According to ChainCatcher news, the GOAT Foundation has been officially established and will provide long-term support for the GOAT Network in areas such as resource allocation, infrastructure operation, R&D investment, and developer incentives, promoting continuous innovation within the Bitcoin ecosystem.The GOAT Network is the first Bitcoin-native zkRollup, building a sustainable revenue model through Gas fees, MEV, and miner rewards, avoiding reliance on inflationary tokens. The Foundation will act as a coordinator to ensure the smooth execution of ZK proof verification and role rotation mechanisms, making revenue distribution transparent and balanced.The upcoming native token $GOATED has a total supply of 1 billion, of which 39.42% is allocated for mining pool rewards (covering incentives for multiple roles such as Sequencer, Prover, Challenger, etc.), 7% for airdrops, 15% for treasury support for ecological incentives and liquidity, and the remaining portion is distributed to the team, advisors, and early investors. On the day of the TGE, 10.43% will be unlocked to ensure initial liquidity for the ecosystem, with the remaining portion following a cliff + linear unlocking schedule to ensure long-term stability.As the core credential of the network, $GOATED can be used for staking to enhance yields, incentivize developers and users, improve node ranking rights, and grant governance rights to holders, becoming a key driving force in the GOAT Network ecosystem.

ChainCatcher news, the Bitcoin native ZK Rollup network GOAT Network has announced that it has accumulated 34 BTC and officially launched it as the Ecosystem Pilot Fund. GOAT Network stated that it is the first Bitcoin Layer 2 network to launch an ecological incentive mechanism based on native BTC.The fund aims to promote the sustainable implementation of Bitcoin native zkRollup application ecology, with funds primarily used to support protocol liquidity, community incentives, and developer contribution rewards. Currently, over 2 BTC have been used for liquidity pools and sustainable yield distribution mechanisms, which have been actually distributed to community participants.GOAT Network stated that this 34 BTC ecological pilot fund is just the starting point of the BTC native incentive system. Next, the project will launch a complete Ecosystem Development Fund, which will include open funding applications, milestone-based support, and incentive mechanisms for long-term contributors, injecting sustainable growth momentum into the Bitcoin ecosystem.

ChainCatcher news, Swiss Bank senior analyst Ipek Ozkardeskaya said that if the U.S. non-farm payrolls remain below 50,000 for six consecutive months, it will be seen as a signal of economic recession. Therefore, the U.S. may have already achieved half of this. The good news is that concerns about a recession have strengthened expectations for a Federal Reserve rate cut; the bad news is that a weak economy is not part of Trump's promises. Rate cuts will not magically save the market, and blaming the consequences of the government's chaotic policies on the Bureau of Labor Statistics may undermine the credibility of U.S. economic data.

ChainCatcher news, the Bitcoin Layer 2 network GOAT Network announced the official launch of the BitVM2 testnet Beta, and achieved the first real-time proving system running in a production environment, becoming the first Bitcoin zkRollup project to support instant withdrawal initiation and full-chain visual proof.According to reports, the system is based on a pipeline parallel architecture and a distributed GPU prover network, combined with ZKM's zkVM "Ziren", achieving three-stage parallel processing for block proof (2.6s), aggregate proof (2.7s), and Groth16 proof (approximately 10.4s), supporting real-time proving capability with a block time of 3.4 seconds, allowing users to initiate withdrawals without waiting.GOAT Network stated that all peg-out operations have been digitized, visualized, and verifiable on-chain, and are presented in real-time through a public UI page. The current system is fully open-source, does not rely on trust assumptions, and has built a complete closed loop from BTC deposit, on-chain interaction to withdrawal. The project team believes that this capability will redefine the technical standards of Bitcoin zkRollup and lay the foundation for the practical usability of BTCFi.

ChainCatcher news, the GOAT Network officially launched Season 3 of One Piece last week, stating that this is the final community push before the TGE.Throughout the One Piece event, GOAT is committed to continuously driving real user participation through on-chain tasks designed around rewards. In addition to airdrop rewards, over 2 BTC in incentives have already been distributed through pre-mining tasks and Artemis staking, with Artemis stakers still able to earn BTC rewards daily.It is reported that the Season 3 event has introduced easier beginner tasks, enhanced on-chain interaction tasks, and mysterious blind box rewards, with all task points directly affecting users' reward weights during the TGE phase.

ChainCatcher news, the first Bitcoin sustainable yield ZK Rollup network GOAT Network has released a new generation of reusable homomorphic obfuscation circuit architecture based on BitVM3, which has taken the lead in solving two major problems in Bitcoin native zk Rollup: "one-time limitation" and "massive off-chain data." The new solution utilizes the Label Forward Propagation mechanism, enabling the cryptographic circuit to have infinite reuse capability and compressing off-chain data from hundreds of GB to just a few MB, achieving an improvement of over 1000 times.It is reported that this solution is based on a series of key optimizations made by the GOAT team on the BitVM3 paper first published by Robin Linus.With this architecture, GOAT Network has made Bitcoin ZK Rollup not only "feasible" but also "deployable" for the first time, advancing BitVM from an experimental concept to a deployable stage. It is noted that the original BitVM3 architecture is still 5 to 10 years away from practical expectations, while GOAT's implementation shortens this time frame to 6 to 12 months.

ChainCatcher message, the Bitcoin native ZK Rollup project GOAT Network officially launches a six-month Kaito Yaps incentive campaign, aimed at further expanding the industry influence and user base of Bitcoin native ZK Rollup through social dissemination and community participation.This campaign adopts the "Yaps" model introduced by Kaito, encouraging KOLs in the crypto industry to voice for GOAT Network through high-quality content. The dissemination performance of KOLs will be comprehensively evaluated based on content quality, originality depth, interaction breadth, and other dimensions, and rewards in the form of $GOATED tokens from GOAT Network will be granted based on rankings, with a total reward pool accounting for 1% of the total token supply.At the same time, GOAT Network has also launched a three-week community challenge task, where all users can participate by completing on-chain operations, binding social accounts, and more, earning future token rewards based on the on-chain activity of the users they bring in.

ChainCatcher message, the Bitcoin native ZK Rollup project GOAT Network has released an economic brown paper on Bitcoin ZK Rollup, proposing an implementation plan for the economic model of Bitcoin native zkRollup.This plan systematically addresses the issues of incentive imbalance, concentrated role costs, and low verification efficiency present in the current BTC L2 system through the "general operator role rotation mechanism" and "multi-round challenge mechanism," providing a solid economic foundation for BTCFi.
