The Clemine Bridge in Citriea is the first time that a fully programmed layer is tested for bitcoin.
Georgetown, Kayman Islands, April 21, 2025 / PRNEWSWIRE / – StrokeThe first ZK Rollup to enhance Bitcoin Blockspace capabilities and enable Bitcoin applications (₿apps), successfully published Clementine BridgeThe first full Bitvm bridge design on Bitcoin Testnet. Citrea recently revealed White paper ClemineThe first real world’s implementation of the BITVM bridge, which extends BTC’s interest to decentralized financing in the most possible way of Bitcoin and NATIVE. With Testnet spread from Clemmanin, Bitcoin is first tested to check the optimism of a fully programmatic layer. Clementine Whiteper is currently the only documents of how Bitvm is used to design the bridge with clear solutions towards the implementation of a safe and effective bridge.
Although it is the largest digital asset in the world, BTC has struggled to build importance in decentralized financing. A safe bridge between Bitcoin and the secondary layer of the bottleneck to use BTC in a programmed environment. This problem forced users to either maintain Bitcoin as a negative store for value or rely on guards to use BTC for financial activities. This Citrea from Citrea, by enabling the safest and most trusted method in the BTC Dam and expanding its benefit to decentralized financing.
Clemine’s bridge in Citriea is a historic moment for Bitcoin and a new start for BTC. “I felt magic when we saw all the components of the bridge working smoothly in our internal tests and that any harmful act stopped by one sincere actor,” he said. Ekrem BalParticipating historian of Sitria. “We are now ready to test Clementine in the real Bitcoin Testnet environment and make it more test for Citrea Mainnet.”
With BitVM with Bitcoin Robin Linus developer, auditing on Bitcoin and building bridges cut from Bitcoin is a possibility. Soon after its introduction, the Citriea team became a major contributor to Bitvm and then a founding member of Bitvm AllianceWhere the basic technology of BITVM was developed to implement fraud to prove zero knowledge (ZK) on Bitcoin in a cooperative way. Although the achievement of the ZK proof of Bitcoin was a pre -condition, there are still critical problems that must be treated to implement this basic technology safely and efficiently in the design of the Bitcoin Bridge. Detailed details of this can be found in White paper Clemine.
Clementine and Whiteper design introduces new solutions to the main research topics in the Bitvm -based bridge, the selection of bitcoin chain thorn and capital efficiency for operators. These topics were decisive in solving them because they guarantee the safety and efficiency of the bridge. Citrea’s Clementine Bridge provides clear solutions to all these problems:
- Choose a bitcoin chain thorn: This is associated with ensuring that the bridge follows the longest Bitcoin series. It was an open research theme as the Bitvm creator presented the Superblocks approach but its security was found later. Citriea introduces a new Bitcoin Light customer design that uses Bitcoin’s head series. This evidence is assembled by operators in one bitvm guide.
- Capital efficiency for operators: This was other restrictions on Bitvm efficiently implementing the bridge design. With the Citriea approach in non -standard bitcoin transactions, operators can now handle hundreds of withdrawals in parallel with one guarantee. If only one withdrawal is sufficient to stop other malicious withdrawals.
Clementine design depends on zero knowledge, the availability of Bitcoin data, the design of the new Bitcoin Light customer, and Bitvm. In a harmful action, the honest monitoring tower provides evidence of the longest Bitcoin series. Then the operator creates evidence to verify the Citriea status, the challenges of the monitoring towers, and pay the payment for withdrawal. If the operator is harmful, he will not be able to generate such a guide, which leads to the operator lowering. Clementine has three main actors in the bridge to ensure the safety of the system:
- Signers Imposing bitvm spending through PEG-ins management through simple transactions
- Monitoring towers They are assigned to the monitoring operators and challenge any harmful behavior by sending evidence of the longest chain of bitcoin
- OperatorsA group of profit search entities, temporarily covers user withdrawals and subsequently replaced with improved transactions.
Citrea: Bitcoin application layer (₿app)
Citrea extends Bitcoin without sacrificing its security. Using zero knowledge technology, Citriea enables Bitcoin to work as a fully programmable layer. Through Bitcoin Bridge Clementine, Citrea offers the most secure and most trusted way to BTC Dam to a fully programmable secondary layer.
For the first time in its history, the Bitcoin network will be able to support various applications on the series and will be expanded to decentralized financing.
