Most cross chain protocols require wrapped tokens (e.g., wBTC), introducing custodial risk. 

@PortaltoBitcoin instead uses atomic swaps, enabling users to swap native Bitcoin for assets on other chains like Ethereum or Monero without third parties or bridges.

Why this is important?

= This reduces attack surfaces seen in bridge hacks.

= Empowers direct peer to peer trades.

= No reliance on trusted third parties or intermediaries.

= This approach is more aligned with Bitcoin’s trust minimized ethos.

= Permissionless access.

= No centralized control.

= Privacy preserving features.

= Portal’s atomic swap model eliminates the need for bridges altogether.
