Context
GOAT Network is a Layer 2 scaling solution for Bitcoin, utilizing ZKM’s Entangled Rollup technology to aggregate transactions off-chain and validate them on Bitcoin’s Layer 1 with zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs).
GOAT Network offers:
- Faster Transactions & Lower Fees
- Enhanced Security: Transactions inherit Bitcoin’s security through ZKPs, reinforced by the Optimistic Challenge Process (OCP).
- Decentralization: The network uses a decentralized sequencer model, meaning that network control and revenue are distributed among the participants.
- EVM Compatibility: GOAT supports the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), enabling smart contract functionality.
Additionally, GOAT Network aims to become a Universal Layer 2 by integrating with Ethereum, Cosmos, and Polkadot.
Mainnet Launch is expected in Q1 2025.
Proposal
Enable support for GOAT Network within the Symbiosis protocol. The integration includes the following steps:
- Adding support for GOAT in the Symbiosis protocol, including WGBTC (address) for the network in the Symbiosis AMM DEX on the host chain.
- Deploying and tuning Symbiosis contracts on GOAT Network to ensure smooth operation.
- Leverage existing DEXs on GOAT to enable on-chain routing.
- Activating the Symbiosis relayers network to work with the new blockchain.
Key points
- Enhanced Bitcoin Interoperability: Introducing support for the Bitcoin L2 chain will empower users to interact with assets on the Bitcoin blockchain more securely and conveniently.
- Increased Network Activity: The upcoming mainnet launch is expected to drive interest, attract users, and generate transaction flow.
- Seamless Integration: GOAT Network’s EVM compatibility enables straightforward integration into the Symbiosis protocol, providing immediate access to cross-chain functionality and expanding user options.
