Citrea (@citrea_xyz) just announced their incentivised testnet 

✅️ Citrea raised $14M in their just concluded series A round 

what is Citrea building⤵️

Citrea is building the first zero-knowledge (ZK) rollup specifically for the Bitcoin network. Its primary goal is to bring scalable smart contracts and DeFi capabilities to Bitcoin without altering its base layer. Citrea achieves this by processing numerous transactions off-chain and then submitting cryptographic proofs to the Bitcoin blockchain, leveraging Bitcoin's inherent security. This innovative approach aims to dramatically increase transaction throughput, reduce fees, and enable more complex applications on Bitcoin, ultimately making it a more versatile foundation for global finance.
