    3 Months of CTR - Coordination Asset for the Bitcoin Economy The past three months have marked a critical chapter in Citrea’s journey to enable Bitcoin capital markets at scale. The successful launch of CTR was the culmination of three years of relentless infrastructure development and robust ecosystem growth, laying the groundwork for decentralized lending, vaults, stablecoin integrations, and significant institutional onboarding. As we reflect on this momentum, this article will cover the key milestones we have achieved together over the past three months. 10M CTR Distributed to Early Stakers xCTR (staked CTR) has been live since day one, and we have witnessed strong and consistent demand for staking. At its peak, total xCTR positions reached an impressive 127 million. The Early Staker Program was a major catalyst contributing to this growth. As of August 26, this program successfully concluded, with 10 million CTR fully distributed to early stakers. Although staking rewards currently come only from early unstaking penalties, xCTR numbers remain strong. New incentive frameworks are currently in development to reward active ecosystem participation. Governance Live Since Day 1 A user-led Bitcoin economy is at the core of our vision, which is why CTR staking and governance have been live since the very beginning. Citrea uses an optimistic governance framework where xCTR holders do not need to actively cast a vote if they agree with a proposal. This system streamlines the process while maintaining decentralized governance for the protocol. The community has already put this model into action with the protocol's first governance proposal, "Core 10" which reduced the xCTR unstaking period to 14 days. With the CTR launch, the stakers have become the governors of the Bitcoin economy. Broad CTR Listing The CTR launch marked one of the broadest listing distributions in the Bitcoin ecosystem. Reflecting deep institutional backing and industry-wide alignment, CTR launched across the most liquid exchanges in the digital asset space. Today, CTR is listed across 15+ exchanges, including tier-1 venues such as @Official_Upbit, @BithumbOfficial, @coinbase, @binance (Alpha & Futures), @Bybit_Official (Futures), @krakenfx, @Lighter_xyz, and more. This widespread support underscores market confidence in Citrea’s distinct approach to realizing Bitcoin capital markets at scale. Looking Ahead: The Future of Bitcoin Capital Markets The first three months of CTR have set a powerful foundation, showing the demand for scalable, decentralized Bitcoin financial infrastructure. With Citrea governance actively shaping the protocol and new staking incentive frameworks under development, Citrea is better positioned than ever to enable Bitcoin capital markets at scale. Thank you to the stakers, voters, and partners who have made these milestones possible. The best is yet to come. This article was originally published on the Citrea blog.

    CTR is Live - How to Delegate & Vote CTR embodies the belief that the Bitcoin economy should rely on the strategic interests and active curation of its own users. This is accomplished through a modified vote-escrow staking model. Users stake CTR to receive xCTR, a non-transferable token that grants voting power over the Citrea Governance Treasury and the Citrea Network Staking CTR serves as the foundational mechanism for participating in the network's governance and ecosystem incentives. However, to exercise their voting power, xCTR holders must delegate their voting power to either themselves or someone else. Governance operations for the Citrea Network are conducted on @AragonProject: https://app.aragon.org/dao/citrea-mainnet/0xA941b1C1D9aDC88C9241aA3ACA59E8B8f0386419/proposals?proposals=all Step-by-Step Guide: How to Delegate Voting Power To be able to vote on proposals, xCTR holders must delegate voting power to either themselves or someone else. Upon technical readiness and potential activation of the Gauge System, being an active voter becomes more important because active xCTR voters receive multiplied liquidity emissions. How to delegate voting power: Access the Members Portal: Go to the Aragon interface for Citrea DAO members: Citrea DAO Members Page. Connect Your Wallet: Click connect and make sure you are actively viewing the “Members” section. Choose Your Delegation: You will see three primary options: "Featured Delegates" or "xCTR": Click these to explore recognized community members and see if their governance philosophies align with your interests. "Yourself": Choose this option if you want to retain your voting power and vote directly on all incoming proposals. "Someone else": Select this if you have a specific wallet address or an advocate in mind. Submit the Delegation: Confirm the transaction in your wallet to finalize the delegation. Make sure to have cBTC in your wallet to cover the transaction cost. Step-by-Step Guide: How to Vote on Proposals A network’s strength lies in the hands of its active participants. xCTR holders who delegated their voting power can vote on proposals. Go to the Proposals Dashboard: Navigate to the Aragon interface for Citrea DAO proposals: Citrea DAO Proposals Page. Review Active Proposals: Click on any open proposal to read its full text and understand its intent. Cast Your Vote: Select your stance (e.g., Approve or Veto) and submit the transaction to exercise your xCTR voting power. Make sure to have cBTC in your wallet to cover the transaction cost. Conclusion xCTR puts stakers at the center of the network’s evolution and incentives, giving them an immediate voice in how the ecosystem evolves. The gauge system, once live, creates a self-reinforcing loop between staking, voting, liquidity, and application growth that scales with the network. To enable stakers to accumulate more voting power, 10 million CTR has been strategically allocated for the first 90 days of the token launch to establish a highly committed foundation of early network governors. This 10 million CTR allocation will be distributed as xCTR, and the week 1 distribution has already started! The Bitcoin economy should be governed by the people who use it.

