+## About The Project
+
+BitMix is a decentralized platform designed to enable secure and private cross-chain swaps between EVM and Non-EVM networks. Unlike traditional exchanges, BitMix prioritizes privacy using advanced zero-knowledge cryptographic mechanisms and ensures transaction security through locking mechanisms. With BitMix, users can experience reliable, private, and decentralized asset swaps.

+
+## Problem Statement
+
+Cross-chain swaps between EVM and Non-EVM ecosystems lack privacy, efficiency, and security. This exposes users to significant risks such as identity leaks and transaction failures. Existing solutions, such as THORSwap and RAILGUN, do not comprehensively address these challenges.
+
+---
+
+## Solution
+
+BitMix provides a decentralized service enabling seamless and private swaps between EVM and Non-EVM chains. Key features include:
+
+-   **Privacy**: Zero-knowledge cryptography ensures user anonymity.
+-   **Security**: Advanced locking mechanisms protect funds.
+-   **Decentralization**: Trustless architecture facilitates reliable swaps.
+
+---
+
+## How It Works
+
+1. **Swap Initiation**
+
+    - Alice requests a private swap using `Pub(A)`.
+    - Locks 1 WBTC for 48 hours through a Signed SACP transaction.
+
+2. **Monitor & Listen**
+
+    - Bob creates a random `Priv(B)` and constructs a script address using `Pub(A)` and `Priv(B)`.
+    - Submits a funding transaction to the script address.
+
+3. **Citrea's Verification**
+
+    - Verifies outputs match the expected `scriptPubKey`.
+    - Confirms transaction inclusion in the Bitcoin block.
+    - Checks encryption proof using ECIES.
+
+4. **Completion**
+    - BitMix decrypts Alice's message and constructs a script address using `Priv(A)` + `Pub(B)`.
+    - Finalizes the BTC transaction and releases WBTC.
+
+---
+
+## Use Cases
+
+-   **Private Cryptocurrency Swaps**: Ideal for traders seeking anonymity.
+-   **Secure Wallet Transfers**: Enables safe transfers between custodial and non-custodial wallets.
+-   **DeFi Integration**: Facilitates seamless interaction between DeFi protocols and Bitcoin.
