Many people say that Bitcoin is "outdated" and think it is only suitable for hoarding as digital gold. However, the real problem is not that Bitcoin itself is useless, but that no one has properly built a usable cross-chain infrastructure for it. @PortaltoBitcoin aims to solve this core issue. They are not creating a new public chain to compete on performance, but rather redesigning a system that allows Bitcoin to operate across chains, centered around "sovereignty." Their philosophy is straightforward: you should not have to give up control of your BTC to participate in the ecosystem of other chains; the assets in your wallet always belong to you. This architecture, called Sovereign Stack, is essentially a complete set of non-custodial cross-chain tools. No bridges, no custody, and no forced asset swaps. The underlying technology, BitScaler, was born to meet the demand for "free switching while fully self-custodied." This may not seem very exciting, but to be honest, compared to the current hype around a bunch of "liquidity reinventing" projects, Portal's direction seems more like the key to restoring Bitcoin's sense of presence. If it can really get off the ground, the role of BTC will not just be to sit idle, but to directly become the underlying driving force of various chain DeFi ecosystems. It truly achieves "I am on the chain, but sovereignty is still in my hands." This is the position Bitcoin should have. It has a leaderboard event on @KaitoAI, Backpack.
