Bitcoin ZK Rollup Protocol Citrea Launches Public Devnet

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.
