Bitcoin Ecosystem: BLIFE Protocol Merges with Portal, Advances Unified Brand to Drive Cross-Chain Game Infrastructure
BlockBeats News, December 30th, the Bitcoin ecosystem decentralized protocol BLIFE Protocol announced that it has completed a merger with the Web3 game interoperability project Portal, and the post-merger business will be unified under the Portal brand. Portal will retain its original cross-chain gaming and interoperability support, while integrating BLIFE's Bitcoin-based products and ecosystem.
After the merger, former Ubisoft "Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag" game director Benjamin Charbit will serve as CEO of Portal. Web3 leading investment firm Animoca Brands will provide a new round of funding support for Portal's reboot and introduce its game investment portfolio resources, with G-20 also participating as an ecosystem and strategic partner.
Over the past two years, BLIFE has been advancing Bitcoin Web3 infrastructure construction, launching the first on-chain identity protocol for Bitcoin, BLIFE.ID, as well as the meme coin trading platform Odin.fun, and in mid-2025 acquired the Bitcoin L1 cross-chain bridge Beyond. The bridging protocol is about to go live on the mainnet and will become part of Portal's cross-chain technology stack, providing Portal with native Bitcoin interoperability capability.
