Personally, I’m very impressed by this approach. While atomic swap technology isn’t new, very few projects have the patience or technical capability to implement it at scale—especially for cross-chain swaps involving Bitcoin. Portal chooses the harder path: building a non-custodial protocol using HTLCs (Hashed Time-Locked Contracts) to ensure assets always remain under user control, instead of deploying vulnerable, centralized bridges. What makes me trust this system is its transparency and security: No third-party trust required – the swap only happens if both parties fulfill their conditions. No central point of failure, so hackers have no “vault” to attack. And most importantly, users retain full control over their assets—something very rare in today’s crypto ecosystem. Portal isn’t just offering a technical solution—it’s making a bold statement: DeFi should belong to the users, not to intermediaries. With a trustless atomic swap foundation like this, I believe Portal is laying the groundwork for a safer, more decentralized, and truly crypto-native future for DeFi.
