Portal is the most powerful ! Looking at the comparison table for @PortaltoBitcoin , it's clear that Portal has several advantages over competing protocols like Thorchain, Chainflip, Wormhole, LayerZero, and Axelar. Shall we take a quick look? 1⃣ Bridgeless Architecture Portal operates without a bridge so No bridge hack risk Other protocols operate Mostly bridge-based (except Chainflip) Portal leads in terms of security 2⃣ Native Bitcoin (BTC) Support Portal, Thorchain, Chainflip Support BTC directly Wormhole, LayerZero, Axelar Do not support BTC For users engaging in cross-chain BTC activity, Portal is far more useful 3⃣ Support for Multiple Bitcoin L2s (e.g. Lightning) Portal supports various BTC Layer 2s like Lightning All competitors are No L2 support Portal offers scalability and faster settlement, making it more practical for real-world use 4⃣ Fast & Simple Swaps Portal has One-click atomic swaps; BTC swaps are nearly instant via Lightning Thorchain, Chainflip: Support BTC swaps, but execution may take hours Wormhole, LayerZero, Axelar has No swap functionality only bridging ;separate DEX needed Portal delivers a superior user experience with fast, seamless swaps 5⃣ HTLC-Based & Non-Custodial Portal: Assets remain fully user controlled (HTLC-based, trustless) All other protocols: Use multisig custodial setups (user doesn’t fully control assets) Portal is the only one that maintains full decentralization and user ownership As we can see that, portal stands out among cross-chain infrastructure with unique advantages in Bitcoin support, security, transaction speed, and user wealth management As I was preparing today’s post, I feel proud to be supporting Portal which has truly impressive technology 😄
