## About

### What it is

Citrea is a Bitcoin ZK rollup that uses Bitcoin as both its data availability and settlement layer. It is the first fully programmable platform secured by Bitcoin, featuring cBTC as its trust-minimized wrapped Bitcoin and the Clementine bridge built on BitVM.

### Who uses it

Institutions and users seeking to access Bitcoin capital markets, as well as developers building applications on Bitcoin.

### How it works

Citrea batches transactions and posts zero-knowledge proofs to Bitcoin for verification. Users interact with the platform through an EVM-compatible execution environment, bridging BTC via the Clementine BitVM-based trust-minimized two-way peg.
