Good morning @PortaltoBitcoin family
Mainnet is now XX% complete.
Will you yap now or cope later? 
Because once it’s live, the game won’t just change , it will flip.
Someone might be asking: “Why Portal?”
Why not just stick with what we already have?
Here’s the truth:

Portal is building the first truly trust-minimized bridge between Bitcoin and other chains no wrapping, no custodians, no compromises.

Most “Bitcoin on DeFi” solutions today rely on wrapped BTC, which means trusting third-party custodians to hold your real Bitcoin while giving you an IOU on another chain. That’s not Bitcoin’s ethos.
That’s not sovereign money. That’s another point of failure.
Portal says no more.

With Portal, Bitcoiners can:
Access DeFi on other chains without giving up custody
Stay true to Bitcoin’s core principles of self-sovereignty and decentralization
Use a trust-minimized Layer X that doesn’t require smart contracts on Bitcoin
Enable cross-chain swaps that are fast, private, and secure

We’re closer than ever.
The window to fade this project is closing fast.

Are you ready?
