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?
1⣠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
2⣠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
3⣠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
4⣠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
5⣠HTLC-Based & Non-Custodial
Portal: Assets remain fully user controlled (HTLC-based, trustless)
All other protocols: Use multisig custodial setups (user doesnât 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 todayâs post, I feel proud to be supporting Portal which has truly impressive technology đ
