By integrating zero-knowledge proofs and EVM compatibility, Citrea aims to make Bitcoin a viable platform for a wide range of financial applications, positioning it as a global financial infrastructure. Funding and Team: Developed by Chainway Labs, Citrea raised $2.7M in seed funding in 2023 (led by Galaxy) and $14M in a Series A round in 2024 (led by Founders Fund). The team is focused on advancing Bitcoin’s adoption as a programmable asset. Community and Ecosystem: Citrea supports developers through the Citrea Origins (@CitreaOrigins) program, fostering the creation of non-custodial Bitcoin applications (₿apps) for payments, DeFi, and privacy-focused solutions.
