== The F.O.X. Portal ==

One of Furality's most significant technical contributions to VRChat event management is the '''F.O.X. Portal''' — a custom-built web application that solves the fundamental scaling problem of running a convention for tens of thousands of simultaneous VRChat users.

VRChat worlds have a maximum capacity per instance (typically 40–80 users). A convention with 20,000+ attendees cannot exist in a single world — it must be distributed across hundreds of simultaneous instances. Furality's solution:

* '''Dynamic instance creation''' — The F.O.X. Portal automatically spins up new world instances on demand as capacity fills
* '''Attendee navigation''' — Registered attendees log into the web portal, view the live event schedule, and select which instance to join — receiving a VRChat invitation directly to their VR menu
* '''Friends grouping''' — The portal allows users to join specific instances to be with their friends
* '''Hundreds of instances''' — At peak events, Furality manages hundreds of simultaneous world instances across all five convention worlds

This infrastructure required '''a commercial agreement with VRChat''' — an ongoing licensing relationship that grants Furality the API access and scale needed to operate. This makes Furality one of the largest formal commercial event partners VRChat has ever supported.
