Bitcoin is the world’s most secure and decentralized asset.
But most of it stays unused.

More than 62% of BTC has not moved in over a year.
This is not because people don’t want to use it.
It is because the tools have not existed.

In the past, using Bitcoin in DeFi meant wrapping it, sending it to another chain, or trusting a third-party service. These methods added risk and broke Bitcoin’s self-custody promise.

Portal to Bitcoin solves this problem.

Bitcoin holders will be able to use their capital in DeFi without giving up control.
No wrapping. No bridges. No third-party custody.

Bitcoin Is Capital. Portal Unlocks It.

Bitcoin is more than money.
With the right tools, it becomes productive capital.

Portal unlocks this value with one goal:
Let people use BTC across DeFi protocols without leaving the Bitcoin network.

Here is what Portal makes possible:

• Custodyless Liquidity Provision
  Provide liquidity directly from your wallet.
  No vaults. No synthetic tokens. No intermediaries.
  Bitcoin becomes part of DeFi’s liquidity layer.
• Bitcoin-Native Stablecoin Collateralization
  Use real BTC as collateral.
  No need to trust a custodian or move funds to another chain.
  Back stablecoins with native Bitcoin, not imitation tokens.
• Permissionless Trading and Strategies
  Trade digital assets directly from your wallet.
  Run strategies across chains without a centralized exchange.
  Stay in full control at all times.

This is how DeFi on Bitcoin should work.
No wrapped tokens. No bridges. No unnecessary risk.
Just real Bitcoin in a secure, self-custodied, and peer-to-peer system.

Real Bitcoin, Not Wrapped Bitcoin

As one Portal co-founder said during a community call:

• “Real Bitcoin, not this wrapped sh*t.”

Wrapped assets are copies.
They depend on bridges and custodians.
They add risk and remove user control.

Portal does the opposite.
It gives Bitcoin users real access to DeFi while keeping their assets on Bitcoin 💪

Why Solana? Why Now?

Solana is one of the most active DeFi ecosystems.
It is fast, affordable, and filled with strong protocols.

Until now, Bitcoin users had no way to access Solana without trusting bridges or wrapping BTC.

Portal fixes that 🔥

Soon, Bitcoin users will be able to use Solana-based DeFi directly from their Bitcoin wallet.
No wrapping. No bridging. No trust assumptions.

What Bitcoin-to-Solana Use Cases Look Like

Portal’s Solana integration opens the door to powerful opportunities 🤠

• Liquidity Provision
  Provide BTC-side liquidity into Solana AMMs.
  Use your wallet. No vaults. No middlemen.
• Yield Farming and Strategies
  Earn returns from Solana-based DeFi using real BTC.
  You never give up control.
• Stablecoin Collateralization
  Use native BTC to mint or trade stablecoins on Solana.
  No synthetic assets. No external custody.
• Arbitrage and Execution
  Take advantage of price gaps between ecosystems.
  Execute trades using atomic swaps, not centralized settlement.

Why Self-Custody Matters

Bitcoin users care deeply about security 🧐
That is why they choose Bitcoin in the first place.

Every major collapse in crypto, including Mt. Gox, Celsius, and FTX, had one root cause: users lost custody 😱 Portal avoids that completely.

With Portal:

• You hold your own keys
• You control your funds
• You stay sovereign, even when trading or earning

This system works for individuals, institutions, and funds alike.
It requires no permission and makes no compromises on control or security.

BitScaler: The Technology Behind It All

Portal runs on BitScaler, its core execution engine 😎
BitScaler connects Bitcoin to other blockchains without altering Bitcoin itself.

It uses Taproot, smart contracts, and off-chain logic to allow secure and fast trading.
It keeps user custody and network trust intact.

BitScaler enables:

• Horizontal scaling for more use cases
• Vertical scaling for more throughput
• Contract logic without changing Bitcoin
• Low fees and high performance backed by Bitcoin’s security

This is how innovation happens while protecting Bitcoin’s core principles.

What Comes Next

Portal is not a theory 🤓
It is live. And it is growing fast.

The Portal DEX proves that custodyless, trustless trading on Bitcoin is already real.

Here is what is next:

• More trading pairs
• New yield strategies
• Solana integration
• A fully custodyless, cross-chain DeFi system
