BRC20.com Integrates Portal to Open up DeFi on Bitcoin to Developers and Investors

Published

on

By integrating Portal’s P2P DEX, BRC.com’s native tokens for the first time will be swappable with native BTC, ETH and other cryptocurrencies.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 5, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — BRC20.com, a BRC-20 ecosystem launchpad, today announced a new integration with Portal, the first trust-minimized, cross-chain swaps that involve no bridges, custody or wrapping, to bring a host of DeFi features to crypto users beyond the Bitcoin community. The collaboration will allow BRC20.com to leverage Portal Swap SDK and integrate the Portal P2P decentralized exchange’s (DEX) Layer 2 Atomic Swaps technology into their platform. For the first time, $.COM, BRC20.com’s native token, will be seamlessly swappable with native BTC, Ether (ETH) and other cryptocurrency supported by the Portal DEX Network.

“Our partnership with Portal represents a step towards fulfilling BRC20.com’s and Portal’s mutual vision of bringing the power of Bitcoin Defi to the masses while opening the door for both Bitcoin developers and investors to play a greater role in the Bitcoin DeFi revolution,” said Farmer Joe, head of partnerships at BRC20.com. “Through this integration, we hope to significantly improve the accessibility of .COM and other BRC-20 tokens, which will not only help developers who are building new dApps on the Bitcoin Network, but also open up new DeFi avenues to traders and investors.”

The BRC-20 protocol, Bitcoin‘s answer to Ethereum‘s ERC-20 for custom token issuance on the base layer Bitcoin blockchain, supports the native creation and transfer of fungible tokens on the Bitcoin network. Created less than a year ago, the BRC-20 standard has quickly gained in popularity, surpassing a cumulative market capitalization of $4 billion. Projects on BRC20.com are offered as fundraising opportunities through two types of launchpad services: cross-chain Initial DEX Offerings (IDOs) and Initial Farming Offerings (IFOs).

BRC20.com’s integration of Portal’s Layer 2 Atomic Swaps DEX will allow users to trade and swap the $.COM token trustlessly against assets on various chains with a single click, thus empowering non-Bitcoin users in the BRC20.com ecosystem. Presently, $.COM tokens can only be purchased on centralized exchanges (CEXs) or the few DEXs that support BRC-20 trading pairs against $BTC. The partnership will also integrate the most popular launchpad tokens from BRC20.com into the Portal DEX Network.

With this collaboration, the Portal Swap SDK will be integrated into the BRC20.com website and super app, allowing users to participate in their cross-chain IDOs and IFOs on BRC20.com. The one-click, cross-chain purchase functionality will also extend to BRC20.com’s graduated launchpad tokens, providing users with a simple method for diversifying their portfolios. Partners who have integrated the Portal Swap SDK will be able to offer their users the feature of cross-chain accessibility of both ERC-20 and BRC-20 based $.COM tokens supported launchpad tokens, and their native tokens directly inside partner dApps.

“Unlike other DEXs, Portal Network’s cross-chain AMM can support simultaneous cross-chain trading against both the Bitcoin-based .COM token and its Ethereum-based counterpart, and even between them directly,” said Chandra Duggirala, co-founder and CEO of Portal. “Such a user-friendly approach will eliminate custodial risk and remove the need for bridging in moving assets between multiple chains.”

For ease of adoption, the $.COM supply consists of both a BRC-20 token and an Ethereum-based ERC-20 token. This dual-chain approach is a proven launch methodology that vastly improves accessibility, but a split in supply can fragment liquidity. BRC20.com will further contribute to liquidity and trading efficiency in Portal DEX by supporting liquidity pools, supplying both ERC20-based and BRC20-based $.COM, along with select launchpad coins.

HZICC: The 2025 Hangzhou Highlights Awards Celebrating Visionaries Elevating the City’s Global Profile

Published

on

By

HANGZHOU, China, April 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — What does the world see when it looks at Hangzhou? The Hangzhou & Friends: 2025 Hangzhou Highlights Awards, unveiled on February 4, offered an answer—not through statistics alone, but through the stories of connection that unfolded across the year.

The awards were born from a simple recognition: that a city’s global presence is built not only on grand events, but on the countless moments when people reach across borders. To honor this, the organizers structured the awards into four chapters: Dialogue of Civilizations, Industrial Narratives, Social Innovation, and Moments of the Year, each capturing a different way that Hangzhou touched the world.

Across these categories, moments of quiet resonance stood out. In the realm of cultural dialogue, ten friends from ten nations explored Hangzhou for the first time, their journeys later echoed by the city’s own return visits to Istanbul and Cairo. After the visits, a German photographer’s image of Qiandao Lake’s giant net fishing found its way to the pages of The Times, Hangzhou’s bond with Verona deepened into a year-long romance of music, art, and shared celebration, proving that sister-city ties can bloom into something far richer than ceremony.

On the Liangzhu Day of 2025, the “Liangzhu and the World: Dialogue between Liangzhu Ancient City and Rome Ancient City” was held—one of several moments when the region’s archaeological treasures found new resonance on the global stage. Beyond culture, the awards recognized how Hangzhou’s industries are telling Chinese stories overseas, from Geely’s global development to the rise of cross-border e-commerce that brings Hangzhou products,and the culture behind them directly to international consumers.

Yet there were also countless other people and moments that helped the world know Hangzhou. An international student from Pakistan filmed the city he had come to call home, capturing not just its landmarks but the feeling of belonging. A volunteer from Zimbabwe found himself holding hands with local police and strangers in a human chain at West Lake to maintain traffic order, discovering that being welcomed means being trusted to help. The Hangzhou International Conference Center became a stage for cross-cultural encounter, while Hangzhou’s tech-themed travel routes offered visitors a chance to explore the city’s cutting-edge innovations.

Together, these moments traced a portrait of Hangzhou not as a place that simply welcomes visitors, but as one that listens, shares, and grows, through the people who carry its stories onward.
