# Portal

The Portal is a smart contract that performs a deflationary function and a staking function in the economy. The Portal is humanity's last chance for a new life and the continuation of its existence. It is necessary to collect most of the energy available from the planet's [Core](/deepmine/deepmine-entities/core.md) to launch and build the portal. The DME that comes from the [Government ](/deepmine/deepmine-entities/government.md)due to the funds' circulation in the economy is spent for the portal construction. 

* It's necessary to spend a fixed amount of DME to build a portal.
* The portal is the source of the [DAO ](/deepmine/deepmine-entities/dao.md)power for Citizens.
* A citizen must stake DMP or burn DME in the Portal to receive DMP and as a result DAO power.
* The portal gets DME from the government and burns it during its construction.
* The portal construction can be accelerated by direct funding from [Citizens](/deepmine/deepmine-entities/game-roles/citizen.md). 

The end of the portal construction marks the end of phase 3 of the game and the transition to the next phase, where the game universe will be expanded with the introduction of new game mechanics, [Roles](/deepmine/deepmine-entities/game-roles.md), and in-game elements.
