In this episode, we dive into one of the most ambitious Bitcoin native projects in the space — GOAT Network — with its Co-Founder and CEO, Kevin Liu. Known for his past success with Metis and a Web2 app boasting 160M+ downloads, Kevin now has his sights set on unlocking real, sustainable yield for Bitcoin and Dogecoin holders.
GOAT Network is pioneering the first Bitcoin-native ZK rollup with a decentralized sequencer network, built to make Bitcoin not just a store of value, but a productive financial layer. In our conversation, Kevin breaks down how GOAT is creating yield opportunities through products like GOAT Safebox, a non-custodial BTC yield vault offering ~2% APY, and how they’re leveraging zkMIPS, BitVM2, and Optimistic Challenge models to enable secure, scalable cross-chain functionality.
From liquid staking and lending to MemeFi and decentralized sequencing, GOAT Network is building a cross-chain BTCFi stack that aims to connect Bitcoin to ecosystems like Ethereum, Solana, Cosmos, and TON — without sacrificing decentralization.
Whether you’re a BTC maximalist or just curious about the next frontier of real Bitcoin yield, this episode is packed with forward-looking insights.
