# The world portal

The globe is a geographic discovery view inside Market. It connects the neighborhood experience to places beyond the street in front of you.

Open **World** to enter the portal. Select an available destination or illustrated place, inspect its details and use the close control to return to the neighborhood. A closer globe view is a separate action.

## Understanding the connections

The current portal uses illustrative examples. Light routes and animations describe connections in the experience. They do not establish a transfer of SOL, token trading volume, a business's participation or a fee payout.

When a view explicitly presents a registered project, check that project's own record and source. A line on the globe cannot replace a launch transaction, verified business relationship or payment receipt.

## Geographic presence and neighborhood placement

The real business address and its illustrated Market position serve different purposes. An illustration is a product presentation; the exact real-world branch is the identity used for sources and business attribution.

Being featured in a particular district does not increase a business's fee percentage or certify a token's quality. The directory and token record remain the places to inspect a project.

If the globe cannot render on your device, use the regular navigation and directory. You do not need to interact with the animation to create a Citizen Pass.
