The Real-Time Proving upgrade serves as an architectural unlock for capital-intensive BTCFi apps, reducing withdrawal latency and improving capital efficiency.

As soon as a block’s execution proof is ready (~2.6s), it is handed to aggregation (~2.7s) while the next block’s execution proof starts immediately. Groth 16 proofs, which compress the final output to make verification more efficient, run in parallel (~10.38s).

Real-Time Proving & BitVM2:. Traditional $BTC rollups have processed proofs sequentially with execution proofs first, then aggregation, then finally SNARKs, causing latency that slows withdrawals & liquidity flow. GOAT’s Real-Time Proving instead runs all stages concurrently.

Native $BTC Yield:. GOAT’s yield model distributes real yield driven by network activity rather than token emissions, sourced from:. - Transaction Fees.- Sequencer MEV.- DeFi Vaults

GOAT Network Architecture:. GOAT’s architecture is a hybrid stack consisting of Bitcoin’s censorship-resistant finality model and the composability of an EVM execution environment. The core components include:. - Type-1 zkEVM.- Ziren zkVM.- BitVM2 Integration

GOAT looks to tap into the massive idle $BTC capital pool, making $BTC a productive asset with non-inflationary yield. Specifically, over 1.4M $BTC in U.S. ETFs & millions more in corporate and sovereign treasuries sit idle, capital that GOAT is looking to tap into and onboard.

Background on @GOATRollup:. GOAT enables DeFi programmability & yield denominated in $BTC, using Bitcoin’s finality and security model. Layering a zkVM over $BTC consensus & bridging via BitVM2, GOAT delivers a swift execution environment without altering Bitcoin’s base layer.

GOAT Network has rolled out real-time proving. With the launch of the BitVM2 Beta Testnet, real-time proving mitigates latency that slows withdrawals & liquidity flow, a concern for most Bitcoin rollups. Real-time proving is an unlock for the network & capital-intensive BTCFi

13/ The long-term vision involves releasing an SDK so anyone can build custom strategies on Aera. It's going to be fun typing "go long Tesla while shorting the gaming sector index" and having a vault execute it automatically using tokenized stocks and DeFi infrastructure.

12/ Gauntlet's roadmap extends well beyond USD strategies. $ETH and $BTC vaults are the obvious next products, but they're also looking at $XRP yield, which nobody else is building despite massive trading volume.

11/ Institutions have discovered that private credit yields and crypto margin yields are inversely correlated. When traditional markets struggle and the Fed cuts rates, crypto margin trading heats up and DeFi yields rise. It's great for portfolio diversification.

10/ The Apollo partnership shows how institutions are bringing private credit to DeFi. Gauntlet runs vaults that let users leverage Apollo's tokenized credit fund on Morpho. Investors can loop their positions to get around 16% yield.

9/ This approach has caught issues like ERC-20 tokens with non-standard decimals that would have caused catastrophic mispricing. After seven years operating in DeFi through multiple cycles and hacks, they've maintained zero protocol losses.

8/ Gauntlet runs 24/7 automated monitoring across price feeds, liquidity metrics, and oracle health, but they keep humans in the loop for critical decisions. Their AI tools generate code and unit tests, but humans review everything before deployment to catch edge cases.

7/ They're adding leveraged Pendle PT positions next, which should add another 2% APY to the vault. The goal is reaching 15% or higher on stablecoins while maintaining liquidity. Users deposit once and the automation handles all the rebalancing and position management.
