Bitcoin Rollup Citrea Deploys BitVM-Based Bridge 'Clementine' on Testnet
Briefly

Citrea's Clementine bridge utilizes BitVM, facilitating Ethereum-style smart contracts on Bitcoin, potentially leading to advancements in zero-knowledge computations and scalability.
Orkun Mahir Kılıç, CEO of Chainway Labs, explained that Citrea's EVM compatibility means Ethereum applications can be deployed on Citrea effortlessly, expanding the ecosystem.
Clementine operates as a trust-minimized two-way peg program, locking up Bitcoin on the main chain while minting equivalent tokens for use on Citrea.
BitVM aims to connect rollups to the Bitcoin ecosystem, enabling transactions to be settled off the main blockchain, which alleviates congestion and reduces transaction fees.
