Citrea
About
Citrea is a Bitcoin application layer and zero-knowledge rollup platform designed to enable programmable smart contracts and decentralized applications secured by the Bitcoin network. Built to scale Bitcoin execution without compromising its underlying security, the platform utilizes zero-knowledge cryptography to batch and verify off-chain transaction execution directly on Bitcoin. The ecosystem includes Clementine, a BitVM-based trust-minimized bridge that collateralizes liquid Bitcoin assets, as well as native fiat-backed stablecoins, decentralized financial protocol integrations, and developer incubation infrastructure to facilitate liquidity and Bitcoin-denominated financial markets.
Snapshot
Operations
Products and/or services of Citrea
- ZK Rollup Execution Layer: Zero-knowledge rollup execution infrastructure that processes Ethereum Virtual Machine-compatible smart contracts off-chain while anchoring state validity proofs directly to the Bitcoin blockchain for decentralized application settlement and network security.
- Clementine Bridge: BitVM-based optimistic two-way peg bridging protocol that enables trust-minimized transfers of Bitcoin onto the execution rollup as liquid cBTC, having processed over sixty-five million dollars in transaction volume since network deployment.
- Native Stablecoin Infrastructure: Fiat-backed stablecoin ctUSD pegged one-to-one to the United States dollar and fully backed by cash and short-term United States Treasury bills to provide foundational liquidity across decentralized finance applications.
- Yield Vaults: Trust-minimized Bitcoin yield vault protocol enabling asset holders to deposit BTC into automated earn vaults powered by BitVM and zero-knowledge proofs to generate yield without converting into secondary digital assets.
- Developer Incubation Program: Ecosystem support and incubation program providing technical infrastructure, developer grants, go-to-market resources, and community guidance to projects building non-custodial Bitcoin-native financial applications, decentralized exchanges, and privacy wallets.
- Mobile Privacy Wallet: Self-custodial Bitcoin privacy mobile application utilizing zero-knowledge cryptographic execution environments to deliver private financial transactions and asset management, serving over one thousand active privacy users following protocol acquisition.
