Our team of financial experts and world-class tech professionals believes that by leveraging Layer 2 blockchain technologies, we can scale Bitcoin with the power of cryptography alone.
GOAT NETWORK has developed a Bitcoin Layer 2 solution that integrates an Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). The GOAT Network uses its own native Wrapped Bitcoin gas token, goatBTC

and the $GOAT
ecosystem token.
