Little Breath Grid, friendly and cosy wirtual world decided to switch to Podex Exchange and builing our new office there there was just a pleasure. The implemenation of  new hypergriding option went smoothly and now avatars from all grids can buy and sell their products in this nice place. Visiting Little Breath will surely not be a waste of your time!

 

It is a next milestone in our history. We have implemented and tested  hypergrid transactions and you do not need to be a resident of a virtual world to buy, sell or transfer coins. You can be a hypergrid visitor and have possiblity to use our service as a native avatar. Virtual world owners need to make a small change in their grid software and we will do the rest. Do not hesitate to contact us for more details! 

We recommmend reading Maria Korolov article regarding this case.

 

Aviworlds, the grid listed in the chart of top 25 most active virtual worlds, decided to switch from Gloebit to Podex. We are happy to welcome new users  and want to remind that our service is always free and we never charge any fees, including intergrid and avatar-to-avatar transactions. Happy trading!

Update regarding Podex system failure. Good news! Our IT team managed to restore Podex system and all avatars can buy, sell and transfer coins as before.  


Podex service temporary failure
We are sorry to inform you that our services are temporarily suspended. It is caused by the big fire that destroyed some of OVH servers where our data was stored. We are still waiting when they restore it from back-ups. It can take some time so be patient please and give your real life a chance. 

You can follow the progress of work at Octavia Klaba's Twitter

 We are sorry to inform all our customers that we are not able to process cashouts from A51 WORLD grid at the moment. Please contact us if you have already made transfer to us and your coins are not returned to your account.

We made some minor changes to our Privacy Policy. As our business principle has always been to collect as little information as possible we did not have a lot of work to comply to new GDPR regulations. Changes mainly concerned your "right to be forgotten" and data transfer to a third party on your request.
Good news for all avatars. Transfers of coins between grids are free of charge since today. You can easily use your funds in every grid served by Podex Exchange.

Venture Worldz is the next grid who decided to use our service. Say hello to our new friends and do not hesitate to register and check what they offer!

We are sorry to inform that our cooperation with Genesis Metaverse Grid has been temporarily suspended. Please contact us by our web page in case on any problems. We will let know know about further steps soon.
Wishing only the best things in all the worlds wgere we we all exist I am sending you a virtual Christmas tree created by my friend Joanna from FlyBirds Box. Merry Christmas!

All Virtual Highway avatars are now given possiblity to cash out the VHs which they have on their accounts and purchase the new coins from Podex. Transfer to and from other grids is active too.
We are sorry to inform that we stopped proceeding the exchange of coins from grids supported by Podex into Inworldz currency. Since now, the only way to obtain Inworldz coins is to pay for them by Paypal or wire transfers. 

Good news for Genesis avatars. The owners decided to reopen it as Genesis Metaverse and asked us to cooperate with them again. Of course we happily agreed and now you can buy and sell Genesis Metaverse currency and exchange it for currencies of other grids. The Welcome Area is one of the most astonishing I have ever seen!
Neverworld is the next grid serviced by Podex. Welcoming owners offer not only typical locations but also intriguing roleplay area called Stillwater "A  place where, hidden among the pines or tucked on a tropical beach are spots to socialize and live, spaces to dance and meet up, and places to create and sell"
We are proud to present a new version of our banking system which will simplify the way we interact with our customers, especially the sellers of virtual coins. The main new features are: automatically updated exchange rates of real life currencies, simplified way of cashing out and, the most important, immediate transfer of coins between grids, which is now possible not only for Podex customers but all avatars inhabiting virtual space. You just pay the terminal and have coins in other grid!


Our clients will be surely happy to know that the list of grids supported by Podex Exchange has increased. This time we welcome 3rdLife Grid and The Encore Escape in our family. 

We welcome a new grid in Podex Exchange family. Great Welcome Area surrounded by astonishing landscapes of nearby parcels are the first impression when you enter Genesis Global Journey.
After careful consideration of our customers wishes we decided to implement features which should simplify all trading processes.
The main differences are in the way of purchasing coins, where the transaction is initiated in a grid, not on Podex web page and in the affiliate objects, which do not need any activation and can be distributed freely now.


We do hope that our new system will improve your virtual experience.
