Portals | 2024 Development Resource

A look back at Portals in 2024, including major product developments, opportunity expansions, collaborations, and more.

January 9, 2025

This past year has been nothing short of a whirlwind for Decentralized Finance and the broader Blockchain/cryptocurrency space. Existing markets have grown significantly, new markets were born, technologies have emerged onto the scene to disrupt industries, and mainstream adoption has continued to push boundaries. The industry momentum is undeniable.

As 2025 kicks off, we’re taking a moment to provide an overview of the past year’s developments in a single convenient resource. From expanding our product offerings to refining our APIs, enhancing user tools, and incorporating new integrations, we’re working to solidify Portals as an essential part of the DeFi ecosystem in 2025 and beyond.


Product Expansion

The Portals suite of DeFi-focused products grew in 2024, adding two major new tools to its roster:

  • Warpdrive DeFi Aggregator: This groundbreaking tool makes even the most complex DeFi strategies accessible, offering users unparalleled aggregation capabilities for swaps and zaps.

  • Portals Swap Widget: A low-code, easily customizable solution that lets any website integrate Swap & Zap functionalities seamlessly. Perfect for projects looking to enhance user engagement without technical overhead.

As we move into 2025, a year shaping up to be dominated by AI advancements, Portals products will be ready to take full advantage of these powerful new capabilities.


API Upgrades

APIs are the backbone of data-driven decision-making in DeFi, and Portals has made significant strides to ensure developers have access to the most comprehensive & versatile data. These upgrades allow developers and builders to access an even broader and richer dataset for their projects:

  • Historical Data Endpoints: Unlock insights from past trends to inform future strategies, manage risk, and provide transparency to your project’s users.

  • Transaction Endpoints: Gain granular details about withdrawals, deposits, swaps, timestamps, amounts, and more, empowering builders to create with precision.

  • Token Holder Endpoints: Access detailed transaction information and portfolio changes of any individual wallets, no matter which Portals-supported EVM network.

Portals’ ultimate goal is to provide full coverage and the most robust selection of data endpoints available, bridging the gap between past and present data.


Step-by-Step Guides

While integration and usage of the Portals DeFi API is user-friendly, we understand the value of clear guidance to master its finest features. That’s why we’ve created a range of Step-by-Step Guides and overhauled our Docs page.

These resources ensure users can implement complex DeFi workflows with copy-paste simplicity, regardless of coding language:

The late-2024 revamp of our Docs page has further reduced the barrier to integration, ensuring even faster onboarding for new builders.


Dashboard Updates

Portals’ User Dashboard is an indispensable tool for our API integrators, providing a comprehensive overview of your API keys, trading data, and implementation analytics. In 2024, we introduced several major updates to the dashboard that have taken its functionality to the next level:

  • Team Page: Enables seamless collaboration for project teams.
  • Insights & Trading Data: Expands access to insights for improved decision-making.
  • Usage Tab: Tracks API activity in detail to ensure efficiency and optimization.

Looking ahead to planned dashboard developments, 2025 will bring even more enhancements to make the Portals dashboard the main hub for all integrator actions.


Network Expansions

We don’t add networks lightly. Our current stable of supported EVM networks are some of the most popular in the space. Each additional network is chosen to provide developers, builders, and users with meaningful new opportunities. This year, we were proud to launch on Fraxtal, the modular Layer 2 rollup developed by Frax Finance.

Fraxtal became the first network to publicly integrate our Warpdrive DeFi Aggregator.

As we continue to streamline deployment processes, 2025 promises to bring even greater network reach and accessibility to Portals.

API Integration & Project Spotlights

The Portals API is the backbone of numerous innovative projects. Our Integration Spotlight series celebrates these collaborations, offering deep dives into some of the most compelling use cases:

Here are some of our announced integrations:

Portals strives to provide the most diverse and comprehensive protocol portfolio in the space, delivering unparalleled yield opportunities for all users and protocol access to builders.
