GOAT Network Unveils First Bitcoin Yield Dashboard and Series of BTCFi Products, Advancing Bitcoin Layer-2 and DeFi Adoption

GOAT Network, developed by ZKM, has launched the world’s first on-chain Bitcoin Yield Dashboard, consolidating its suite of BTC yield products aimed at traders seeking direct, non-custodial Bitcoin yields. Unveiled at Bitcoin 2025 in Las Vegas, this dashboard provides streamlined access to four main products: GOAT Safebox (lock BTC for a fixed annual 2% yield without bridge or external DeFi risk), BTCB/DOGEB Vault (up to 5% APY on BNB Chain supported by gas fees and sequencer rewards), Sequencer PoS Staking (decentralized staking of BTC, BTCB, or DOGEB with yields up to 10% APY), and BTC Lending (deposit BTC or liquid staking tokens for yield or to borrow). All products are filterable by risk, duration, and user experience. Underpinned by its proprietary zkVM protocol and Entangled Rollup technology, GOAT Network leverages Bitcoin’s security through a decentralized sequencer model. Five institutional nodes have already committed 5,000 BTC to secure the network, which went live in July 2024 with seven node operators. Multiple decentralized applications, including a DEX and perpetual swaps protocol, are expected at mainnet launch. GOAT will also initiate a Series A fundraising round after a successful $5 million pre-A round, and has introduced a reward program for BTC holders and dApp participants. Recent technical enhancements include a whitepaper proposing BitVM2 and zkMIPS protocol upgrades. The launch of these non-custodial yield products is expected to drive growth in the BTCFi ecosystem, signaling increasing DeFi adoption on the Bitcoin network and offering new non-custodial yield options for BTC holders.
Bullish
The introduction and launch of GOAT Network’s on-chain Bitcoin Yield Dashboard and its suite of non-custodial yield products mark a significant step forward for Bitcoin DeFi (BTCFi). By enabling direct, decentralized Bitcoin yield opportunities without custodial or cross-chain risks, GOAT Network increases utility and incentive for holding BTC and participating in the Bitcoin ecosystem. Institutional backing and diverse dApps at launch signal broad interest and technological maturity. The announced technical upgrades (BitVM2 and zkMIPS) further enhance scalability and innovation prospects. Historically, major advancements in DeFi on Bitcoin tend to attract capital inflows and drive price appreciation for BTC, reflecting both short-term and long-term bullish sentiment for the Bitcoin ecosystem.
