Citrea is a zero-knowledge rollup that settles on Bitcoin. It batches transactions off-chain, then publishes data and validity proofs to Bitcoin, so Bitcoin acts as both the data availability and settlement layer. Its bridge uses a BitVM-based design aimed at minimizing trust. The mainnet launched in January 2026, which makes this a young network.
Our data lists CTR as the native token. Users pay transaction fees as gas, and because the chain is built around Bitcoin, activity is tied closely to BTC. Check the official docs for the current gas asset and fee details before you transact. DeFi TVL on Citrea was about $8.8 million at the time of writing, so liquidity is still small compared with older chains.
The ecosystem is early and focused on putting Bitcoin to work. Satsuma is a DEX backed by the Citrea Foundation, and atomiq exchange handles swaps between native Bitcoin and several chains. Mystic Finance Lending offers Morpho-based lending with a focus on tokenized real-world assets. Fibrous aggregates swap routes, and OmniHub covers NFT launches and trading. Our site lists 11 dApps for Citrea so you can compare them.
