This year, @GOATNetwork's layout is clearly aimed at the full-stack Agent economy, and Brother Volcano, as an ambassador, feels pleased. Today, I will share the latest developments with everyone:

First of all, the BitVM2 Testnet (V3) has officially launched! This is the practical environment for Bitcoin's native zkRollup, truly achieving non-custodial, non-collaborative, and permissionless exit BTCFi. Decentralized sequencer + Ziren zkVM, security is maximized, 1-of-n honest verification, even 99% malice can't steal your coins. This wave directly activates the 'sleeping liquidity' of Bitcoin, aiming to make BTC a sustainable yield asset rather than just lying dead in wallets.

Secondly, the ERC-8004 identity standard is now live on the GOAT Network. Combined with the x402 payment protocol, Agents can carry their own identity, reputation, and payment capabilities to engage in direct M2M transactions. Over 150 Agents have been deployed, ranging from stock research Bots to M2M payment clusters, AI arbitration courts, and inter-Agent markets, all operational. The official GitHub docs have also been released, allowing developers to start building immediately.

Looking at the roadmap, the focus for 2026 is on institutional-level BTC yield infrastructure: collaborating with ETFs, sovereign funds, and DAT to promote sustainable and decentralized Bitcoin L2. The Ziren GPU Prover is open-sourced, BitVM2 Beta-Mainnet, and the BitVM-GC paper are all accelerating iterations of these hardcore technologies. Security patches have just been completed (v0.2.3), and nodes must upgrade to protect against vulnerabilities.

In summary: GOAT Network is not focusing on generic L2s this year; it aims to establish the Bitcoin financial track for the Agent economy. It’s not about creating a thousand AI customer service Agents, but rather building a comprehensive stack for payment, identity, reputation, verification, and settlement that all Agents will use, fully anchored in the security and neutrality of Bitcoin. 🟡🐐🚀
