TORONTO, Jan. 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - TerraZero Technologies Inc. ("TerraZero" or the "Company"), a vertically integrated Metaverse technology company, announced a significant six-digit USD investment in Solana-based Metaverse platform Portals (www.theportal.to), which represents the largest Portals transaction ever at the time of purchase.

The NFT, 'Vision #4,' represents a 'Vision'-space on the Portals Metaverse platform, a Metaverse running on the Solana blockchain. Solana is uniquely competitive in the Metaverse space as the blockchain incurs minimal to zero gas fees and other transaction fees.

Recently, major industry names and players like Binance.US (www.binance.us), FTX.US (www.ftx.us), the U.S. arm of crypto exchange FTX (www.ftx.com), Raydium (www.raydium.io), Magic Eden (www.magiceden.io), Audius (www.audius.co), Bonfida (www.bonfida.org), and others will have a presence in the Portals Metaverse. Solana is backed by a group of principals from around the world, comprising of entrepreneurs, engineers, designers, and developers.

Dan Reitzik, Blockchain-veteran, CEO and Founder of TerraZero, states:

"We will back the platforms which have the infrastructure and versatility built for the long-term. More and more people are going to understand how much Metaverse platforms will bring the real world into the virtual world and the virtual world into the physical world. TerraZero works to build the products and services users, businesses, and brands need to scale in the Metaverse at the highest level."

What can a company like TerraZero do with a six-figure USD NFT in the Portals Metaverse? 'Vision #4' is one of 75 Vision Portals currently available, granting access to a competitive, fully-furnished piece of digital real estate. Portals' mission is to create and grow a thriving downtown scene, inviting new users to leverage land and token value for early adopters.

Key cards offer a complete space where players can enter fully-furnished, customizable environments. Portals also features fully integrated audio and video chat functionality, allowing access card owners to invite friends, host events, and organize gatherings - a complete virtual experience. These kinds of conveniences and readily-immersive platforms expedite onboarding and remove barriers to entry for all users looking to experience the Metaverse.

TerraZero plans to not only own and operate premium land in the Metaverse, but grow community and form partnerships that leverage the best of the Metaverse as the digital world and real world continue to intertwine.
