Traditionally, accessing the features of a blockchain game requires connecting a crypto wallet like MetaMask, which facilitates interaction with decentralized applications (dApps) and in-game purchases. However, these games often utilize specific gaming tokens that might not be widely adopted or might even be restricted to a particular blockchain.

PortalPay seeks to bridge this gap by offering interoperability. Gamers can leverage PortalPay to pay for in-game assets using any of the over 5,000 digital assets it supports. This eliminates the need to convert currencies beforehand and allows players to use their preferred tokens for purchases within a game.
Furthermore, PortalPay benefits game developers as well. Through its “smartswap” feature, games can receive payments in their preferred cryptocurrencies, irrespective of the token used by the player. This simplifies the payment process for developers and eliminates the need to manage multiple currencies.
