Everyone knows that BTC prices keep hitting new highs, and its security is widely recognized as top-notch. But the problem is, this security is built on miner incentives.
After the 2024 halving, miners’ block rewards will be slashed from 6.25 BTC to 3.125 BTC. By 2025, we’ve already seen the impact—miners’ income has dropped significantly, yet the network’s hash rate is still climbing, even peaking at 921 EH/s in May.
This shows that miners are betting their hard-earned money on the future. But how long can this model last? That’s something we don’t know.
From the data:
The proportion of gas fees has dropped from 7.12% before the halving to 4.02%. The average transaction fee per block has fallen from 0.550 BTC to 0.165 BTC, a 70% decrease.
The real value of L2 lies in creating more transaction demand.
When transaction volume on L2 increases, final settlements still need to return to the BTC mainnet. More transactions mean more fees, which directly subsidize miners’ income.
@GOATRollup uses BitVM2 technology to achieve true Bitcoin-native security inheritance, while enabling complex computations to be completed in seconds through real-time Zk proofs.
Their economic model uses BTC for payments, with revenue distributed between sorting nodes and stakers. Simply put, it’s sustainable income driven by on-chain activity.
Now, with the maturity of technologies like Zk proofs, BitVM2, and real-time verification, BTC holders are looking for more than just secure storage—they want earning opportunities.
When we can do DeFi, lending, and trading on @GOATRollup using BTC, while enjoying Bitcoin-level security, why waste time on other chains?
At the end of the day, L2 is a necessity for the BTC ecosystem. Without the transaction volume and fee income brought by L2, Bitcoin’s security model will face real challenges after the next few halvings. BTC needs security, speed, and earning opportunities to coexist.
