A new Bitcoin Layer 2 solution, Citrea, has launched its mainnet. According to reports, Citrea utilizes a zero-knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machine (zkEVM) to inscribe its chain history onto the Bitcoin base layer. The development represents an effort to enhance Bitcoin's capabilities by leveraging zero-knowledge technology, potentially improving scalability and functionality. Layer 2 solutions like Citrea aim to address some of the limitations of the Bitcoin network, such as transaction speed and complexity, without altering the core Bitcoin protocol.
