Using Clementine

Clementine is Citrea’s trust-minimized Bitcoin bridge. You can use it only at fixed size: each deposit moves 10 BTC from Bitcoin to Citrea (minting 10 cBTC), and each withdrawal moves 10 cBTC from Citrea to Bitcoin (paying out approximately 10 BTC, subject to fees). There are no partial or custom amounts for a single Clementine operation; larger totals require separate 10 BTC (or 10 cBTC) operations.

To learn how the bridge works and read about its security properties, see Clementine: trust-minimized Bitcoin Bridge.

If you need to bridge less than 10 BTC, use third-party bridges. See Bridge to Citrea and citrea.xyz/bridge for options.

Clementine Web App

The Clementine Web App runs in your browser and walks you through Clementine deposit and withdrawal operations with on-screen steps and status. Use clementine.citrea.xyz on mainnet and clementine.testnet.citrea.xyz on testnet.

Clementine CLI

The Clementine CLI is a wallet-agnostic command-line tool for the same 10 BTC / 10 cBTC operations. It suits advanced setups (for example, air-gapped signing and scripting). The CLI docs cover installation, wallet usage, deposit and withdrawal guides, and reproducible builds.
