+# Portal Loop
+
+Portal Loop is an always-up-to-date staging testnet that allows for using
+the latest version of Gno, Gno.land, and TM2. By utilizing the power of Docker
+& the [tx-archive](https://github.com/gnolang/tx-archive) tool, the Portal Loop can run the latest code from the 
+master branch on the [Gno monorepo](https://github.com/gnolang/gno), 
+while preserving most/all the previous the transaction data. 
+
+The Portal Loop allows for quick iteration on the latest version of Gno - without
+having to make a hard/soft fork. 
+
+Below is a diagram demonstrating how the Portal Loop works:
+```

+## Using the Portal Loop
+
+The Portal Loop deployment can be found at [gno.land](https://gno.land), while
+the exposed RPC endpoints can be found on `https://rpc.gno.land:443`. The RPC endpoint
+list can be found in the [reference section](../reference/rpc-endpoints.md).
+
+### A warning note
+
+While allowing for quick iteration on the most up-to-date software, the Portal Loop
+has some drawbacks:
+- If a breaking change happens on `master`, transactions that used the previous version of
+Gno will fail to be replayed, meaning **data will be lost**. 
+- Since transactions are archived and replayed during genesis, 
+block height & timestamp cannot be relied upon.
