Bitcoin always dominates headlines, but not DeFi.
Introducing the @PortaltoBitcoin.
This might be one of the biggest unlocks for Bitcoin that we’ve seen recently 👇🧵
2/ What is @PortaltoBitcoin?
Most “Bitcoin in DeFi” projects rely on wrappers (like wBTC) or bridges with risks.
Portal rejects that.
They’re building the first fully non-custodial way to trade BTC, Ordinals, and Runes across L1s/L2s / with no one holding your keys.
3/ The tech behind it?
- BitScaler → lets BTC scale horizontally w/ zero protocol changes
- Portal OS → cross-chain infra for swaps, liquidity, routing
- MP-HTLCs → atomic swaps that actually work fast & cheap
Portal decided to build it all natively around Bitcoin.
4/ Simplicity
They left behind the multi-sig vaults and clunky bridges.
@PortaltoBitcoin uses dynamic AMMs (ADMMs) that batch trades per block - basically minimizing gas fees and slippage.
Cross chain liquidity but without having to pay the price of security worries.
6/ Aurelia Testnet
Wanna earn before the crowd shows up?
@PortaltoBitcoin’s testnet (“Aurelia”) is live. Only 21K Litenodes will exist - each earning ongoing network rewards.
Do the tasks —> earn “sparks” —> climb the leaderboard
7/ Kaito x Portal
The Kaito Yapper Leaderboard for @PortaltoBitcoin is live too.
Rewards? Top contributors can earn 0.5% of the $PORTAL supply.
Take this thread as an example 🙂
