Chandra Duggirala, founder of Portal to Bitcoin, sits down with Keli Callaghan to discuss the advancements in Bitcoin's utility through Portal, a cross-chain decentralized exchange. Chandra shares his journey from medicine(?!) to crypto, going back to his realization of the importance of eliminating custodial risks in trading. The conversation explores the evolution of custody in the crypto space, innovations within the Bitcoin ecosystem, and the potential for DeFi on Bitcoin (currently sitting at a mere fraction of others such as Ethereal and Solana). With a recent publicly available TestNet, topics covered also include organic community growth, community-driven product development, and what comes next for Bitcoin’s utility being enhanced through cross-chain swaps (without the need for third-party custody).
