I recently read this long article (not all cryptocurrencies are the same), and it resonated with me.
If all cryptocurrencies were the same, there wouldn't be arguments like 'Bitcoin will always be the leader, and there are only Bitcoin and others' anymore. It is precisely because they are different that mainstream coins, altcoins, and various niche markets have their value.
Especially on the eve of the AI explosion (which is now), I have been thinking: how could all currencies support large-scale autonomous payments for AI Agents?
Why is that? The reason is simple. I have conflicts with the bank, and I can sue; if I have issues with someone’s funds, I can report it to the police. However, the autonomous payments brought by AI do not support such manual interventions after the fact.
🤔 I also support Ethereum, Solana, and stablecoins as payment paths for AI, but historically, they do have some unavoidable issues.
Ethereum: To put it bluntly, it sometimes reflects individual will. The early DAO rollback incident showed that its governance has certain controversies. Additionally, when the network is congested, Gas fees can reach as high as 1 ETH, which is an uncertainty that AI cannot afford.
Solana: Although I personally use it often, there have been multiple downtimes, with the longest being over ten hours, which is fatal for AI Agents needing 24/7 settlement.
Stablecoins: The core issue is compliance and centralization risk, as the issuer has the right to freeze user assets, which contradicts the original intention of AI autonomous payments.
Therefore, a non-congested + most decentralized cryptocurrency is the best choice. Obviously, that is BTC.
➡️Solution
But the BTC chain itself is too congested, and using wBTC, a centralized stablecoin on the ETH chain, deviates from the essence of BTC. Therefore, BTC Layer2 is a better choice, namely GOAT Network.
GOAT Network is building a Bitcoin-native zkRollup tech stack aimed at enabling financial activities priced in BTC. Its built-in dispute resolution and exit mechanisms can be enforced under Bitcoin's consensus rules.
Currently, a series of BTC yield schemes provided by GOAT Network can be found at yield.goat.network.
It ensures that the BTC of AI agents is always their BTC (inheriting security) while also having high throughput and low fees. Its implementation path is very hardcore:
GOAT BitVM2 technology framework: Enables decentralized asset bridging and on-chain security verification without changing the Bitcoin mainnet code. Even if GOAT's nodes attempt to act maliciously, anyone can leverage the Bitcoin mainnet's computing power to challenge and defeat the wrongdoers. This is what is referred to as 'inheriting Bitcoin's security.'
Decentralized Sequencer: This high-performance architecture achieves real-time settlements with extremely low latency, perfectly supporting the high-frequency trading needs of AI Agents.
EVM compatibility support: Allows the existing x402 protocol to smoothly transition to the GOAT Network.

➡️I specifically asked Gemini a question: If an AI agent could make money, what cryptocurrency and chain would you most like to earn? The answer is: BTC and GOAT Network.
When both crypto veterans and AI agents have made their choices, the narrative leaders of the future are already quite clear.
❓Question:
Since GOAT Network is designed as a BTC L2 for AI agents, when AI agents like Light perform tasks on-chain, which public chain's security is inherited during settlement?
