How do I bridge BTC to GOAT Network?
Use the official GOAT Bridge at bridge.goat.network.
You can bridge directly from a connected wallet, or use the Receive flow to generate a personal bridge-in address and send BTC to it from any wallet or exchange.
The minimum bridge-in amount is 0.0002 BTC. Amounts below that threshold are treated as dust and may not be recoverable.
How long do deposits and withdrawals take?
Deposits are credited once the source-chain transaction confirms. For BTC from Bitcoin mainnet, that means waiting for Bitcoin block confirmations.
Withdrawal times vary by destination chain and route. The bridge shows the status of every transfer, and you can follow progress in Transaction History.
What does bridging cost?
You pay the source-chain gas fee plus a bridge fee.
Fees are dynamic and depend on live network conditions. The bridge shows the exact gas fee, bridge fee, and final receiving amount before you confirm any transfer.
What do I pay gas in on GOAT Network?
BTC. GOAT Network uses native BTC as its gas token.
There is no separate gas token to buy. Bridge in a small amount of BTC, such as 0.0005 BTC, and you can transact.
Note that BTCB bridged from BNB Chain cannot be used to pay gas. Only BTC bridged from Bitcoin mainnet works as gas.
Which wallets support GOAT Network?

Is my BTC wrapped on GOAT Network? What backs it and who holds it?
BTC on GOAT Network is the network's native asset, bridged one-to-one from Bitcoin mainnet through the official bridge. It is not a third-party wrapped token.
Every BTC on GOAT Network corresponds to BTC locked through the bridge, and it is redeemed back to native BTC on Bitcoin when you bridge out.
GOAT Network is built as a rollup, so exits are proven and can be disputed on Bitcoin itself rather than simply declared valid by the network. What settles on GOAT settles on Bitcoin.
