    Portal

    Portal

    Portal

    With Portal, Decentralized finance becomes uncensorable, peer to peer, and trust minimized. Just like the underlying properties of Bitcoin. Portal swaps move provable execution of cross-chain contracts to layers 2 and 3, which allows the speed and liquidity of centralized alternatives, with the trust minimization guarantees of Bitcoin. Moreover, transactions are much faster and cheaper than Layer 1 transactions. Using Fabric, we enable web-scale, serverless infrastructure with strong privacy and security guarantees. Portal’s layer 2 and layer 3 atomic swap technology can be used for a general purpose market for data and computation. Our goal is to replace the web server model which is prone to centralization by design and architecture with a free market for data and computation. Fabric, the underlying protocol Portal uses extends Bitcoin’s functionality today without needing any BIPs.

    Bitcoin Gold

    Bitcoin Gold

    Bitcoin Gold

    BTG is a cryptocurrency with Bitcoin fundamentals, mined on common GPUs instead of specialty ASICs. ASICs tend to monopolize mining to a few big players, but GPU mining means anyone can mine again - restoring decentralization and independence. GPU mining rewards go to individuals worldwide, instead of mostly to ASIC warehouse owners, recreating network effects that Bitcoin used to have. Bitcoin Gold is extended by Lighting Network, which scales to route nearly limitless payments per second. This is an example of a "second layer" solution living atop the main blockchain. Second layers and side chains enable technologies like smart contracts which can run at blazing speeds, secured by the underlying BTG mainchain. BTG enhances and extends the crypto space with a blockchain closely compatible with Bitcoin (with SegWit and Lightning Network) but without using resources like Bitcoin hashpower or vying for the "real Bitcoin" title.
