Muses, the goddesses of literature, science, and the arts, are the sisters and daughters of Zeus and the romantic companions of Apollo.

Summary

Since late 2023, Zeus Network has been diligently striving to position itself as the first permissionless communication layer linking Bitcoin and Solana.

In recent months, we’ve achieved several significant milestones:

  • 77K APOLLO testers in just 3 weeks
  • 1st project to launch on the Jupiter LFG Launchpad
  • 100K+ holders of $ZEUS token
  • 15+ exchanges listed $ZEUS

Q2 2024: Muses Upgrade

With a successful proof of concept and engagement from thousands of unique users testing APOLLO, we’ve concluded our preliminary phase. Now, our attention shifts to the pivotal development of Zeus Layer and integration on the Bitcoin side, marking the commencement of the real challenges and opportunities ahead.

Zeus Network is anticipating its first major Muses Upgrade to open the gateway to decentralized cross-chain capabilities in Q2 2024.

Zeus Network is a cutting-edge decentralized communication layer designed to achieve a bridgeless cross-chain mechanism through the sophisticated operation of its nodes.

The upcoming introduction of the Singleton Mode in the Muses upgrade will further fortify the robustness and scalability of the Zeus Network, paving the way for more complex and secure cross-chain interactions.

Zeus Node: Singleton Mode

Zeus Node is fundamental to both the security and the functionality of the entire Zeus Network ecosystem, key functionalities of Zeus Nodes encompass:

  • Ensuring secure and encrypted data transmission across the network.
  • Maintaining the integrity and resilience of the network against potential threats.
  • Facilitating seamless cross-chain communication and interoperability between different blockchain ecosystems.

Our developmental approach begins with the deployment of a single node, with our primary objective being the establishment of smooth and secure data transmission capabilities. Upon successful implementation and validation of this foundational functionality, we will then progress to the next phase of becoming a Zeus Node.

Detailed information regarding the associated rewards and terms for participants will be provided as we advance in this developmental journey.

$ZEUS Utility

  • The full power of the Zeus Network native token will be unveiled in the upcoming report, stay tuned for more updates (1–2 weeks).

What’s next?

Zeus Explorer development initiation

The initiation of the Zeus Explorer development phase aims to provide users with a comprehensive and user-friendly interface to track and monitor transactions, addresses, and other vital information within the Zeus Network ecosystem.

APOLLO, the first dApp built on top of Zeus Network, is dedicated to establishing a permissionless liquidity migration from Bitcoin to Solana, significantly enhancing cross-chain interoperability.

Since its inception in late March 2024, APOLLO has successfully engaged with over 77,000 unique users, facilitating the testing of the native $BTC depositing process on its platform.

This substantial user engagement underscores the pronounced demand among Bitcoin enthusiasts for innovative opportunities to yield returns on their dormant $BTC assets within the evolving blockchain landscape.

Bitcoin Wallet Connect

To unlock the gateway for liquidity influx from Bitcoin to Solana, the integration of Bitcoin wallets serves as the initial switch.

Our goal is to deliver an enhanced user experience and simplify the deposit procedure, paving the way for the Mainnet deposit integration planned for the next quarter. This initiative marks a crucial advancement towards realizing our vision of a comprehensive and efficient cross-chain liquidity solution bridging Bitcoin and Solana.

Stunning New UI/UX

APOLLO’s New Landing Page Launching on April 20th!

Get ready for APOLLO’s revamped landing page featuring a sleek, modern design. The highlight of this update is the introduction of a rewarding calculator, allowing users to explore and understand their $BTC yield earning potential.

What’s next?

$tBTC Deposit and Withdrawal

Following the successful testing phase of APOLLO, the immediate focus is on enabling seamless and secure $tBTC (Testing Bitcoin) deposit and withdrawal functionalities on the Zeus Network platform. This will allow users to experiment and familiarize themselves with the cross-chain transaction process before the Mainnet launch.

Ongoing Research / Potential add-on roadmap

Runes Integration

We have figured out a way to interact with the Runes standard permisisonlessly, and we will soon release a full disclosure in a technical paper.
