Bitcoin needs L2s to scale — AMA recap with Goat Network
The journey began in early 2023, when Goat’s research team started experimenting with zero-knowledge computation. By the end of 2024, their zkVM was live on mainnet, proving blocks in real time. For Bitcoin and its intentionally limited Script language, this was a breakthrough. Complex computation had to move offchain, yet there was no easy way to bring results back securely.
