Developed by MultiversX Labs, xPortal is a digital crypto wallet and global payments “Super app” that allows users to exchange and securely manage crypto on their mobile phones.
Working to become an easy-to-use portal for Web3 apps and Metaverse experiences, xPortal includes a suite of features designed to seamlessly integrate digital finance, money, and cryptocurrencies, along with social features such as end-to-end encrypted messaging, or AI avatars.
With just a few taps or the simple sending of a message, users can easily send and receive money, cryptocurrencies, and NFTs, make payments, use a debit card, track investments, and explore financial, crypto, and NFT ecosystems.
Web3 Power
Web3 and Metaverse have become popular terms when people discuss the future of the internet. It can be seen that blockchain technologies, non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and cryptocurrencies have also become hot topics over the last few years.
Web3 is considered one of the significant evolutions in the internet, the technology allows users to control and own their data, creations, digital assets, and online identities.
The idea of Web3 is to create a more democratized internet where no single entity controls the flow of information, therefore, it aims to use blockchain technology to decentralize the internet and take away central control from any third party.
Meanwhile, the Metaverse is a three-dimensional virtual world that combines VR, AR, video, and blockchain to set up virtual worlds, resembling the real world and allow humans to coexist in the form of avatars and digital figures.
What Is xPortal?
Not only do both Web3 and Metaverse aim to offer a user-centric web experience, but Web3 and Metaverse technologies also perfectly support each other.
Web3 can allow the seamless use of cryptocurrency and NFTs as the economic backbone in the Metaverse while the Metaverse will interlink different virtual worlds and bring assets from one to another.
As the Web3 Metaverse relationship is expected to manifest a new kind of internet, many projects have been developed to change the things people can do on it. The xPortal Super App of MultiversX Labs is an example.
MultiversX, formerly called Elrond, rebranded itself to MultiversX to signal a shift to the metaverse and Web3 integrations built on its prior work as a layer 1 blockchain. The launch of the xPortal is considered an instrumental step for the company to build the backbone for a new digital financial system.
Therefore, users can use xPortal to send and receive crypto near-instantly, to and from anyone around the world.
