For years, Bitcoin has been the king of crypto, but it has never been made for DeFi.
Slow, expensive, and isolated. No smart contracts, no yield, no composability.
With the launch of $zBTC, @ZeusNetworkHQ has bridged Bitcoin into the Solana ecosystem, finally unlocking its full potential.
What is zBTC?
$zBTC is a native, permissionless version of Bitcoin on Solana.
Unlike wBTC or cbBTC, zBTC is fully decentralized and noncustodial, no middlemen, no KYC. It’s secured by validators and powered by Zeus Network’s infrastructure.
You can mint $zBTC by locking native BTC through APOLLO, the Zeus-native bridge.
Once minted, $zBTC is instantly usable across the entire Solana DeFi ecosystem.
And to help you understand what sets it apart, here’s a comparison between $zBTC, $cbBTC, and $wBTC.

$zBTC has already onboarded 285+ BTC with over $87M in volume.
The current TVL sits at $32M+, with more than 4,500 users interacting with the protocol every 24 hours.
Through APOLLO, Zeus is also helping users redeem other versions of Bitcoin.
For example, a recent redemption saw $2M worth of cbBTC successfully bridged back to native Bitcoin.

APOLLO - Bitcoin On-Chain Exchange on Solana
@ApolloByZeus lets you bring your BTC into Solana and mint $zBTC, a permissionless, fully redeemable version of Bitcoin.
Visit https://apollodex.io/, connect BTC and Solana Wallets, can be @XverseApp and @solflare
Enter amount Bitcoin to lock, click deposit, then wait a few minutes, and you’ll receive $zBTC straight to Solana wallet.
⚠️ To keep your it safe, avoid using wallets that store Ordinals, Inscriptions, or Runes.
Want your BTC back?
You can redeem your $zBTC at any time withdraw directly from the Zeus Network.
Don’t have BTC?
No problem just swap any asset to $zBTC using @JupiterExchange, it’s fully tradable and verified there.
Finally, put $zBTC to work across top Solana protocols
With integrations across 15+ Solana-native teams, you can start earning:
Lending/Borrowing on @DriftProtocol and soon on @KaminoFinance with (3-5% APY)
Liquidity Provision on @KaminoFinance, @MeteoraAG @stabbleorg with up to 30% on (zBTC/SOL pair)
Farm secure yield on @stabbleorg’s multi-BTC pool (zBTC / xBTC / cbBTC / wBTC), earn 15% APY with low risk, the best one.
Note: You don’t need all 4 BTC assets, just deposit $zBTC.
Since all assets are 1:1 BTC-pegged, there’s no IL risk, and you earn fees across the whole pool.

What else is being built on top?
Zeus Network is building an entire BTCFi ecosystem on Solana, and there is no products even near to this:
@Lightning_Fi - an auto-yield BTC aggregator
It's a one-stop yield protocol for Bitcoin holders, using $zBTC.
You deposit native BTC, it mints $zBTC, puts it to work across Solana vaults, LPs, and lending strategies, and then gives you back your BTC with yield.
No KYC. No wrapped tokens, just real yield on your Bitcoin, with full control and no custody risks.

@btcsol_co — restaking SOL to earn BTC
btcSOL enables Solana holders to stake their SOL and accumulate BTC daily.
