GOAT Network: The Gateway to BTCFi

GOAT Network stands out from all other blockchain protocols as the first to deliver chain-level, sustainable BTC yield – without centralized custody or an expensive mining rig.

Today, we’re excited to announce another leap forward for investors seeking real BTC yield: a suite of BTCFi products that allow you to find your desired mix of risk and rewards.

Here’s a rundown of all the ways you can earn BTC yield on GOAT Network, the assets you need to supply to earn that yield, and the APY you can expect to earn. You can find our dashboard of BTCFi products at yield.goat.network.

RISK-FREE

GOAT Safebox

The BTC community comes in many shapes and sizes, and that includes BTC holders who believe that trustlessness is the only way to go.

We got you! GOAT Safebox is a risk-free yield product that delivers 2% APY payable in real BTC, without the need to use a bridge, or any complex DeFi mechanisms. 

Safebox uses an enterprise-grade timelock security mechanism that enables users to retain control of their assets at all times. Users supply their BTC for a fixed 3-month period, and the returns are guaranteed by decentralized sequencer rewards.

LOW RISK

BTCB/DOGEB Vault

When we built GOAT Network, we envisioned a place for holders of multiple kinds of “People’s Coins” to feel welcome. Just as Bitcoin features a long and successful track record, a fully decentralized existence without any governing team or foundation, and a populist ethos…so does Dogecoin!

To accommodate both Bitcoin and Dogecoin enthusiasts, we’ve partnered with industry-leading blockchain vault provider StakeStone to enable deposits of both assets. Users lock their BTC or DOGE on BNB Chain (in the form of BTCB or DOGEB), and those assets are bridged into GOAT Network using the gold standard for blockchain messaging layers, LayerZero. Users will then earn 5% APY, accrued from both GOAT Network sequencer rewards and BTC gas fees. 

The result: guaranteed BTC yield, backed by real on-chain economic activity, tailored for DeFi traders.

MEDIUM RISK

Sequencer PoS Staking

GOAT Network has partnered with seasoned liquid staking protocol Artemis Finance to enable a permissionless staking system that secures our network with a multi-asset proof-of-stake mechanism, delivering BTC rewards.

Users may bridge native BTC from Bitcoin Layer 1, BTCB from BNB Chain, or DOGEB from BNB Chain to GOAT Network, securing GOAT’s decentralized sequencers – the only decentralized sequencer architecture found in the entire Bitcoin ecosystem. 

The rewards? 10% APY, coming from real BTC gas yield, sequencer rewards, and MEV incentives. Liquid staking on GOAT Network comes with no lock period, giving users the right to unstake at any time.

BTC Lending

Borrow/lend protocols have been some of the biggest beneficiaries of the DeFi boom in the Ethereum ecosystem – time for Bitcoin holders to reap the same huge benefits. Avalon Finance is a lending marketplace that unlocks capital efficiency for BTC holders on GOAT Network.

Avalon lets you deposit BTC and/or BTC liquid staking tokens (LST) to earn real yield, or borrow against those assets with collateralized loans. 

More experienced DeFi and BTCFi users will earn different yield amounts depending on risk profiles, while also benefiting from flexible terms and instant liquidity.

As GOAT Network progresses, look for more BTCFi products to emerge, accommodating everyone from BTC maxis seeking low-risk yield to degens who want to swing for the fences. Backed by a multi-coin PoS structure, the only decentralized sequencer setup in the Bitcoin ecosystem, and the first protocol to offer real, sustainable BTC yield at a chain level, we’re here to meet your investment needs and goals.

ABOUT GOAT NETWORK

GOAT Network is the first Bitcoin-native ZK Rollup engineered to deliver sustainable, native BTC yield through a breakthrough combination of in-house zkMIPS (the fastest production-ready zkVM), a practical BitVM2 challenge model (reducing the challenging period from 14 days to less than 1 day), and Bitcoin’s first Decentralized Sequencer network.
