GOAT Network has officially released GOAT BitVM2 Testnet V3, marking a significant step forward in the development of native Bitcoin zkRollup infrastructure. The latest testnet iteration continues to use Bitcoin as the settlement layer, enabling BTC to directly participate in on-chain financial activities without relying on trusted custodians. A key feature of Testnet V3 is the introduction of a challenge mechanism designed to address potential misconduct and ensure system integrity. This mechanism enhances trust minimization by allowing disputes to be resolved on Bitcoin itself, reinforcing the network’s security model. In addition to the challenge system, the update includes several key optimizations aimed at improving performance, efficiency, and overall reliability. These enhancements further support GOAT Network’s goal of expanding Bitcoin’s native functionality while preserving its core security principles. The release highlights growing momentum in the Bitcoin ecosystem toward scalable, trust-minimized Layer 2 solutions that enable broader financial use cases without compromising decentralization.
