Bitcoin Web3 ecosystem has recently seen new developments. On December 30th, the Bitcoin ecosystem decentralized protocol BLIFE and Web3 gaming interoperability project Portal announced their merger, and will now operate under the unified brand of Portal.
This merger is quite interesting — Portal maintains its original cross-chain gaming and interoperability advantages while integrating BLIFE’s products and ecological resources on Bitcoin. Notably, Benjamin Charbit, the former game director of Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, will officially take on the role of Portal CEO, indicating a move towards a more professional gaming direction.
From a funding perspective, leading Web3 investment firms like Animoca Brands are not only investing to support Portal’s relaunch but also bringing their gaming investment portfolios into the project. G-20 is also involved as an ecological and strategic partner. This collaboration indicates strong industry confidence in this direction.
Over the past two years, BLIFE has invested heavily in Bitcoin Web3 infrastructure — launching Bitcoin’s first on-chain identity protocol BLIFE.ID and meme coin trading platform Odin.fun. Mid-year, they also acquired Bitcoin L1 cross-chain bridge Beyond. This bridging protocol is about to go live on the mainnet, which will become an important part of Portal’s cross-chain technology stack, enabling native Bitcoin interoperability for Portal. From this perspective, this merger is laying the groundwork for interoperability within the Bitcoin ecosystem.
