GOAT Network is a Bitcoin-native zkRollup that extends Bitcoin’s capabilities while keeping Bitcoin as the final authority for security and exits. All state transitions are cryptographically verified, and any dispute or withdrawal is ultimately enforced by Bitcoin’s consensus.

Verifiable Execution (zkVM)

GOAT’s in-house zkVM, Ziren, proves that all state transitions follow protocol rules without requiring trust in any operator. Bitcoin verifies correctness through succinct proofs, enabling richer financial logic without compromising security.(See how it works here:Whitepaper)

Bitcoin-Enforceable Settlement (BitVM2)

GOAT BitVM2 ensures that all execution outcomes are enforceable directly by Bitcoin. Invalid claims can be challenged and resolved through Bitcoin transactions, removing reliance on custodians, committees, or trusted intermediaries.( See how it works here: Whitepaper)

Decentralized Sequencer

Transactions are ordered by a decentralized sequencer set governed by protocol rules.

This prevents any single party from controlling transaction ordering or blocking exits, ensuring continuous access and censorship resistance.

Together, these components allow GOAT Network to inherit Bitcoin-native security while extending its capabilities.
