GOAT Network Launches Its Alpha Mainnet, Opening a New Era for Sustainable BTC Yield

This major move comes as US President Donald Trump signs an executive order to create a strategic Bitcoin reserve that legitimizes Bitcoin’s status as “digital gold”

GOAT Network has officially launched its Alpha mainnet, marking a major step toward enabling Bitcoin holders to earn sustainable BTC yield.

This launch comes as U.S. President Donald Trump signs an executive order to create a strategic Bitcoin reserve, legitimizing Bitcoin’s status as “digital gold” and accelerating institutional adoption worldwide.

By putting federal trust in Bitcoin, this move can inspire institutions to move on-chain and inject liquidity into the DeFi market. Against such a backdrop, GOAT Network’s mainnet launch marks a significant achievement.

Aiming to revolutionize BTC and OG meme coin DOGE from being passive holdings into active, yield-generating assets, GOAT Network is utilizing Decentralized Sequencers using multi-coin PoS.

Its one-of-a-kind economic model also promises to deliver sustainable BTC yield while ensuring security.

“Today marks both a major milestone for our team and a game-changer for Bitcoin and Dogecoin. BTC and DOGE holders will finally be able to do more with their assets than just hold them,” said Kevin Liu, co-founder of GOAT Network.

To celebrate the launch, GOAT Network is pairing it with the One Piece Project. So, users can bridge native BTC, BTCB, or DOGE into GOAT Network and mint a soulbound NFT to kick off their on-chain journey.

Once bridged to GOAT, users can start collecting GOAT Points whenever they transact on launch partner dApps - GOATSwap (GOATSwap.fi), Oku (Oku.trade), and Artemis (ArtemisFinance.io).

This Alpha Mainnet launch marks the beginning of a new era for sustainable BTC yield. It also paves the way for the Token Generation Event (TGE), which will occur in the first half of 2025.

Paving the Way for BTCFi and MemeFi Growth

To offer its users sustainable BTC yield, GOAT Network utilizes a novel decentralized sequencer along with a proof-of-stake model for Bitcoin.

Having a decentralized sequencer is a key technical point that sets this universal L2 apart from other scaling solutions. The Decentralized Sequencer facilitates the inclusion of transactions into batches using a decentralized protocol, for which GOAT is inviting external sequencer node operators to stake BTC or DOGE in exchange for a share in operational control and transaction revenue.

This decentralized sequencer model also enables everyday users to lock their small amounts of BTC and DOGE. This way, both the sequencer node operators and regular users get to earn the same annual Mining Rewards Rate.

All the deposited Bitcoin and Dogecoin help power liquidity on GOAT Network’s decentralized financial market, which is critical to any chain’s success as deep liquidity ensures smooth transactions, minimal slippage, better capital efficiency, and stability.

This dual-staking model meanwhile makes the GOAT Network ‘Home of The People’s Coins’ as both BTC and DOGE represent the original and most widely adopted assets in their respective realms.

To further boost its attractiveness, GOAT has built a one-of-a-kind economic model, which bolsters the yield-earning capability of its participants.

So, any transaction fees on GOAT Network are paid in wrapped BTC, which is received by sequencer node operators. It is converted into a yield-bearing BTC token, then decomposed into a principal token and another yield-bearing token.

As a result, every transaction that occurs on the GOAT Network helps generate sustainable BTC yield for both sequencer node operators and everyday users, who can acquire yields by locking either their BTC or DOGE into a Network node or participating in BTCFi and MemeFi dApps on the network like Avalon Finance and LayerZero.

“GOAT Network's launch brings Bitcoin and Dogecoin into the heart of DeFi, unlocking massive opportunities for both BTC and DOGE holders and the broader Web3 ecosystem. No more choosing between holding BTC and DOGE, and earning yields,” said Liu.

With its economic model, GOAT Network has created an enticing yield strategy that has the potential to attract significant retail and institutional attention, but that doesn’t mean that security is amiss.

When it comes to asset security, the GOAT Network actually makes use of the battle-tested and resilient security of the Bitcoin mainnet itself. For this, GOAT Network recently released a testnet version of BitVM2, so that users can try out GOAT's bridge to see how this works. The technological standard will go live later this year. For now, GOAT's BitVM2 Playground can be found at BitVM2.GOAT.network.

So, by enabling Bitcoin holders to earn sustainable yields while keeping their holdings secure, GOAT Network bridges the gap between Bitcoin and DeFi, advancing BTCFi. At the same time, GOAT Network is pioneering MemeFi by allowing DOGE holders to put their meme coin to work.

Overall, with the Alpha mainnet launch, GOAT Network is transforming the two most successful assets from passive to active, yield-bearing assets while driving broader adoption!
