As part of Wormhole’s ongoing commitment to user experience improvements, Portal’s latest upgrade brings advanced token transfer capabilities to its main interface, eliminating the need to navigate through the advanced tools page for unlisted tokens. Users can now paste any token contract address directly into Portal’s main interface for seamless cross-chain transfers.

Why This Matters

Portal, powered by Wormhole Connect, traditionally offered a predefined list of supported tokens on its main interface. Users seeking to transfer unlisted tokens had to access the advanced tools page, requiring additional technical knowledge. The latest update eliminates this complexity, making token transfers more intuitive for all users.

Key Improvements
  • Direct Token Address Input: Users can now paste any token contract address directly into Portal’s main interface, and the token will appear in the selection list for transfers.
  • Streamlined User Experience: All token transfers now happen through one unified interface. No more navigating through advanced tools.
  • Immediate Token Support: New tokens can be transferred immediately upon launch without waiting for inclusion in Portal’s predefined token list.
What’s Next

This upgrade sets the foundation for upcoming improvements to Portal’s token transferring capabilities. The next phase will introduce single-transaction transfers for all tokens through an enhanced Token Bridge Relayer, further simplifying the cross-chain transfer process.
