I didn't expect that the project Port3 Network, in which I participated a year ago to earn points, would be included in the Binance Square article!
Remember when every tweet had the #Port3 project tag? It was crazy, and it ranked highly. I don't know exactly how much it earned, but it should be a substantial amount. Since this call for articles has come up, let’s take another look at this project, as well as my views on the $PORT3 token and more!
As a BNB Chain MVB V incubated project, it just completed the migration of its token from ERC20 to BNB Chain, increasing transaction speed by 5 times and reducing Gas fees by 90%. The BNB Chain official has also praised and supported this. This operation significantly enhances user experience, especially in the current environment, where low-cost and high-efficiency foundational ecosystem options better meet user needs.
I. Core of the Project: Using AI and data to help Web3 projects solve major problems
What Port3 does can be summarized as 'bridging Web2 and Web3 data' — integrating your actions on social platforms like Twitter and Discord with on-chain transactions and blockchain activities like NFT trading to form an analytical tool. This is extremely useful for Web3 projects, especially since many are lacking in users and analytical tools. Port3's SoQuest platform can help them run campaigns to attract new users and use the AI tool Rankit to filter reliable projects and warn of risks.
To give a down-to-earth example:
Rankit acts like a 'project quality inspector': it uses AI to score projects, helping you identify which ones are high-risk tokens, and can also show recent trending sectors through a popularity map, such as DeFi, NFT, or Meme coins, helping you anticipate trends in advance.
SoQuest acts like a 'user acquisition magic tool': project teams can post tasks (like following Twitter or joining Discord), users complete tasks to earn rewards, allowing projects to quickly gain followers. Currently, 800,000 users have participated in activities through SoQuest, with over 1,800 projects onboarded, showing high activity.
In short, Port3 solves two pain points with data and AI: helping project teams acquire customers at a low cost and helping users filter projects more intelligently to reduce risks. This combination of 'data + AI' isn't just abstract in Web3; it’s quite practical.
II. Product Matrix: From task platforms to AI infrastructure
Port3 has a pretty complete product system:
SoQuest: A Web3 task platform where users complete on-chain/off-chain tasks to earn rewards, and project teams use it for community operations. For example, participating in AMAs or joining Discord communities can be automatically verified by bots, and airdrops can also be distributed.
Rankit: A newly launched AI tool that can analyze project popularity, user behavior, and even predict market opportunities. This function is quite practical for investors, especially in the information explosion of the crypto circle, as it can filter out most ineffective information.
SoGraph: A data dashboard that displays market trends and KOL activity, suitable for project teams to conduct refined operations.
Layer 2 solutions: Based on OP Stack, improving data processing efficiency, reducing costs, and potentially supporting more on-chain applications in the future.
The recent launch of Binance Alpha is an important milestone for Port3. Users trading $PORT3 on Binance Alpha can enjoy double trading volume points, and the transaction fees are quite low, which is very friendly for volume strategies. I’ve tried using BNB for volume, adjusting the slippage to 0.01%. Although it takes time, the loss is small. However, you need to monitor the K-line, which is suitable for players with time.
III. Investment Logic: The current market capitalization is not high, and it’s in a hot AI sector.
Port3 currently has a market capitalization of about over 10 million USD, which is relatively cheap compared to similar projects. The team background is strong, with major institutions like Jump Crypto and Binance Labs investing. More importantly, it has its own advantages in the AI + data sector — accumulating 6 million users and data from over 7,000 projects over three years, which is invaluable for training AI models, essentially a 'treasure' that is hard for others to replicate.
In my view, it is suitable for those who want to keep an eye on the AI and Web3 data sectors in the long term. The entry cost is not high now, but one must be mentally prepared for possible 'volatility' and not expect to get rich overnight; it’s more appropriate to observe as a long-term target.
IV. Two points worth paying attention to in the future
Port3 has been quite active in the South Korean market recently, not only building local communities but also collaborating with various media outlets, which is expected to attract a wave of new users. In the long run, its planned AI Agent is intriguing — simply put, it aims to make AI the 'intelligent brain' of on-chain applications, helping DeFi projects analyze data in real-time and providing support for market predictions. If it can truly be implemented, its role would extend beyond the current tool level, presenting a vast imaginative space.
As an early user, I believe Port3 has a benefit: it doesn’t engage in hype. Unlike some projects that rely solely on concept hype, its products are genuinely usable (like SoQuest for task completion and Rankit for project checks), and the data accumulation is solid (6 million users, 7,000+ project data). While it’s uncertain if it can achieve significant success in the future, at least it is tangible and worth ongoing observation.
A final reminder: crypto market fluctuations are unpredictable. Even if you think the project is good, you should operate within your acceptable range. Always check official information before investing; don’t just listen to others, especially regarding smart contracts and project disclosure details. Conduct your own research for peace of mind!
