Wrapped vs. Native: Why Portal Changes the Game

Most "Bitcoin DeFi" today isn’t really Bitcoin.
It’s wrapped tokens WBTC, renBTC reliant on bridges, custodians, and trust assumptions.

One smart contract bug? One bridge exploit? Funds gone.

Portal to Bitcoin flips that model.
🔸️ No wrapping
🔸️ No custodians
🔸️ No synthetic risk

Just native BTC swaps, peer-to-peer, enforced by Bitcoin’s own rules and finality.

It’s not just more secure.
It’s Bitcoin the way it was meant to be:
Decentralized. Composable. Borderless.

Wrapped BTC was a patch.
Portal is the real fix.
