Photon Integrates Portal Swap SDK to Promote Cross-Chain Trading while Staying in Ecosystem

Photon, a decentralized, builder-friendly Bitcoin L2 solution to hyperscale the next generation of Bitcoin’s on-chain ecosystem announced today a new integration with Portal DeFi, the world’s first trust-minimized Layer 2 cross-chain swaps protocol that involves no bridges, custody or wrapping. The integration will provide Photon users access to Portal Network’s liquidity via its Swaps SDK, allowing users to buy and sell native BTC, ETH, and other cross-chain cross-layer assets without leaving the Photon ecosystem.

“We are thrilled to broaden access to future $PTON liquidity and more Photon ecosystem assets with this integration. This partnership aligns with our core mission to scaling the Bitcoin economy via improved user accessibility provided by Portal’s product stack.” — @tanknezaar.

The first of its kind, Portal facilitates trust minimized, cross-chain swaps that involve no bridges, custody or wrapping. This new partnership will allow the broader Photon community to benefit from the liquidity of the Portal DEX Network (wallets, DEXs and bridges using Portal swaps SDK) enabling them to buy and sell both native and bridged fungible and non-fungible assets directly insider their apps, as well as swap their native project tokens one-click with native BTC, BRC20s, and other cross-chain, cross-layer assets. With the integration, Photon will support liquidity pools of $PTON token in Portal’s cross-chain DEX.

“Joining us on a mission to make Bitcoin accessible to all, our partnership with Photon looks to bring increased liquidity and seamless accessibility to Photon and Portal communities,” said Chandra Duggirala, co-founder and CEO of Portal. “By integrating the $PTON token into the Portal DEX network, we look to increase accessibility through one-click cross-chain trading and look forward to continuing this long-term partnership with the Photon team.”
