Following the success of our recent @Starknet report, we're continuing the change in format to bring you the first @GOATRollup special - covering recent key announcements, technical breakthroughs, and essential updates
Just prior to its Mainnet launch, @GOATRollup introduced the One Piece Project - a special program for early participants.
Participation is simple:
• Bridge BTC, BTCB, or DOGEB into the GOAT Network.Mint a soulbound NFT (a unique non-transferable token tied to your account).
• Take part in Season 1 of One Piece, starting with transactions on partner dApps.
• As users interact with GOAT’s protocols, they will start earning two main types of rewards - GEC (GOAT Energy Cube) and GOAT Points.
With the launch of Alpha Mainnet, GOAT Network is aiming to become the platform for "The People’s Coins" - @Bitcoin and @dogecoin. These are now more than just memes or store-of-value assets. GOAT turns them into the foundation of a new BTCFi and MemeFi economy, unlocking access to innovative yield strategies that were previously unavailable for these coins.

After several years of development, preparation, and strategic partnerships, the GOAT team has officially brought the network into its open phase. This new L2 blockchain aims to become the world’s first sustainable BTC yield network, built on decentralized sequencers and a multi-coin PoS model.
The main goal of GOAT is to give BTC and DOGE new utility. Two of the most famous crypto assets on the market have remained just "hold" assets for too long. GOAT Network is changing that. Now, BTC and DOGE can work for users, generating stable yield.
Any user can delegate one of three tokens to the GOAT network - BTC, BTCB, and DOGEB - which can be staked into GOAT Sequencers to start earning sustainable BTC yield in exchange for helping secure the network. Unlike short-term incentive models that are commonly used in the crypto space today, GOAT’s model is designed to provide long-term and real payouts.
GOAT has also announced its initial dApp ecosystem - including @Goatswap_fi, @okutrade, and @Artemisfinance - which are already available to users.
All of these platforms are open to early users of the network, ready to earn and explore new BTCFi opportunities.
The launch of @GOATRollup's Alpha Mainnet has sparked a strong reaction across the ecosystem. Key partners and projects have publicly expressed their excitement and support:
