Hard to put this into words.
But my journey with @PortaltoBitcoin to Bitcoin started way before the hype.
🌀 2021 — @ZephyrBoy_ in a private group drops the alpha → No site, no token, no noise → Just a vision: bridge-less swaps, custodyless cross-chain, native Bitcoin infra And I was in.
🔧 v1 Testnet drops → Won X Lite Nodes → Used the Portal DEX when it barely held together → Swaps were clunky, RPCs broke — but it worked → First time I saw BTC go cross-chain without a bridge Knew it was real.
🎮 v2 Testnet = game on → They turned testing into a full-on experience → Quests, community raids, puzzles → Ended with 3000+ Spark → Vibes were immaculate
📛 Then came the Badges → Minted early → Knew the airdrop was coming, but stuck around regardless

This isn’t just another chain. It’s a protocol that rewrites onchain interoperability using atomic swaps, Lite Nodes, and validator incentives — all natively rooted in BTC.
No wrapped assets. No bridges. No middlemen.
Just pure, verifiable swaps.
And $PTB is the fuel. With emissions tied to volume, validator demand, and LP incentives — plus buyback burns from every swap…
This thing is built different.
I’ve been here since day zero. Tested. Played. Held. Talked. And I’m still here.
Not just because I’m bullish. But because Portal is the only one that makes sense.
Let’s finish the mission.
XXXXX engagements
