LayerEdge has launched its incentivized testnet after reporting strong devnet metrics, introducing RISC Zero zkVM integration, light-node verification, and a phased rollout aimed at extending Bitcoin-backed security to broader applications.
Citrea, incubated by Chainway Labs, emerged from stealth to propose the first Bitcoin-native ZK rollup using BitVM. It leverages Bitcoin's block space for settlement via zero-knowledge proofs, supports EVM apps, and aims to make Bitcoin the ultimate settlement layer for all chains without modifying the protocol.
Citrea emerges from stealth with the first native Bitcoin scaling solution using ZK rollups, leveraging BitVM for on-chain proof verification and EVM compatibility, aiming to position Bitcoin as the base layer for multi-chain finance.
Citrea has emerged from stealth with a Bitcoin-native ZK rollup design built around BitVM ideas, aiming to scale Bitcoin without protocol changes and enable EVM applications to settle on Bitcoin.
