A BTC-native testnet blockchain that lets developers test applications with Bitcoin-based gas fees, featuring Chain ID 2345 for straightforward wallet and tooling integration.
GOAT Network is a BTC‑native testnet for cross‑chain bridging, letting developers pay fees in BTC while testing transfers, swaps, and cross‑chain messaging without mainnet risk. Core use cases include integrating bridge workflows, validating wrapped‑asset mint/burn flows, running liquidity rebalancing simulations, and end‑to‑end wallet/relayer testing. Key metrics (testnet, Sep 2025): average gas cost—N/A, block speed—N/A, TPS—N/A, activity—early/variable.
GOAT Network is unique in using BTC as the native gas token on a testnet, enabling realistic fee modeling for BTC‑centric dApps and bridges compared to testnets that rely on synthetic tokens. It prioritizes interoperability workflows over general‑purpose execution, providing a developer‑focused environment for integration tests and CI pipelines. For performance comparison, no audited benchmarks are public as of Sep 2025 (average gas cost, block speed, TPS, sustained activity: N/A), so treat it as a functionality sandbox rather than a throughput reference.
GOAT Network uses BTC as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain BTC by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge, or through faucets (for testnet).
To bridge BTC to GOAT Network, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select GOAT Network as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
To build on GOAT Network you can use thirdweb, which provides an easy way to build, monetize and scale your apps, games or agents. You can find detailed guides and documentation on https://portal.thirdweb.com to get started quickly.
