Company mission
Porta's mission is to make Blockchain products accessible to everyone through great user experience and seamless software.
Our take
Porta Network is a blockchain project focused on making blockchain products accessible for everyone. It consists of a relay network along with custom blockchains networks connected to it. Each blockchain is sector-specific, built for fast-growing sectors such as NFTs, Gaming, and DeFi.
It is built on Substrate, which means the blockchain can be run entirely autonomously and doesn't depend on any external technology to run. Its unique infrastructure design enables its ecosystem to maintain high performance while it adapts and scales to bring blockchain to the masses.
This is enabling Porta to focus on its goal of giving everyone access to Web3 products with a seamless and easy-to-understand experience for both new and seasoned blockchain users.
It recently launched its test product, allowing already established or new projects to take advantage by leasing parachain slots to fulfil their objectives. This test brings Porta one step closer to fully releasing its network and allowing developers around the globe to build web3 products.
