According to Foresight News, Bitcoin's ZK Rollup protocol, Citrea, has launched its Public Devnet, targeting developers and users. The launch signifies the testing of Bitcoin as a data availability layer, establishing it as the foundation of a dynamic financial ecosystem. The team is currently engraving the state differences and batch zero-knowledge proofs into Bitcoin and testing sequencers, provers, and full node software. However, the Public Devnet has not yet implemented Clementine or BitVM in terms of cross-chain. Instead of proving each sequencer commitment, it uses proof sampling.
In previous news from Foresight News, Citrea completed a seed round of financing of $2.7 million. The round was led by Galaxy Ventures, with participation from Delphi Ventures, Taproot Wizards co-founder Eric Wall, and modular blockchain Avail co-founder Anurag Arjun.
