The most meaningful change at GOAT Network this week is hidden in Ziren 2.0
Its proprietary zkVM has rebuilt the proof core with 1,690 commits and can provide real-time proofs for Ethereum upon launch: proofs take an average of 8.6 seconds (an Ethereum slot is 12 seconds), proof size is 284 KiB, and results can be publicly verified on Ethproofs.
Ziren will eventually prove every transaction exiting the BitVM3 bridge. The faster it gets, the cheaper and smoother it will be to move BTC across chains between Bitcoin and GOAT. Lower proof costs directly improve the bridge experience—a tangible upgrade to the network’s utility.
The new core retains its hash-based structure, and its most computationally intensive cryptography is already quantum-resistant. The elliptic-curve components are covered by a public roadmap for post-quantum replacement, with Applied PQC source code, measurement data, and the plan all made public. The BitVM3 bug bounty has identified and fixed 16 bridge-related issues. On the business front, an agent payments partnership with a Korea Exchange-listed company has gone live. In the community, GOAT on Socials runs through November 18, with 10 winners splitting 250 USDT.
The fundamental idea: GOAT lets commercial payments inherit Bitcoin’s verifiable security guarantees, relying on cryptographic verification rather than institutional backing. @GOATNetwork is advancing on four fronts—technology, ecosystem, outreach, and community—and Ziren 2.0 is a key milestone in turning potential into
