GOAT Network Launches Alpha Mainnet, Bringing Sustainable BTC Yield to Bitcoin and Dogecoin Holders

GOAT Network today launched its Alpha Mainnet, introducing the first decentralized platform offering sustainable Bitcoin-based rewards. This launch provides Bitcoin and Dogecoin holders with direct access to decentralized finance (DeFi) opportunities, positioning Bitcoin for a central role in the future of Web3.

"GOAT Network's Alpha Mainnet is a significant milestone for our team and a game-changer for Bitcoin and Dogecoin," said Kevin Liu, co-founder of GOAT Network. "BTC and DOGE holders will finally be able to do more than just hold their assets."

GOAT Network's sustainable BTC yield is achieved through novel decentralized sequencers and proof-of-stake models for Bitcoin. The network invites external sequencer node operators to stake Bitcoin or Dogecoin in exchange for operational control and a share of transaction revenue.

This decentralized sequencer model allows everyday users to lock Bitcoin and Dogecoin, with both sequencer node operators and users potentially earning the same annual Mining Rewards Rate. These deposits fuel liquidity on GOAT Network's decentralized financial market, crucial for the network's success. The BTC-DOGE dual-staking model reflects GOAT Network's commitment to becoming a platform for the people's coins.

GOAT Network employs a unique economic model: transaction fees are paid in wrapped BTC, which is then converted into a yield-bearing BTC token and subsequently decomposed into a principal token and another yield-bearing token, similar to the model used by Pendle. This generates sustainable BTC yield for both sequencer node operators and everyday users who lock BTC or DOGE into a GOAT Network node or participate in the network's BTCFi and MemeFi dApps.

By enabling sustainable yields while maintaining secure holdings for both Bitcoin and Dogecoin, GOAT Network bridges the gap between Bitcoin and DeFi, and introduces the emerging field of MemeFi.

Some of GOAT Network's DeFi dApps include Avalon Finance, LayerZero, Oku, and GOATSwap.

The mainnet launch empowers Bitcoin and Dogecoin holders, transforming these assets from passive holdings into active, yield-generating assets. This aims to energize the communities surrounding these cryptocurrencies.

"GOAT Network's launch brings Bitcoin and Dogecoin into the heart of DeFi, unlocking massive opportunities," said Liu. "No more choosing between holding and earning yields."

To enhance the alpha mainnet launch and move beyond the limitations of one-time airdrops, GOAT Network introduces the One Piece Project. This project allows users to bridge native BTC, BTCB, or DOGE into GOAT Network, mint a soulbound NFT, and engage with launch partner dApps GOATSwap (), Oku (), and Artemis (). Users can earn rewards by transacting on these dApps, with additional rewards available as new dApps launch and new activities are incentivized.

GOAT Network offers two reward systems: GEC (GOAT Energy Cube) and GOAT Points. GEC tracks user contributions and participation, while GOAT Points focus on liquidity provision and trading activities. GOAT Points will be converted into GOATED tokens after the Token Generation Event (TGE). Users can learn more at OnePiece.GOAT.Network.

GOAT Network prioritizes asset security. Similar to Ethereum Layer 2 networks, GOAT Network aims to inherit Bitcoin mainnet security through BitVM2, a technology currently in testnet (BitVM2.GOAT.network).

The Alpha Mainnet launch paves the way for GOAT Network's broader ambitions, including a public mainnet launch and TGE later in 2025, and expansion to other major blockchain ecosystems.
