If Bridges Were Secure, @PortaltoBitcoin Wouldn’t Exist But they’re not. So here we are. Building what should’ve been built from the start.
The crypto industry is still pretending bridges can be fixed.
Better multisigs. Improved audits. Decentralized relayers. LayerZero v3.
You know what all these have in common? They still rely on trust.
And that’s why @PortaltoBitcoin had to be built x @KaitoAI 👇
1/ Let’s be real:
Bridges are the worst part of crypto. They’re black boxes filled with IOUs, signatures, and backdoors. They’ve lost us over $XXX billion.
Every “upgrade” is another patch on a design that was broken from day one.
Portal didn’t patch it. It replaced it.
2/ Portal is a zero trust cross chain protocol.
That’s not just branding. It’s architecture.
No pooled assets. No oracles. No relayers. No multisigs. No wrapped tokens.
Every swap settles on chain. Or it doesn’t happen at all.
3/ Bridges ask: Do you trust our validators? Do you trust our smart contracts? Do you trust that our wrapped token is 1:1 backed?
Portal asks: Do you trust SHA-256? Do you trust timelocks? Do you trust Bitcoin’s base layer?
See the difference?
4/ The brilliance of Portal isn’t what it builds. It’s what it removes.
No intermediaries. No assumptions. No liabilities.
Just pure, cryptographic coordination between two chains executed or refunded. Nothing in between.
5/ Crypto doesn’t need a better bridge. It needs an exit from the bridge paradigm.
