When it comes to Bitcoin L2, most people see the excitement on stage: faster transactions, lower fees, and BTC can even earn interest. But few notice that behind the stage is an "engine room," which is the real key supporting everything. This engine is Ziren — the zkVM behind the GOAT Network. Ziren acts a bit like a translator: it converts computations on L2 into mathematical proofs, which are then submitted to the Bitcoin mainnet for archiving. This way, whether it's 10 years or 30 years later, we can confirm that these transactions are valid. For Bitcoin, long-term verifiability is the core value. The reason GOAT Network can achieve real-time Rollup on BTC is due to the design of Ziren: — It uses a stable instruction set like MIPS, which is not trendy but has remained unchanged for decades, ensuring that the proofs won't become obsolete. — The task of generating proofs is distributed across multiple machines, using GPUs for parallel acceleration, achieving speeds close to real-...
