BTC serves as a store of value, offering fewer opportunities for yield generation compared to other cryptocurrencies, like Ethereum or stablecoins. This limited utility in DeFi applications has resulted in lower returns for BTC holders.
BTC holders have serious concerns when their BTC moves to another chain. The security of Bridges and BTC Layer2 needs to be addressed given the limited functionalities of BTC scripts.
GOAT Network aims to solve this via its decentralized sequencer, the key to GOAT network’s fairness and censorship resistance. A native Bitcoin Script based Locking mechanism is also introduced to guarantee GOAT Network is immune to Long-Range Attacks.
GOAT network’s OCP(Optimistic Challenge Process) is built on BitVM2’s permissionless bridge protocol and allows any computation off-chain to be verified on Bitcoin with Continuation techniques. Inspired by ZKM’s proof network, splits the SNARK verifier into a group of subscripts, and the subscripts are committed by MAST and Taproot on Bitcoin.
Decentralized sequencers create an open market to earn sustainable sequencer revenue (in BTC and GOAT Tokens).
Sequencer revenue can be tokenized in order to trade and generate additional returns. BTC holders can lock BTC on L1 to mint goatBTC on GOAT BTC L2; goatBTC can be used for yield generation.
GOAT token lockers earn additional goatBTC mint /redeem fees.
More ways to generate sustainable yield via Defi, Cefi and Tradfi are on the way.
