Networks and RPC

This page is the source of truth for public network parameters, explorer URLs, bridge URLs, and wallet or tooling configuration.

Network Parameters

Alpha Mainnet

Parameter	Value
Network Name	`GOAT Network`
Chain ID	`2345`
Currency Symbol	`BTC`
RPC URL	`https://rpc.goat.network`
RPC Backup	`https://rpc.ankr.com/goat_mainnet`
Archive Node	`https://archive.goat.network`

Bridge	`https://bridge.goat.network`

Testnet3

Parameter	Value
Network Name	`GOAT Testnet3`
Chain ID	`48816`
Currency Symbol	`BTC`
RPC URL	`https://rpc.testnet3.goat.network`

Public RPC endpoints are rate-limited. Production systems should use dedicated infrastructure or a managed provider.

Wallet Setup

Add GOAT Network mainnet to MetaMask

await window.ethereum.request({
  method: 'wallet_addEthereumChain',
  params: [{
    chainId: '0x929',
    chainName: 'GOAT Network',
    nativeCurrency: { name: 'Bitcoin', symbol: 'BTC', decimals: 18 },
    rpcUrls: ['https://rpc.goat.network'],
    blockExplorerUrls: ['https://explorer.goat.network'],
  }],
});

Add GOAT Testnet3 to MetaMask

await window.ethereum.request({
  method: 'wallet_addEthereumChain',
  params: [{
    chainId: '0xBEB0',
    chainName: 'GOAT Testnet3',
    nativeCurrency: { name: 'Bitcoin', symbol: 'BTC', decimals: 18 },
    rpcUrls: ['https://rpc.testnet3.goat.network'],
    blockExplorerUrls: ['https://explorer.testnet3.goat.network'],
  }],
});

Application Configuration

ethers.js providers

import { JsonRpcProvider } from 'ethers';

export const goatMainnet = new JsonRpcProvider('https://rpc.goat.network');
export const goatTestnet3 = new JsonRpcProvider('https://rpc.testnet3.goat.network');

web3.py provider

from web3 import Web3

goat = Web3(Web3.HTTPProvider("https://rpc.goat.network"))
goat_testnet3 = Web3(Web3.HTTPProvider("https://rpc.testnet3.goat.network"))

hardhat.config.ts

import '@nomicfoundation/hardhat-toolbox';
import { config as loadEnv } from 'dotenv';

loadEnv();

export default {
  solidity: '0.8.24',
  networks: {
    goatMainnet: {
      url: 'https://rpc.goat.network',
      chainId: 2345,
      accounts: process.env.PRIVATE_KEY ? [process.env.PRIVATE_KEY] : [],
    },
    goatTestnet3: {
      url: 'https://rpc.testnet3.goat.network',
      chainId: 48816,
      accounts: process.env.PRIVATE_KEY ? [process.env.PRIVATE_KEY] : [],
    },
  },
};

Do not hard-code a real private key in source control. Load it from environment variables or a secrets manager.
