🌌 $PTB $BNB $XRP : Portal to Bitcoin
PTB (Portal to Bitcoin) is a decentralized cross-chain infrastructure project that aims to transform Bitcoin from "passive digital gold" into a programmable asset for DeFi—all without using risky bridges or wrapped tokens.
🚀 The "Bridgeless" Innovation
* No More Wrapping: Unlike WBTC (Wrapped Bitcoin), which requires you to trust a custodian, PTB uses Atomic Swaps. This means you can trade native BTC for assets on Ethereum or Solana directly, peer-to-peer.
* BitScaler Technology: A proprietary layer that enables fast, low-cost transactions. It essentially acts as a "scaling engine" for Bitcoin, potentially reducing fees by up to 90%.
* Non-Custodial: The golden rule of PTB is "your keys, your coins." At no point during a cross-chain swap does a third party hold your funds.

🛠️ Token Utility & Burn
* Network Fuel: is the gas for the "Notary Chain" and all cross-chain transactions within the ecosystem.
* Deflationary Pressure: The protocol implements a buy-and-burn mechanism, using 0.15% of swap fees to purchase and permanently remove PTB from circulation.
* Governance & Staking: Holders can stake their tokens to secure the network and vote on the deployment of the ecosystem's $50M fund.
> ⚠️ Trader Note: PTB has been highly volatile, currently sitting significantly below its Sept 2025 high of $0.082. However, it recently reclaimed a key resistance level on heavy volume, signaling a potential shift back into an uptrend.
