Citrea has deployed its BitVM-based bridge Clementine to the Bitcoin testnet
ChainCatcher news, according to CoinDesk, the Bitcoin ZK Rollup protocol Citrea has deployed its BitVM-based bridge Clementine to the Bitcoin testnet.
The Citrea team describes Clementine as a "trust-minimized bidirectional peg program," essentially a way to lock Bitcoin on the main chain and then mint an equivalent Bitcoin token for use on Citrea; to reverse this process, the token must be burned, after which Bitcoin can be withdrawn on the Bitcoin blockchain.
Clementine leverages BitVM, a computational paradigm introduced by Bitcoin developer Robin Linus last year, designed ultimately to enable Ethereum-style smart contracts on Bitcoin while also paving the way for zero-knowledge computation.
