🚨 Missed @PortaltoBitcoin’s “Road to Launch” X Space?

Here’s your ultra-brief recap from Ep.1 —everything you need to know in XX seconds:

1️⃣ Testnet V2 Closed
Cheaters purged, leaderboard adjusted. KYC + light node rewards coming via Portal Hub.

2️⃣ Infra Lessons Learned
1M+ wallets strained infra. Testnet will stay invite-only to focus on quality + stability.

3️⃣ Solana Integrated
Key to DEX volume. Despite tough challenges, Portal shipped Solana in under a month.

4️⃣ Real Growth, Powered by Kaito 
No fake metrics. 1M+ wallets, 14M+ txns, leaderboard grind boosted by micro-KOLs.

5️⃣ Portal University + Hub
Learn-to-earn, global activity map, wallet/social tracking — all in one place.

6️⃣ Why Custodyless Swaps Matter
No bridges. No CEX. Just HTLC-powered atomic swaps — fast, secure, and trustless.

7️⃣ Mainnet Outlook
Tech is ready — now it’s about scale, ops, and product-market fit.

Portal isn’t just building a product.
It’s building the future of trustless, cross-chain coordination.
