The GOAT Network announces the release of the GOAT BitVM2 whitepaper, a groundbreaking advancement in Bitcoin’s Layer 2 scaling solutions. The whitepaper, now available at https://goat.network/BitVM2-whitepaper, introduces a major breakthrough: reducing the original BitVM2 14-day challenge period to just one day, significantly enhancing efficiency and security for Bitcoin zkRollups.
Key Highlight: GOAT BitVM2’s accelerated dispute resolution, enabled by a multi-round challenger selection mechanism, achieves effective finality in under one day. This addresses critical inefficiencies in BitVM2’s challenge process, marking a pivotal step toward production-ready Bitcoin bridges.
Core Innovations:
- Cryptoeconomic Security: Dual-slashing mechanisms deter operator misconduct, ensuring robust protection against double-spend attacks.
- Incentive-Aligned Economy: Fraud bounties reward successful challengers, boosting participation and honest dispute resolution.
- Universal Operator Model: Rotates operators across roles (sequencer, prover, challenger), balancing costs and earnings to enhance decentralization and resilience.
- Fastest zkVM: GOAT’s in-house zkMIPS is the fastest production-ready zkVM in the industry, optimizing proof generation, lowering costs, and ensuring verifiability.
The GOAT BitVM2 protocol leverages Bitcoin as a settlement layer and a decentralized sequencer network for computation, supporting arbitrary-amount peg-outs via atomic swap under a 1-of-n honest node assumption. This release positions GOAT BitVM2 as the most secure and efficient Bitcoin zkRollup protocol to date, driving broader adoption for scaling Bitcoin and converting Bitcoin from a passive asset to an active asset.
