The most trustworthy ledger humanity has ever built holds value better than anything else - and almost none of the world’s commerce can run on it. I’ve never been able to get past that. All that security doing one job, while commerce still runs on systems that ask you to trust somebody. Changing that is the entire purpose of GOAT Network.

What’s next for GOAT Network? COO @sophianeverfold’s answer: closer work with key partners in specific use cases, and a marketplace of products and services ready for AI agents to buy. Interview by @Genzio at @KBWofficial 2026 🇰🇷

NIST’s final transition report gives elliptic-curve signatures an end date: deprecated after 2030, disallowed after 2035. The schedule doesn’t govern Bitcoin, but the math being retired is the math behind secp256k1, the curve Bitcoin and its layer 2s run on. NIST’s first instruction is the one every migration guide gives: inventory. The inventory GOAT Network follows covers seven cryptographic surfaces, the scheme each runs today, and where each replacement stands:

Agent identity and reputation in 60 seconds, explained like you’re five 🎓 Agents are starting to buy things, but there’s no way to know who, or what, is on the other side of the transaction. Name your agent at and start building reputation at

Cryptographic migrations take years, which is why we started long before the quantum threat was confirmed. The plan CEO @KevinLiu describes follows NIST’s migration framework: every quantum-exposed surface in GOAT Network named, who owns each fix, and the order the replacements land. The furthest along is Ziren, the proof system behind our BitVM3 bridge, where the post-quantum replacement has already been introduced and measured. The full analysis:

A reminder for teams building on GOAT Network: @LayerZero_Labs' default DVN and Executor stop serving GOAT Network on October 30th. If your OApp or OFT bridges to or from GOAT Network and has not moved to the replacement DVNs, complete the migration or contact the team in Discord: For everyone else, nothing changes on the 30th. BTC, GOATED, and BTCB and DOGEB held on GOAT Network continue to work as normal. The one exception: BTCB or DOGEB bridged onward to other chains through third-party OFT adapters must be bridged back to GOAT Network before October 30th. Full details:

BREAKING: GOAT Network and KOSDAQ-listed @Squaretech_HQ have signed an MOU to advance AI agent-powered stablecoin payments in South Korea 🇰🇷 The first focus is a stablecoin payment program for foreign tourists that Square Tech is developing with Lordsystem. It aims to let visitors verify their identity with a mobile passport and pay participating merchants in US dollar stablecoins, and the partners will explore bringing GOAT's AI agent payment technology into it. Under the agreement, Square Tech will lead business development, merchant partnerships and regulatory engagement in Korea. GOAT Network will provide its AI agent payment technology and Bitcoin-secured network infrastructure, and DAC Labs, the core infrastructure developer behind GOAT Network, will support technical integration, security reviews and network operations. Full announcement below.

Final call to USDC.e, USDT and WETH holders on GOAT Network. @StargateFinance support ends today, October 23rd, at around 4pm UTC. If you still hold these assets on GOAT Network, bridge out at before then - transfers need time to clear, so do not leave it to the final hour. Tokens in pools, vaults or lending markets need withdrawing to your wallet first. Full details:

Read the full release on our MOU with KOSDAQ-listed Square Tech over at @BitcoinMagazine. It covers the first program in scope - a stablecoin payment service for foreign tourists in South Korea - and how GOAT agent payment technology fits into it.

The full GOAT story, told by the man behind it all. At @KBWofficial, CEO @KevinLiu sat down with @BitcoinNews to talk Bitcoin security, AI agents, and what GOAT is building to make the two meet. Watch the full interview below.

A checkout built for humans is invisible to AI agents. GOAT Flow gives any business a checkout agents can find, read, and pay - by card or crypto wallet, across multiple major networks. Setup takes just a few minutes - no technical expertise required.

Twelve years ago today, we lost Hal Finney. First to run Bitcoin after Satoshi. First to receive a Bitcoin transaction. And years before anyone built one, he saw that Bitcoin would need a secondary level of payment systems to scale. The story of second layers begins with Hal. It's why our BitVM story from earlier this year opens with his words. Still worth reading today:

The easy part of GOAT Flow is what merchants see: log in, configure, and you're selling to AI agents in minutes. The hard part is what they don't see: a verification core that binds every onchain payment to its exact transaction before any receipt exists. Enormously proud of what the GOAT team has achieved here. The agent economy needed a simple-to-integrate settlement layer it could trust. Now it has one.
