GOAT Network 🔸 GOAT Foundation 🔸 An article was released introducing the @GOATFDN - an independent entity focused on supporting and growing @GOATRollup: The article also describes the core utilities of the freshly launched $GOATED token: • Participation Rewards Boost – $GOATED tokens can be staked or locked to enhance BTC yield rates or boost a user's reward share, thereby deepening engagement and capital retention. • Ecosystem Building – $GOATED is used to incentivize developers, dApp creators/users, and ecosystem partners, fueling more apps and appetite for BTC-based services. • Mining Rewards – Other than BTC gas fees, $GOATED tokens are rewards to sequencers/stakers for producing blocks and securing the network. • Earning Additional Participation Rewards – Earning the potential for future rewards from GOAT Network and ecosystem partners in connection with network usage. • Governance – Token holders will be able to propose and vote on governance decisions, playing a central role in shaping the direction of the GOAT Network ecosystem. • Boost Sequencer Probabilities – Stakers of $GOATED increase their chances of being selected as sequencers, which directly earn BTC transaction fees. This creates an incentive for power users and node operators to engage with $GOATED. 🔸 Media 🔸 In a recent episode of @TheBlockPods, GOAT Network Core Contributor @kevinliub joined @imyoungsparks to discuss how GOAT Network expands @Bitcoin’s capabilities: Kevin outlined the projects vision for a Bitcoin L2 focused on scalability, security, and yield generation. He explained lessons from @ethereum rollups, technical trade-offs, and how Goat aims to build a sustainable community-driven network for future Bitcoin applications. He further explained how Bitcoin needs L2 networks to ensure sustainable growth in an interview with @Cointelegraph: Kevin, shared how his team built the entire stack themselves, from zkVM and BitVM2 to a decentralized sequencer network. He noted that decentralized sequencers and BTC-based rewards can strengthen miner income as block rewards decline, keeping Bitcoin’s ecosystem active and balanced. 🔸 Publications 🔸 @TheBlock__ published an article describing why Bitcoin L2 networks are becoming vital for the ecosystem’s long-term health: As mining rewards decline, L2s can create new revenue streams and support Bitcoin’s security. The piece highlights GOAT Network’s zkRollup technology and BitVM2 system, which enable fast off-chain computation, native Bitcoin-level verification, and BTC-based DeFi yield opportunities. 🔸 Upcoming Features 🔸 Dr. Redouane Elkamhi, Chief Economist at GOAT Network and Professor of @UofT, joins other Bitcoin scaling pioneers in the first series of ZK Industry Leaders: Te episode will be streamed live from the @HouseofZK X and YouTube channels on October 10th at 1pm UTC.
