My Timeline is heavily flooded with, @portal posts, So I thought to give y'all a little insight into the Portal ecosystem. Let's see INTRODUCTION @portal was founded in 2018 and is headquartered in San Francisco. They recently rebranded from Portal DeFi to Portal to Bitcoin, highlighting its dedication to Bitcoin-focused interoperability. It is the only custodyless cross-chain infrastructure for native Bitcoin. Where you can swap BTC, ETH, SOL, and any other L1 or L2. Furthermore, their atomic swap technology can be used for general purposes, like a market for data and computation. Portal’s goal is to replace the web server model, which has been prone to centralization by design and architecture, with a free market for data and computation. Sounded well, then should even be better. Its TEAM and FUNDING They have raised 42.5 million USD funding from notable investors like- - Coinbase - Shima Capital - OKX Venture and so on. Caldera only raised about 25 million, remember🥶 Portal's Co-Founder @geoburke is the 1st Bitcoin debit card creator. I know you’re not a fan of tech, but for those who care: Core Tech & Infrastructure: Atomic Swaps (MP-HTLCs) This feature utilizes multi-party hash for time-locked contracts for trust minimized along with cross-chain swaps. BitScaler & Portal OS It is a proprietary Layer‑3 solution, enabling channel factory architecture for scalable, custodyless, and cross-chain swaps. Notary Chain & TSS Validators Decentralized authority via threshold, signature-based notary chain that ensures no single validator can control funds. This is a huge W. Lightning Network Integration It leverages the Lightning Network for fast and low-fee Bitcoin transfers, which enhance atomic swap operations. Atomic swap and TSS Validator model minimizes counterparty and custody centralization risks. This can have a positive impact on decentralization.
