About

Citrea is the first ZK Rollup that scales Bitcoin while preserving its security and decentralization. By ensuring on-chain verifiability and data availability directly on Bitcoin, Citrea makes it possible to build everything on Bitcoin. Citrea is fully EVM-compatible, which means that you can utilize your EVM expertise directly to build Bitcoin Applications: ₿apps. With Clementine, Citrea’s trust-minimized bridge (1-of-N), Bitcoin’s trillion-dollar asset base can finally be utilized in DeFi and money markets, unlocking massive untapped liquidity. As Bitcoin’s execution layer, Citrea brings smart contracts to Bitcoin without needing any change its consensus or current form.
