What is more important for a successful L2 ?
Tech, executional skill or resources to support vibrate ecosystem?

Yes, there are too many chains
the number of L1 & L2 are coming up like uniswap forks, but like tradejoe, camelot, velodromes there will be exceptions and the one willing to dig thru the trenches will find them

There are two core things that will make a project work
โ
Tech & โ
Execution
Today im exploring @GOATRollup
a upcoming BTC L2 developed by founder of @MetisL2 @kevinliub that caught my attention

๐Why?
๐๐ป Proven executional skill in building a vibrate ecosystem from the impact of metis network as one of the first mover as ETH L2
๐๐ป Tech, Leveraging GOAT-OCP, combining BitVM2 and @ProjectZKM's Entangle rollup enabling native yield

๐TLDR of GOAT
BTC L2 with sustainable native yield from it's decentralized sequencers
It's developed by Metis's co-founder
A proven eco-system builder with resources in both builders & connecting business side things like coordinating with CEX, institutions n whales
๐น Goat's Network Design
GOAT network introduce GOAT-OCP for consensus layer & finality layer.
They are the first BTC L2 introducing decentralised sequencer, decentralisedly securing the consensus layer while more ๐ฅIMPORTANTLY enabling sustainable revenue in $BTC $GOAT

๐ Don't worry the yield is real revenue not ponzi
โWhat is sequencer?
it handles the task of receiving, organising, executing transactions, and submitting transaction data to be included in blocks and send back to L1
๐TLDR
it makes sure the right information from L2 go to L1

Goat layer would be able to introduce native yield from
> sequencer revenue
> tokenising these yield (too early to tell, but im speculating pendle like defi lego)
> goatBTC can also be minted for various DeFi activity such as yield farming, borrow & lending etc

is 1/7 sequencer Node operator
They are a global top blockchain infra provider+asset management
The ability to onboard amber shows GOAT team's ability to work with institutions + proven track record of building a vibrate Dapp eco on metis, bullish! twitter.com/179512170261718630...
It's too early to predict the economics of GOAT as a L2
Generally the top line fees for layer 2 are broadly define as total gas fee paid by users & gas fee consists of L2 execution fee & L1 security fees.
With the introduction decentralised sequencer revenue there could be some additional revenue/cost towards the GOAT
It will be interesting as i believe the degen has proven to not care about gas fee as long as there are enough speculative/profitable instruments on the layer
with metis's track record of building one of the first fun & active chain back in the days I am hopeful they can repeat this success

To summarise, based on the tech & team, I wouldn't be surprise if GOAT network end up building one of the most active BTC L2
but its still early atm

I am not able to attend to the BTC conference this year but GOAT will be having a booth on block 2.
if anyone is going please keep me posted on any early alphas


Anyways this is just a quick review of a new project I am keeping my eye on
I hope u find this insightful or valuable somehow. Feel free to support me in my substack, use my referral link or just come chat with me in medium rare!
