with custom asset imports and instant, browser-native distribution

- an **economic layer** that turns game components into tokenised, tradable on-chain assets designed for ownership, liquidity and interoperability across games

PORTALS sits at the centre of this economic layer, aligning creators, players and stakeholders across asset pairing, liquidity provisioning, ecosystem incentives and, in time, governance.

Question 2

What is Portals (PORTALS) used for?

Accepted Answer

**Asset pairing & liquidity:** Creators launch tokenised game assets (currencies, wearables, collectibles, even whole experiences) paired with PORTALS to form liquidity pools, enable market-based price discovery and support open trading. Pairing keeps liquidity inside the ecosystem and links value across games.

**Asset models supported:**
- **Volatile assets** — new tokens paired with PORTALS for market formation and speculative participation
- **Stable-backed assets** — redeemable for stablecoins, with protocol fees on primary issuance and redemption; backing capital may earn yield
- **Semi-stable assets** — backed by SOL or LSTs, combining a dynamic floor with staking yield
- **Dynamic assets** — paired with other in-network assets to build bundles, progression loops or composable game economies

**Protocol revenue:** Fees are captured on primary sales, secondary swaps and, where applicable, redemptions. Platform-level royalties apply across transfers. Fee flows are shared between the protocol treasury and creators.

**Incentives & growth:** PORTALS funds grants, marketplace/activity rewards, contests and liquidity bootstrapping to stimulate high-quality content and sustainable economies.

**NFT & access integration:** Portals NFTs act as an identity and distribution layer with faction-based reward multipliers, preferred access to asset distributions and exclusive drops. NFTs may gate or enhance access to incubated launches and platform features.

Question 3

# Emissions and vesting (qualitative)

Accepted Answer

The token follows a time-based, linear release that begins with an initial activation for ecosystem bootstrapping, followed by multi-year vesting for long-term stakeholders. Future governance may refine emissions with burns, staking-based distribution or protocol-owned liquidity programmes.
