A project with the objective of expanding the usefulness of Bitcoin is to address the guarantee requirements of joining the block chain to the programmable 2s layer.
Rollup Project Citrea deployed its Clementine bridge at the Bitcoin Testnet. The bridge uses the BITVM2 programming language to expand the disposition of decentralized finance (DEFI) in Bitcoin, using it to verify layer 2 and lateral technologies that can be completely programmed in the way Bitcoin is not.
“A safe bridge between Bitcoin and a secondary layer has always been a bottleneck to use BTC in a programmable environment,” Citrea said Monday.
Clementine is designed to solve this by providing a minimized form of confidence to unite Bitcoin (BTC) for use in Defi environments.
The Bitvm computing paradigms family, which could allow intelligent Ethereum -style contracts in Bitcoin, to be often in the hearts of the developers attempts to make the network more programmable and, therefore, allow BTC to feed Defi activities.
However, BitVM is hindered by the requirement to deposit BTC as a security mechanism every time a calculation begins.
“We reuse the operator’s guarantee, allowing them to facilitate multiple plugs with a single guarantee,” said Citrea Ekrem Bal Coindesk in a telegram message.
The plugs refer to the asset move process of a side chain to Bitcoin, which triggers the release of the BTC warranty blocked in the main chain.
Citrea deployed Clementine in the original Bitvm design last September. The last Citrea bridge uses Bitvm2, an update that has improvements such as allowing any participant to challenge suspicious transactions, not just a fixed set of operators.
