1/🍋 What can you build on Citrea?

@citrea_xyz is a zk-rollup built on https://t.co/nGeXJrl3RC EVM. No Solidity. Just UTXOs + zk proofs.

So what kind of apps actually make sense here?

2/ We’ve been digging into what early builders are trying - and what kinds of designs this architecture actually allows.

Kicking things off with: simple BTC-native apps. https://t.co/r1MUaIFFMu

3/🛠 Already in motion:

Citrea's architecture isn’t just theoretical - people are already building.

World's most advanced blockchain, extending Bitcoin's #PoW to Web3 through DA &

5/ Meanwhile, @envio_indexer is helping index all that zk data. @CitreaOrigins is bringing zk research to universities. @Hyperlane has integrated with Citrea testnet to explore cross-rollup messaging. And @BitcoinRollups keeps track of all this as it unfolds.

These aren’t just ideas and they’re already happening.

6/ Compared to EVM:

• There’s no global state
• No smart contract accounts
• No composability as you know it

7/ But that’s the point. Citrea keeps things closer to Bitcoin - minimalism + proofs

@syscoin is experimenting with zkEscrow contracts. The @citrea_xyz team has been testing BTC-backed stablecoins. Some builders are trialing zkDEX designs and BitVM-style payment channels, all grounded in zk validity.

4/ @chainway_xyz released early dev tools for working with zkUTXO logic. There’s even a scripting playground emerging in GitHub repos.

Exciting to see Citrea focusing on BTC-native apps. UTXOs and zk proofs offer a unique opportunity to enhance scalability and privacy. Looking forward to more innovative projects leveraging this architecture.

Exciting developments on Citrea! UTXO model with zk-proofs offers unique advantages for BTC-native apps, enabling faster, cheaper transactions. Looking forward to seeing more builders explore this innovative architecture.
