Intros

Zeus Network

• Zeus Network is a multichain layer built on Solana, enabling permissionless Bitcoin interoperability across leading blockchain ecosystems. Its first dApp, APOLLO, is now live, introducing 1:1 pegged zBTC on Solana, unlocking seamless Bitcoin liquidity. The network is set to expand, integrating other UTXO-based assets like LTC and DOGE on Solana.

• Zeus Program Library (ZPL) is the SDK for builders to develop Bitcoin dApps on Solana.

APOLLO

• APOLLO, the first dApp on ZPL (Zeus Program Library), leverages Zeus Network's permissionless cross-chain infrastructure. It allows Bitcoin holders to manage their BTC across chains with two main functions:

  1. Lock BTC on Bitcoin to mint zBTC on Solana

  2. Return zBTC on Solana to unlock BTC on Bitcoin

zBTC

• Each zBTC follows the ZPL-asset standard and is pegged 1:1 with native BTC, which stays transparently locked on the Bitcoin network. The advantages of zBTC include:

  1. Programmable: Seamlessly integrates with the Solana ecosystem.

  2. Decentralized: Full ownership of assets across both Bitcoin and Solana networks.

  3. No-KYC: Unrestricted minting of zBTC and withdrawal of BTC.
