Dear Portkey community members,
We are delighted to announce that Portkey has completed a milestone update to V1.3.0 as of 9:00 AM (UTC), June 26.
The latest version introduces important and exciting functionalities that signify Portkey’s progression towards becoming the gateway of Web3: the newly added “Discover” section in the Portkey App and the connection functionality in the Portkey extension. Besides, V1.3.0 also enables fast and easy management of users’ connected sites.
“Discover” feature
The “Discover” section is a newly added tab accessible on the navigation bar of the Portkey App, designed to enable users’ connection with a wide variety of decentralized applications (DApps) and exploration of more interesting projects. Through timely notifications and curation, it aims to make the Web3 world easily accessible to Web2 users by consolidating all the interactive possibilities in one place.
For Portkey App users, through “Discover”, you can find and interact with DApps/platforms in aelf’s ecosystem, such as aelf explorer; moreover, you can explore all kinds of upcoming applications developed by both Web2 and Web3 developers. As Portkey matures and collaborates with more projects, items displayed in this section will gradually increase, catering to the diverse user needs, like GameFi, NFTs, DeFi, and so on without requiring users to look for them here and there.
Connection function
Similar to the Portkey App, the extension also enables users to link their Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) to the site or DApp they are visiting, facilitating their engagement with the offered features and functionalities.
If you use the Portkey extension on a browser, when you visit a site that supports connection with Portkey, you can directly click the login button (or buttons serving the same function) on that site. Then a pop-up window will be launched where you will be asked for authorization. Once confirmed by you, your Portkey account can be connected to the site and used to interact with it. You can also see the connection status on the top left-hand corner of the extension.
Management of connected sites
Another important feature is the ability to manage connected sites, available in both the extension and the App. This functionality empowers users to swiftly remove any potentially risky sites they have connected to, providing them with control over their accounts’ interactions and enhancing overall security.
As you visit or interact with a growing number of DApps and platforms, it may bother you when you try to manage the authorization given to numerous sites but yet can’t find the right way to do it. That’s why the latest Portkey adds a “Connected Sites” section to smooth your experience. Enter “My” — “Wallet Security” — “Connected Sites”, and you can have a direct view of which DApps/platforms you are currently connected to. You can disconnect from any site with one click. And when you need to use those DApps/platforms again, just visit the site and connect once more.
So Web2 and Web3 pioneers, if you have not tried Portkey yet, now is a good time to ride with us as Portkey will accelerate its progress of migrating users and developers from Web2 to Web3 with the V1.3.0 features.
