How can $BTC be used in DeFi without wrapping?
let's say you want to farm on meteora etc

→ You perform an atomic swap

→ You lock your native BTC in a Bitcoin transaction that’s part of a hashed timelock (HTLC) or adaptor-signature flow.

→ On the other side, you receive a $sol in the same cryptographic swap flow.

No one held your BTC in custody; either both sides settle or both refund.

→ After the swap, you now hold solana. 
the $sol is what you plug into solana DeFi (lend, LP, farm, trade).

notice how you didn’t “move” BTC to Solana. You exchanged BTC for a Solana-native, DeFi-usable asset in a trustless way. this is what @PortaltoBitcoin does for you.
