Company profile
researched Aug 2026GOAT Network is a Bitcoin Layer 2 (L2) blockchain network intended to make the underlying Bitcoin chain faster, cheaper and more versatile while allowing BTC holders to earn yield denominated in Bitcoin. It was announced by ZKM in July 2024 as what the announcement described as the first Universal Layer 2 and the first Bitcoin L2 to share network ownership, with mainnet targeted for Q3 2024 and an alpha mainnet referenced as forthcoming in November 2024. The network is powered by ZKM's Entangled Rollup technology, which the company says derives native security from Bitcoin's Layer 1.
Rather than concentrating network operation and revenue in a foundation, GOAT Network is designed around a decentralized sequencer model: node operators lock BTC to help secure the network and earn yield on that BTC plus fees from block production, transaction ordering and MEV. The company positions itself within BTCFi (Bitcoin finance), aiming to convert Bitcoin from a passive store of value into an actively used financial asset, and pairs the protocol with community programs such as GOAT Club (a rewards whitelist for BTC holders) and Founders Club (an accelerator-style program with tracks for new project creation, retroactive rewards and user growth). Planned day-one applications included a DEX, borrow/lend, perpetual swaps and a zero-gas platform for trading BRC-20 and other Bitcoin-native assets. Later company publications address BitVM3 and trust-minimized Bitcoin bridging, including Bitcoin covenant proposals (BIP 448, CTV, TXHASH, OP_CAT) and a BitVM3 bug bounty.
