Been following Portal more closely lately since the announced their airdrop would be worth X figure and it’s wild how overlooked atomic swaps are in the whole “bridge” conversation.

Portal doesn’t rely on wrapped assets or validator trust games. It uses real atomic swaps between chains secured by Bitcoin and powered by ZK + HTLCs.

No middlemen. No custodied BTC.
Just peer-to-peer trades, settled trustlessly.

With tBTC as the native asset and atomic swaps as the engine, Portal isn't just connecting Bitcoin to DeFi .it's doing it the way Satoshi would’ve wanted: secure, decentralized, and unstoppable.
