Portkey Website Updated to V1.1.0 with Latest Additions of “Use Case” and “Resources”

Blog Image

We are pleased to let you know that Portkey’s official website has been updated to V1.1.0. In the latest version. The website made two main additions: “Use Case” under the “Developer” section which showcases a demo DApp having implemented Portkey SDKs, and a whole new section named “Resources” which comprises subsections like “Blog” linking to Portkey’s Medium, and “Media Kit,” offering branding materials for co-marketing.

Use Case

The new “Use Case” can be found as a subsection under “Developers” which presents BingoGame, a gaming DApp that has successfully used Portkey’s software development kits (SDKs). By utilizing the SDKs, BingoGame enables users to create on-chain identities as well as to have on-chain contract addresses via Portkey DID solution, without needing to actually interact with the Portkey wallet. More importantly, the process requires users to do nothing more than create an account in the Web2 way. No private keys or other troublesome steps are involved. Users can store and manage their BingoGame digital assets with their Web3 identities and contract addresses seamlessly facilitated by Portkey’s DID solution and wallet-as-a-service.

Just like with BingoGame, all developers are welcome to leverage Portkey’s SDKs to build applications and onboard their users to Web3 in an easy and fast way. Once developers have explored BingoGame and gained insights into the seamless integration of our SDKs, they can return to Portkey’s homepage and continue browsing and accessing the documentation of Portkey SDK via “Developers” — “Documentation”. This ensures that all the essential resources and guidelines are readily available to support their development endeavors.

Resources

The “Resources” section, which you can find in both the navigation bar and footer, aims to provide you with key information about Portkey that you may find helpful, which consists of “Blog,” “Linktree,” and “Media Kit.”

By clicking on the “Blog” link, you will be directed to Portkey’s Medium site. Our blog provides timely information about new features, enhancements, and updates of our products and services, and also covers relevant events, industry trends, and insights. We encourage you to regularly visit this section and stay connected to our latest updates to stay ahead with the migration from Web2 to Web3 led by Portkey.

The “Linktree” feature serves as a hub where you can conveniently find and access all the social links of Portkey in one place, including Portkey’s community on Telegram or Discord, and social media on Twitter, Medium, and its YouTube channel. Add this page to your bookmark so that you can visit whichever social platforms of Portkey’s whenever you want.

The “Media Kit” page is also added to the “Resources” section for co-marketing purposes that contains a collection of branding materials, including Portkey’s logomarks and wordmarks. As an innovative Web3 wallet, we truly believe in the power of communities and partners who are more than welcome to use these materials and perform co-marketing together with Portkey.

As Portkey continues to progress, both as a smart contract wallet and in the realm of SDKs, our website will serve as the central hub for vital information. We are committed to regularly updating the website to ensure that it brings you the most timely and substantial information about Portkey as well as a pleasant user experience. Your feedback and suggestions are valuable to us, so please do not hesitate to reach out to us at support@portkey.finance with any ideas or recommendations you may have.
