What makes a project successful?

Is it a great idea?
Is it a strong team?
Is it a dedicated and supportive community?
Is it a well-polished, market-ready product?

We believe it’s all of the above. And we’re proud to say we have almost everything on that list.

Building something new—especially in finance—is an incredibly tough mission. There’s no room for mistakes; a single failure can cost a fortune. That's why we take our product and its security for our users and community so seriously. We simply can’t release anything unless we’re 100% sure it meets our standards.

We know you’re eagerly awaiting on-chain tasks and product testing—just like we are. We’re hyped, our product, marketing, and BD teams are revving their engines, ready to push through the final lap before launch.

Unfortunately, we still don’t have the green light from our tech team to release the next version for testing. Along with major improvements, we are dropping a real bomb in the next update and opening up Portal to a new..."SOLar system" of users. While they’re working hard to deliver everything on time and in the best possible way, building something completely new sometimes takes longer than expected.

We need to test everything thoroughly before launch, and we need you—our community—to help us. Your feedback will be invaluable in guiding us and ensuring we get things right. That’s why we’re extending the testnet for a few more weeks. We can’t set an exact end date yet, but we’ll keep you updated!

Thank you for your patience and support!
Happy International Women’s Day!:BeatingHeart3:

Dear ladies of our community, we congratulate you on this wonderful holiday!
You make the world brighter, stronger, and more beautiful every day.:relieved~1:

We wish you happiness, success in all your endeavors, and the fulfillment of your deepest desires.

Quantum computing is on the horizon—and it threatens the very foundation of Bitcoin’s current security.

Once quantum attacks arrive, today’s signature schemes could be broken, leaving billions in BTC exposed. Most wallets aren’t ready for this future. Portal Wallet is.

We’ve engineered our infrastructure to support post-quantum protection the moment it’s available—no delays, no scrambling.
