$PORTAL
The Portal token (PORTAL) is a cross-chain cryptocurrency designed to unite the fragmented Web3 gaming world into a single ecosystem. Developed in partnership with [LayerZero Labs](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/portal-gaming/), Portal acts as a universal gaming bridge. It allows players to access over 200 decentralized games across different blockchains using just one coin and one account.

## 💡 Core Features & Technology

*
* Cross-Chain Portal Pay: A liquidity layer allowing gamers to pay for in-game items using any token, while game developers receive their preferred currency.
* No-Bridge Security: Powered by BitScaler technology, the network executes trustless, custody-less atomic swaps. This eliminates the security risks tied to traditional crypto bridges.
* AI-Driven Expansion: The platform features Portal Studio, a tool helping creators deploy and manage AI agents for game creation and simulation.
* The Portal Shop: A reward hub where users spend earned "Shards" on mainstream video game top-ups and gift cards (like PlayStation, Steam, and PUBG Mobile).

## 📊 Token Utility and Economics
The PORTAL token has a maximum hard cap supply of 1 billion tokens. It serves several primary functions across the network:

*
* In-Game Transactions: Players use it to buy, sell, and trade virtual items across partnered games.
* Stake-to-Scale: Gamers and investors can stake their tokens to earn passive rewards, gain exclusive NFT access, and help games vote for higher visibility on the platform.
* Node Infrastructure: Users must hold PORTAL to purchase and operate network nodes that support the decentralized grid.
* Deflationary Burn: A percentage of transaction fees collected from swaps automatically buys back and burns PORTAL, reducing the circulating supply over time.
