The original BitVM2 system made users trust operators too much, especially when it came to data inputs that could be manipulated. GOAT BitVM changes that with decentralized sequencers.

These sequencers commit their keys and inputs to Bitcoin ahead of time, and everything is verified automatically. Users can safely deposit Bitcoin, get PegBTC on Layer 2, and withdraw back knowing the system enforces correctness.

A normal BitVM2 challenge could take weeks, which locked funds and frustrated people. GOAT uses a multi-round, randomized challenge system. A challenger is picked to check each reimbursement request.

If they don’t act, the next challenger steps in.

GOAT Network makes money through essential operations.

➢ Sequencers process transactions, collect BTC gas fees, and earn MEV from real activity. These BTC fees are the base cash flow and drive the network flywheel. More activity creates more fees, and more fees strengthen the network.

➢ Good returns attract more BTC, which increases activity and fees even more. Bitcoin stops being just a static store of value and becomes productive capital.

The bridge lets users move assets between Bitcoin Layer 1 and GOAT Layer 2 safely.

➢ Using BitVM2, it can verify off-chain computations on Bitcoin without a hard fork. Users can bridge BTC into GOAT for staking or yield farming while keeping Bitcoin’s security. Unlike other bridges, it doesn’t rely on custodians.

➢ GOAT also improves the BitVM2 design with zkMIPS, decentralized sequencers, and an incentive system for operators and challengers.

➢ The bridge works two ways: Peg-In from Bitcoin to GOAT, and Peg-Out from GOAT back to Bitcoin. When depositing, relayers confirm the transaction and submit a zk proof to GOAT.

The operator issues PegBTC, a 1:1 representation of BTC. For withdrawals, PegBTC is swapped back using BitVM2’s fraud-proof system, with challengers watching for invalid activity.

➢ Proof generation is faster than usual. GOAT uses zkMIPS, to generate proofs for each block in around 40 seconds. This makes the bridge practical for real-time transactions while staying fully verifiable on Bitcoin.

➢ GOAT BitVM matters because it turns Bitcoin from a static store of value into a programmable asset for DeFi.

➢ It’s Bitcoin-native, secure, and scalable.

➢ The flywheel is simple: more activity generates more fees, which strengthens incentives, which attracts even more BTC.

➢ GOAT BitVM solves double-spending attacks, supports withdrawals of any size, speeds up proof generation, balances operator risks, and makes challenges fairer and faster.
