In a landmark development for the decentralized finance (DeFi) on Bitcoin, Bitcoin-based Automated Market Maker (AMM) Ordiswap — fresh off its December $3.4M raise — is thrilled to announce an integration partnership with Portal Swaps SDK, the first Layer 2, cross-chain atomic swap-based AMM built on Bitcoin.

This collaboration will revolutionize liquidity dynamics by enabling cross-chain swaps between Bitcoin, Ethereum L1 and L2 assets, with Ordiswap’s innovative BRC-20 & Ordinals market.

Ordiswap’s Innovative Technology Meets Portal’s Secure L2, Cross Chain DEX

OrdiSwap’s AMM for Bitcoin-based BRC-20 tokens integrates off-chain server management with BRC-20’s unique tokenization capabilities. By integrating Portal Swaps SDK, Ordiswap’s AMM will have enhanced cross-chain swap capabilities.

The partnership will capitalize on Ordiswap’s core products:

Ordiswap introduces the first BTC-native AMM, offering users a choice between a Layer 1 infrastructure with an off-chain balance state or a fully decentralized Layer 2 option. Ordiswap is backed by Genblock Capital, Monday Capital, In Square Ventures, X Ventures, D64 Ventures, Rana Capital, DWF Labs, Pleb Capital, HSC, UDAO, InshallahDAO & more.

Portal’s Bitcoin-based cross-layer, cross-chain, L2 atomic Swaps SDK brings the broader market’s multi-chain liquidity to Ordiswap’s innovative products, heralding Bitcoin’s long-awaited DeFi evolution, without the risk of custodians, bridges or wrapping.

DeFi accessibility across EVM-based and Bitcoin-based Assets

This partnership represents a significant step in enhancing DeFi protocols on the Bitcoin network. Combining Portal’s robust security & groundbreaking bridgeless swaps with Ordiswap’s innovative technology, the collaboration sets new benchmarks in decentralized exchange platform security and operational efficiency.

While $ORDS, Ordiswap’s primary digital asset is ERC-20 Ethereum-based, Ordiswap’s upcoming token, $REOS, is a Bitcoin inscription-based BRC-20. Despite Ethereum and Bitcoin’s incompatibility, Portal Network can allow for direct trading between REOS and ORDS, or between other assets on different chains — and even BTC itself — all in one click.

The Path Forward

Pseudonymous founder of Ordiswap Labs, Gransax, shared his optimism: “We are excited to integrate Portal Swaps and their secure, seamless cross-chain atomic swapping solution between Layer 1 and 2 assets on both Bitcoin and Ethereum. Through this partnership, Ordiswap envisions vast possibilities opening up for a bright, interoperable Bitcoin DeFi future.”

Chandra Duggirala, CEO of Portal, expressed his excitement: “The integration into Ordiswap signifies a major leap in the Bitcoin DeFi ecosystem. Ordiswap’s approach to liquidity on Bitcoin’s network, combined with Portal Swap SDK’s security and cross-chain capabilities, unlocks new potential in DeFi on Bitcoin. We’re eager to see how this synergy will drive innovation and user empowerment.”
