🟢Portal Gate

Portal Gate is committed to solving the problem of bringing together privacy & compliance on DeFi.

Portal Gate is a DeFi protocol that offers dark pool trading with an integrated compliance solution. DeFi has the potential to revolutionize the financial industry by creating a more accessible, transparent, and efficient financial system. However, the lack of regulation and compliance has been a significant obstacle to its adoption by traditional institutions and investors. Therefore, using DeFi in a compliant manner is crucial to bringing DeFi into the mainstream and gaining the trust of regulators and traditional finance.

Compliance provides regulatory certainty and legal protection to users, investors, and institutions. Compliance helps to ensure that DeFi platforms operate in a transparent, fair, and secure manner, protecting users' assets and data from fraud, manipulation, and cyber attacks. It also helps to prevent money laundering, terrorist financing, and other illicit activities, thereby protecting the integrity of the financial system and society as a whole.

Furthermore, compliance creates new opportunities for DeFi by enabling access to institutional capital and partnerships. Traditional institutions and investors are more likely to invest in and partner with DeFi platforms that comply with regulatory and legal requirements. Compliance also enables DeFi platforms to integrate with existing financial infrastructure, such as banks, exchanges, and payment systems, facilitating the adoption of DeFi by a broader audience. In summary, compliance is crucial to creating a trustworthy, safe, and sustainable DeFi ecosystem that can realize its full potential in the financial industry.

Moreover, the transparency of DeFi often leaves traders feeling exposed. Many traders want to be able to trade privately, but the lack of anonymity means that their wallets can be tracked by others. As a result, investors buying or selling large amounts of tokens - deemed 'crypto whales' - often have a significant influence on the price of these tokens, as any movement within their tracked wallet will usually result in an instantaneous reaction from other investors. This also means that often adverse prices are charged or offered for these amounts, something that many would like to mitigate. To better control the volatility of the market caused by these crypto whales, as well as to offer a privacy solution to those who prefer it, dark pools are crucial. They effectively break the link between a user's wallets, allowing them to trade or transfer without the transaction appearing on-chain. Portal Gate integrates this with its compliance tool so that users may trade in privacy, but with proof that they are compliant.
