So you think Bitcoin can’t be part of DeFi? Think again.
For years, wrapped BTC was the only way to access DeFi but that was bitcoin-free DeFi. It relied on IOUs, centralized custody, and risky bridges. That era is over.
@PortaltoBitcoin flips the script: real, native BTC not wrapped moves across chains via atomic swaps with no custody risk. Using BitScaler’s channel factory model, MP‑HTLCs, and validator attestations, they’re building a true BTC-native DeFi layer.
What surprised me most: their Aurelia Testnet delivered nearly 2M transactions in just two weeks, with 150K+ downloads all using real BTC swaps, not synthetic copies. And LiteNode holders get rewarded via emission share not speculative yield farming.
If you’re still dismissing Bitcoin as static “digital gold,” you’re missing a major shift. Portal is turning BTC into programmable liquidity, and DeFi is finally respecting Bitcoin’s original promise.
