Non-Custodial Delegation: Trustless Cross-Chain Liquidity Provision. Another breakthrough I found especially important is Portal’s solution to the custodianship problem in cross-chain AMMs, something that’s plagued other protocols like Chainflip or even THORChain. @PortaltoBitcoin introduces a non-custodial delegation model where Liquidity Providers interact with validator hubs through custom Lightning channels. These are built using a variation of Discreet Log Contracts (DLCs). The key innovation here is that validators never control user funds, so even if a validator tried to collude or go rogue, they couldn't steal anything. It’s a massive improvement over other systems that give validators too much power or rely on federated signing setups that can be attacked. Why This Matters. Most “bridging” solutions in crypto today are either custodial, wrapped or centralized at the validator layer. Portal throws all that out and starts fresh with Bitcoin-native infrastructure, a multi-chain AMM model, and a Lightning-powered Layer X that respects decentralization. This opens up a future where Bitcoin isn’t just a store of value locked away on its own chain but an active participant in a broader omnichain DeFi ecosystem, without compromising its core.
