Portal zavaruje 8.5 milijona dolarjev od Coinbase, Ventures Arrington XRP Capital in drugih za izgradnjo platforme DeFi na osnovi Bitcoin

San Francisco, United States, 21st September, 2021,

Portal ,a self-hosted Layer 2 wallet and true cross-chain DEX on Bitcoin that makes atomic swaps between Bitcoin and other digital assets fast, secure, and private, is delighted to announce the closing of an $8.5 million funding round to build a self-sovereign and uncensorable DeFi on Bitcoin. 

The funding round saw participation from Coinbase Ventures, ArringtonXRP Capital, OKEx, Republic.co, Shima Ventures, LD Capital, Monday Capital, GenBlock, Taureon, Autonomy Capital, Krypital, B21 Capital as well as the senior executives and founders of Ethereum, DFINITY, MobileCoin, Tether (USDT), Galaxy Digital, Bitcoin.com, Republic, Centre.io, Polymath, Æternity, Hedera Hashgraph, Blockstream, Reef Finance, GlobeDX, FIO, Portion, and 4K.

Michael Arrington, founder of ArringtonXRP & TechCrunch, said, “Decentralized cross-chain bridging is one of the hardest problems in crypto right now, especially as multiple blockchains gain real traction. We’re excited to see Portal’s Bitcoin-native approach to multichain transfers go live and provide an alternative bridging mechanism to the growing number of active onchain users.”

Brain Johnson from Republic Capital said “Interoperability is a necessity for blockchain to bridge into the mainstream finance world. Republic Capital invested in Portal with this future in mind. Utilizing Bitcoin’s security as an anchor, we believe the Portal and its team are in a unique position to build one of the leading bridges in DeFi.”

Portal offers the speed and liquidity of centralized platforms with the trust minimization guarantees of Bitcoin. From spot markets to options, p2p lending and borrowing, all using on-chain, peer to peer contracts and without third party custody or control, Portal unlocks Bitcoin’s potential to actually decentralize finance. 

At the core of Portal is its Layer 2 and Layer 3 technology, called Fabric, which is an open-source toolbox for deploying censorship-resistant layers on top of the Bitcoin base layer. Fabric enables the completely private, off-chain execution of “smart contracts” for asset issuance, P2P swaps, staking, liquidity, derivatives, and more. 

Portal CEO Eric Martindale said, “By bringing a fast, peer-to-peer, Layer 2 exchange — with the speed of centralized exchanges but with privacy — Portal is delivering on the promise of self-sovereignty for everyone. The current centralized exchanges, false “decentralized” DEXs, custodially wrapped tokens, and censorable ecosystems all threaten Bitcoin’s promise of self-sovereignty. Fabric technology enables Layer 3 privacy on cross-chain transactions and eliminates the need for centralized custodians.”

On why they chose to build on Bitcoin, Martindale commented, “We believe Bitcoin provides the much needed financial infrastructure that the free, uncensorable internet-of-the-future will be built on, and although we are starting with a P2P exchange, our mission is to be The Platform for decentralized, peer-to-peer human interactions… be it communications, financial transactions, or social media.”

Platforma uporablja "hash časovno zaklenjene pogodbe" za zagotovitev, da uporabniki ohranijo popoln nadzor nad sredstvi, ponujenimi v trgovini, kar preprečuje tveganje nasprotne stranke in izgubo sredstev. Spodbuja anonimne, sebične tretje strani k vmesnim transakcijam med vrstniki, ki si med seboj ne zaupajo, hkrati pa zagotavlja varnost. 

Obvestilo o financiranju prihaja pred javno prodajo žetonov Portala na lansirni plošči Republic.co oktobra.

O portalu

Portal je DeFi, zgrajen na Bitcoinu. DeFi je nemogoče ustaviti z anonimnimi zamenjavami brez znanja prek prvega pravega verižnega DEX-a, ki je resnično nezaupljiv. Odpravlja kovanje zavitih kovancev (npr. WBTC, wETH) ali tvegano vlaganje pri posrednikih. S portalom DeFi postane storitev, ki jo lahko ponudi vsak, pri čemer ohranja anonimnost na odprtih, preglednih trgih z varnostnim modelom, ki je tako robusten kot rudarjenje bitcoinov. 

Protokol Fabric je portalska tehnologija Layer 2 in Layer 3, ki omogoča gradnjo cenzurno odpornih komunikacij, medijev in zamenjav z več verigami z enim klikom, vse na Bitcoin.