    Seven Days of CTR: Accelerating the Bitcoin Economy Citrea’s mission is to unite institutions, users, and developers to power the Bitcoin economy. The past seven days have marked a critical milestone in this journey with the official launch of Citrea’s token, CTR. Having already established a live ecosystem of Bitcoin lending, yield vaults, and deep stablecoin liquidity, CTR marks the next phase of this growth with a competitive capital coordination mechanism. CTR is a necessary mechanism to catalyze capital efficiency, drive protocol governance, and activate institutional-grade Bitcoin capital markets at scale. One of the Broadest Listing Distributions in the Bitcoin Ecosystem Over the last week, we witnessed one of the most comprehensive token debuts in the Bitcoin landscape. CTR was distributed globally and compliantly from day one, with trading volumes remaining strong throughout the entire week. From its genesis, CTR became accessible across the world’s most liquid venues, including Coinbase, Binance Alpha, Binance Futures, Kraken, FalconX, Lighter, Aster, HTX, Gate, Gate Futures, Bitget Futures, Kucoin, Bitvavo, Mexc, Lbank, and Bitmart. The inclusion of institutional OTC networks like FalconX alongside tier-1 global consumer venues highlighted accessibility from day one. This broad support reflects market confidence in Citrea’s distinct approach to realizing Bitcoin capital markets at scale. xCTR Has Been Live with 10 Million CTR Staking Rewards A network’s strength lies in the hands of its active participants. CTR embodies the belief that the Bitcoin economy should rely on the strategic interests and active curation of its own users. This is accomplished through a modified vote-escrow staking model. Users stake CTR to receive xCTR, a non-transferable token that grants voting power over the Citrea Governance Treasury and the Citrea Network. To establish maximum alignment from day one, 10 Million CTR has been allocated specifically for early stakers and will be distributed as xCTR over the first 90 days of CTR’s launch. Week 1 of the 10M CTR early staking rewards is already deployed on-chain. The contract is set to distribute 833,333 CTR to xCTR holders over 7 days, starting June 3. Rewards accrue automatically to xCTR positions, allowing stakers to seamlessly accumulate voting weight. Post-TGE Product Roadmap is Live CTR is just the beginning of an ambitious journey, building Bitcoin capital markets at scale. Citrea has a clear product roadmap of enabling institutions and users to access Bitcoin capital markets. BTC Structured Products: Citrea is doubling down on BTC structured products. Having already partnered with premier asset managers and protocols like Noon, Keyrock, and Morpho to provide an initial suite of vault opportunities, our next step is to deepen this institutional pipeline and deploy a broader variety of structured products. The Citrea Gateway: We are actively streamlining how users interact with the network. Designed as the ultimate access point for our ecosystem, the Gateway will remove the friction of navigating across various applications, making it incredibly straightforward to manage positions, assess risk, and deploy capital from a single, unified interface. [Unannounced Flagship Product]: We are currently engineering another flagship product that will be revealed soon. This is Just the Beginning The opening week of CTR has marked one of the strongest token launches in the Bitcoin ecosystem to date. With comprehensive global distribution, activation of xCTR, and a clear product roadmap, Citrea has established a foundation built to last. Behind the scenes, the institutional pipeline continues to deepen, the user experience is being constantly refined, and core engineering milestones are steadily progressing toward long-term network resilience and decentralization. The era of hyper-scalable Bitcoin capital markets is coming. Stay tuned for what comes next.
