The first rollup that enhances the capabilities of Bitcoin blockspace with zero-knowledge technology, now live on Bitcoin Testnet! 🎉🍊🍋
Warning
Citrea Testnet is now launched on top of Bitcoin Testnet4. While many key features are completed, Citrea's proper integration with Bitcoin Mainnet and Clementine are still ongoing, and it is also going to be audited for the Mainnet.
Follow our website & social media accounts for announcements regarding the next phases of Citrea.
Citrea uses BTC as its native token. There's no Citrea token. Please beware of scams!
Please also note that BTC and cBTC of Citrea Testnet does not carry any real value.
Citrea is the first rollup that enhances the capabilities of Bitcoin blockspace with zero-knowledge technology, making it possible to build everything on Bitcoin.
Every transaction occuring on Citrea, is fully secured by zero-knowledge proofs and optimistically verified by Bitcoin via BitVM. The execution environment of Citrea is trustless with respect to Bitcoin and is accessible to all participants of the Bitcoin Network.
Citrea's vision is to build scalable infrastructure that advances Bitcoin into its next phase, foundation for world's finance. Citrea represents Bitcoin Security at Scale with its execution shard that keeps the settlement and data availability on-chain, on-Bitcoin.
