Bitcoin DeFi is facing a critical moment, highlighted by Thorchain's recent challenges. This situation emphasizes the need for secure, trust-minimized, and seamless cross-chain infrastructure. Many existing solutions rely on obscurity to mask insecurity, which is inadequate for handling Bitcoin, the world's most scarce digital asset. @PortaltoBitcoin is positioned to lead in secure Bitcoin cross-chain transactions due to its unique approach: -Eliminates custodial risks entirely -No bridges, wrapped assets, or single points of failure -Based on trust-minimized atomic swaps -Users maintain full control of their assets -20-50x faster BTC > ETH swaps than competitors -90% lower costs Disclaimer: I am an investor in the project.
