what's GOATUP?
GOATUP is a decentralized perpetual futures exchange (perp DEX) built natively on the GOAT Network, a Bitcoin Layer 2 solution utilizing zero-knowledge rollups. It enables users to trade over 50 tokens with up to 50x leverage, using native BTC as trustless and lossless collateral, extending Bitcoin's utility beyond simple storage to active DeFi participation. The platform supports single-sided liquidity provision in assets like BTC, USDC, or USDT, allowing providers to earn trading fees without lockups or impermanent loss risks, while fostering capital efficiency in the perp market. Key mechanics include market or limit orders, adjustable leverage via a user-friendly interface, and a points-based rewards system ($GTP) for early traders and liquidity providers during its initial seasons. Integrated directly into GOAT Network's execution layer, GOATUP leverages the L2's scalable infrastructure for fast, low-cost transactions settled on Bitcoin, promoting sustainable yield generation and decentralized sequencing for enhanced security and decentralization.
GOATUP completed Ziren zkVM security audit for Bitcoin proofs, integrated DIA, and ran Soul Tarot.
