🤝 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽𝘀 & 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 Partnerships and integrations act as 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗲 𝗺𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗿𝘀 by 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗹𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗳𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗰𝗿𝗼𝘀𝘀 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀 and 𝗽𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗼𝗻𝗯𝗼𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘀. Our vision is to position Portal to become the default cross-chain swap layer in DeFi by: ⛓️ 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗯𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀 As soon as SOL swaps are fully tested and running flawlessly, our devs will focus on connecting Portal to other chains. Adding more EVMs will be a lot quicker to implement, as ETH swaps have already been successfully deployed and stress-tested. 🔄 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗽𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝗗𝗞 We're currently in talks with partners such as 1inch, CowSwap, Camelot, Radium, and Orca, among others, to integrate the Portal SDK into their platforms. Once implemented, users can seamlessly perform cross-chain swaps within their favorite dApp without losing custody of their assets or resorting to wrapped tokens, all powered by our trust-minimized atomic swaps tech operating in the background.

🚰 𝗟𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 Liquidity is central to Portal's growth strategy. Institutional LPs are already showing interest and onboarding, but everyone is welcome to join. After all, there's no such thing as too much liquidity! Now, let's explore what makes our LP model so unique: 🔐 𝗨𝗻𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗱 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆: Non-custodial pools eliminate the risks of validators colluding or funds being rugged 👑 𝗡𝗼 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗶𝘀𝗲: LPs retain full self-custody of their assets until the swap is processed successfully 📊 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵 𝗬𝗶𝗲𝗹𝗱𝘀: 65% of $PTB's emissions will go directly to LPs 🔄 𝗙𝗹𝘆𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝗘𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁: Safe liquidity → deeper order books → better swaps → more demand → even higher yields "𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘮𝘰𝘥𝘦𝘭 𝘪𝘴 𝘥𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘨𝘯𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘶𝘤𝘬 𝘭𝘪𝘲𝘶𝘪𝘥𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘶𝘯𝘴𝘢𝘧𝘦 𝘋𝘌𝘟𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘗𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘢𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘪𝘲𝘶𝘪𝘥𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘩𝘶𝘣 𝘰𝘧 𝘋𝘦𝘍𝘪."
