PANews May 5 news, according to Forbes report, Bitcoin mining company GoMining announced plans to launch the payment protocol GoBTC at the Consensus conference, attempting to build a "mining company exclusive" Bitcoin payment network based on its own computing power and block generation capability. The core logic of this solution is: leveraging its own mining pool block generation capacity (about 2-4 blocks per day), transactions are packaged and directly written into the Bitcoin main chain, achieving instant authorization and on-chain settlement within hours, while reducing merchant fees to about 0.2%, significantly lower than Visa and Mastercard's fee range of about 1.5% - 3.5%.
GoMining CEO Mark Zalan stated that this system does not rely on the Lightning Network or Layer 2, but instead determines fees through the mining pool during block generation, achieving a payment experience that is "almost zero cost to users," while distributing fees between the wallet provider and the miner.
In this model, payment flows are processed in batches through multi-signature wallets before entering the GoMining mining pool block generation process, forming an integrated closed loop of "payment - packaging - block generation," which is seen externally as a design that deeply binds the payment protocol with computing power infrastructure.
Analysis suggests that the key innovation of this model lies in binding the payment protocol's "block generation rights" with the "fee structure," making mining companies both the settlement network and the core of revenue distribution. However, its scalability still depends on merchant adoption rates, compliance requirements, and competition pressures from existing payment networks like Lightning.
