A Guide to Building Bitcoin Applications on Citrea
summary
Citria is an EVM-compatible Bitcoin rollup that stores its chain data on Bitcoin, runs Solidity contracts unchanged, and has been live on testnet for over a year with a planned mainnet early next year. The bridge uses zero-knowledge trust-minimized bridge logic where only one honest verifier/operator is needed to guarantee exits (vs a typical 3-of-5 multisig), and the protocol is audited and open source with BlockSense and Redstone oracles available.
