Citrea Halving Campaign NFT’s
We concluded our Halving Campaign in April with the promise of giving NFTs to those who participated. We received hundreds of submissions for the creative content part and narrowed it down to 15! This month we sent those creative Citreans their NFTs! Congratulations again to the winners whose outstanding contributions have helped spread the Citrean vibe far and wide.
We also gave NFTs to those who took the Halving campaign quiz.
The main squeeze: We love & value our community’s contributions!
EthCC Brussels
We were in Brussels for EthCC 🇧🇪
Citrea was everywhere from keynotes, panels and meetups to whiteboard sessions. Brussels had comprehensive Bitcoin scalability coverage.
We presented and discussed Citrea's use of zero-knowledge proofs at various events.
We connected with builders and hackers in Brussels. We discussed their potential app ideas and our bounties.
We spread the word once again: Bitcoin goes modular!
Find our keynote at modular summit here: Hyperbitcoinization Through Modularity.
The main squeeze: Citrea is the intersection of Bitcoin and ZK.
Scaling Bitcoin Together Brussels Edition
Scaling Bitcoin Together is Citrea's flagship event series dedicated to open and critical discussions on the concepts, definitions, roadmap, and future of Bitcoin scalability. Previously held in Hong Kong and Istanbul, Scaling Bitcoin Together Brussels was a hit with a technical focus.
We had keynotes from Citrea, Starkware and Particle Network and invited fellow Bitcoin builders for a panel to discuss the Bitcoin scalability landscape.
Watch Scaling Bitcoin Together Brussels on our youtube channel.
The main squeeze: Bitcoin scalability can only be accomplished together with other brilliant minds!
Citrea Public Devnet Campaign: Become a Citrea Devnet Expert
Citrea's goal is to onboard people to Bitcoin non-custodially. To serve this purpose, we have curated a series of tasks to help our community navigate around Citrea and its tech.
To make their journey memorable, we designed NFTs that upgrade as our community becomes more and more familiar with Citrea's tech and its ecosystem. Read more about this campaign.
The main squeeze: Citrea Devnet is publishing full blocks and thousands of people are transacting!
Statistics for Citrea Devnet
Citrea Devnet has been live for more than 2 months. We recently achieved 1 million completed transactions and are now nearing 2 million.
We published over 2 million blocks with some of them being full. See more stats about Devnet here.
Track the status of Citrea blocks as they are committed to Bitcoin, proven and finalized.
The main squeeze: Devnet activities are skyrocketing.
Bitcoin Conference 2024 in Nashville
We were in Music City- Nashville between July 25 - 27 for the Bitcoin Conference.
We had a busy booth with lots of interesting questions and demand for Citrea merch.
In Nashville, we detailed Citrea's use of zero-knowledge and presented 'How to Build a Bridge around a Snark Verifier'
We also had fun and connected with OG builders at Citrea x Galaxy cocktail night.
The main squeeze: You gotta come and get some Citrea merch anon!
