Citrea Emerges to Transform Bitcoin Scaling through Innovative ZK Rollups

Citrea, an innovative project incubated by Chainway Labs, emerged from stealth mode, presenting a groundbreaking approach to scale Bitcoin through ZK rollups.

Unlike other scaling solutions that compete with Bitcoin, Citrea aims to leverage the decentralization and security of Bitcoin while contributing to scaling efforts. It introduces a unique method of settling transactions using ZK proofs within the Bitcoin blockspace, offering the “only execution layer on Bitcoin that settles on Bitcoin.” Citrea’s approach addresses the limitations of existing solutions like the Lightning Network and sidechains, providing a comprehensive solution for Bitcoin to serve as the foundation for global finance.

Additionally, Citrea allows the adaptation of Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) apps on the Bitcoin network, making it a versatile platform for various applications. Currently undergoing testing in a private testnet, Citrea plans to launch a public testnet in the coming months. Stay tuned for further updates on this transformative scaling solution.
