Citrea Mainnet Debut Realizes Bitcoin’s Complete On-Chain Capabilities
On January 27, 2026, Citrea formally debuted its mainnet, unveiling an innovative Bitcoin-native application layer for trading, lending, and settlement. This launch shifts Bitcoin from a permanent store of value to a vibrant financial ecosystem, facilitating secure, rapid on-chain transactions.
Citrea utilizes ZK-rollup technology and BitVM verification, establishing a trust-minimized setting in which cBTC (Bitcoin-backed) and ctUSD (native stablecoin) ensure liquidity and facilitate effortless asset transfers without dependence on custodians. More than 30 Bitcoin-backed applications—such as decentralized exchanges, lending services, and privacy-oriented tools—are accessible from the start, enabling users to conduct complex financial activities securely.
The platform features an intuitive dashboard that enables investors and traders to handle assets, track transactions, and navigate applications with ease. ctUSD, constructed on M0’s stablecoin framework, guarantees worldwide accessibility while maintaining institutional compliance in over 160 nations.
Citrea seeks to make Bitcoin a dynamic on-chain financial platform by encouraging miners and increasing Bitcoin-based financial transactions. For investors looking to engage with the next-generation Bitcoin ecosystem, Citrea provides an attractive gateway to secure, innovative, and extremely scalable Bitcoin applications.
