Recently reviewed GOAT Network's progress over the past year, and I feel this project is truly making solid strides. It's not the kind of project that just talks big in whitepapers; instead, it's steadily turning ideas into reality, maintaining a very steady pace.

Let's start with the technical aspect. BitVM2 and real-time verification have moved out of the lab and are beginning to be deployed in real environments. The emergence of Ziren, this zkVM, is even more interesting—it provides the entire network with verifiable on-chain proofs and execution challenge capabilities. In other words, it’s laying a solid foundation for trusted execution within the Bitcoin ecosystem. When the technology can be practically implemented, the subsequent product and ecosystem expansion will have more confidence.

Regarding product design, their sustainable revenue model and flywheel mechanism have indeed activated the native value appreciation scenarios of Bitcoin. Currently, the network is running with trading, lending, staking, and cyclic applications, with real users participating. This isn’t just hype; it’s genuine ecosystem traffic. Once the flywheel really starts turning, growth will come naturally.

The community side also hasn’t fallen behind. The global ambassador network is working on user education and localization, and they’ve launched activities like "One Piece" with incentive mechanisms to encourage multi-dimensional user participation. This atmosphere is completely different from communities that rely solely on hype—more healthy and resilient.

In market expansion, GOAT Network has conducted roadshows worldwide and has established a foothold in many regions. Localized communities and partners are active in multiple markets. This offline rooting work is very helpful for long-term user accumulation, not just online digital growth.

Looking at the token side, $GOATED officially entered circulation through a Token Generation Event and has been listed on multiple platforms including Gate and MEXC. The token distribution is thoughtfully designed, mainly incentivizing long-term builders. This design is closely tied to the project’s long-term economic health.

Overall, GOAT Network has spent the year moving from theory to deployment, solidifying infrastructure, running through the revenue logic, and expanding the ecosystem scope. It stays true to Bitcoin’s core values and actually makes Bitcoin more usable and productive. This is what’s rare in the BTCFi track—respecting Bitcoin’s essence while genuinely expanding its application boundaries.

If this development pace can be maintained, the project's future potential is definitely worth watching. It’s not about a quick surge, but about how far it can go within the Bitcoin ecosystem.
