Portal Terminal

What It Is

Trading terminal for perpetual futures on decentralized infrastructure. All trades execute on-chain with full self-custody. Integrates AI-powered market analysis, real-time orderbook visualization, and one-click position management.

The Problem

Perpetual futures trading is dominated by centralized exchanges with:

• Opaque order matching and liquidation practices
• Recurring security breaches and exchange failures
• Billions lost to hacks, fraud, and mismanagement

Decentralized alternatives exist but suffer from poor UX, limited tooling, and fragmented liquidity. Professional traders must choose between security (self-custody) and capability (advanced trading tools).

The Solution

Frontend terminal built on decentralized trading infrastructure:

• On-chain execution with sub-second finality
• No deposits, no counterparty risk, no withdrawal delays
• AI copilot for market analysis integrated into workflow
• Professional-grade tools without sacrificing self-custody

How It Works

1. Connect wallet
2. Select market and leverage
3. Place order (market or limit with TP/SL)
4. Trade executes on-chain
5. Manage positions from dashboard

No account creation. No KYC. Funds remain in wallet until trade execution.

Features

Security Model

Portal Terminal is a frontend. It does not custody assets, relay transactions, or operate trading infrastructure.

What the system does NOT do:

• Does not store API keys
• Does not maintain backend databases
• Does not create user accounts
• Does not hold or custody funds
• Does not add trust assumptions beyond the underlying protocol

What happens:

• All transactions signed locally in user's wallet
• Trading executes on decentralized, audited smart contracts
• Funds remain in wallet until trade execution
• Withdraw anytime without lockups, delays, or permissions

Market Data

The constraint for decentralized perpetuals has been UX, not technology.
