Dive into a multi-chain world where DeFi is being revolutionized by Portal’s innovation — Atomic Swaps.

We are proud to announce another significant achievement: The Atomic Frontier Series. This series will host live product demonstrations led by industry leaders, showcasing Portal’s Atomic Swaps. Join us and witness industry experts unveil the game-changing potential of cross-chain transactions.

Our Goal is to make Portal the Gateway to Hyperbitcoinization

Our journey began as a passionate quest by the Portal team. Their unwavering determination led to the birth of a transformative technology that could simplify and secure cross-chain transactions. After numerous brainstorming sessions, fuelled by countless cups of coffee and sketches on whiteboards, the concept of Atomic Swaps materialized.

In 2018, the founders of Portal took the proverbial leap of faith, delving into the complex process of creating a technology that could natively exchange NFTs, tokens, and other digital assets across different chains, thereby overcoming blockchain limitations. This was an uncharted path, but their vision propelled them forward, bringing the dream of Atomic Swaps to life.
Fast forward to a few months ago when we reached the pivotal milestone of successfully completing the 1st in the world Cross-chain Atomic Swap on L2 Bitcoin & L2 Ethereum.

This accomplishment forever marked Portal’s history and validated our founders’ vision: Innovation can facilitate a transparent, decentralized, interchain liquidity solution.

Driven by the success of this demo, our team dedicated the following months to refining our technology, introducing numerous improvements for a more seamless and secure experience.

What to expect from the Atomic Frontier series?

We are now preparing for a new chapter and are excited to introduce the Atomic Frontier Series. Here, our team will walk you through the intricacies and specifics of this groundbreaking technology. Witness the first-hand exchange of NFTs, Ordinals, tokens, and other digital assets across multiple chains, eliminating the need for bridges or third-party intermediaries. It’s a stride into the future of DeFi, a future where cross-chain transactions are simplified and secured by Bitcoin.

This journey wouldn’t be complete without you, our community. We invite you to join us on this exhilarating journey and experience the future of DeFi firsthand.

Brace yourselves for a leap into the future as the first demo, Cross-Chain Ordinals Atomic Swaps, rolls out this week.

Stay tuned!
