1/ 🍋 Part 2 — zk-primitives & DeFi

In Part 1, we looked at the basics - apps like escrows and swaps that already work on Citrea’s UTXO + zk design.

Now we’re moving deeper into what really makes Citrea different.

Let’s talk about zk primitives and Bitcoin-aligned DeFi.

2/zk-native primitives

zk isn’t an addon in Citrea - it’s foundational.

This unlocks use cases that feel native to the system itself.

3/Some of this is already live or being prototyped

Exciting to see zk-native primitives integrated so deeply into Citrea's design. This foundational approach truly opens up unique DeFi possibilities, aligning well with Bitcoin's principles while pushing the boundaries of innovation. Looking forward to seeing more live implementations!
