BitcoinKit, powered by Zeus Network, is a comprehensive open infrastructure toolkit that transforms Bitcoin into programmable money on Solana.

BitcoinKit provides developers with everything needed to integrate Bitcoin functionality into their applications, from no-code widgets to full SDKs, unlocking direct access to Bitcoin's $2 trillion liquidity without corporate gatekeepers.

First Major Integration: Enabling Jupnet's Bitcoin Interoperability via BitcoinKit

BitcoinKit makes its debut powering Jupiter’s Omnichain Liquidity Network, Jupnet, where Bitcoin can flow seamlessly into the high-performance DeFi ecosystem. Through this strategic integration, Jupnet users can deposit and withdraw native Bitcoin and UTXO-based assets directly, transforming them into productive assets across DeFi without custodial risks.

Bringing Permissionless Bitcoin to Jupnet

Jupnet represents a new frontier in Solana DeFi, designed specifically for high-performance trading and seamless multichain interoperability. With the BitcoinKit integration, Jupnet enables developers to launch Bitcoin-powered applications instantly, as well as users to put their BTC to work across the ecosystem in a permissionless way.

Bitcoin holders are given permissionless access to Bitcoin’s $2 trillion liquidity without sacrificing custody of their assets or relying on centralized intermediaries. This breakthrough opens Bitcoin's massive capital base to productive use cases that were previously impossible, from yield farming to advanced trading strategies.

Zeus Network serves as a strategic co-developer of Jupnet alongside the Jupiter team, with Zeus infrastructure powering the entire Bitcoin stack and operating nodes that maintain JupLend's Bitcoin flows. This deep integration ensures seamless Bitcoin experiences across all Jupnet applications.

What is BitcoinKit?

BitcoinKit is Zeus Network's answer to the fragmented landscape of Bitcoin infrastructure solutions. Rather than forcing developers to navigate complex custody arrangements or rely on centralized bridges, BitcoinKit provides a complete, open-source toolkit that makes Bitcoin programmable while maintaining its decentralized ethos.

How BitcoinKit Verifies Bitcoin Using SVM

BitcoinKit leverages ZeusLayer to verify and tokenize Bitcoin in real-time. When users deposit Bitcoin, the system creates zBTC tokens backed 1:1 by native Bitcoin, with all transactions verified by its consensus mechanism. This process maintains Bitcoin's security guarantees while enabling programmable functionality across the Solana ecosystem. The verification process is completely transparent and permissionless – anyone can audit the Bitcoin reserves, and no single entity controls the tokenization mechanism.

Expanding the Bitcoin Ecosystem Through Strategic Partnerships

BitcoinKit's modular architecture positions it as foundational infrastructure for Bitcoin's programmable future, extending far beyond any single blockchain ecosystem.

The vision extends beyond Solana to create a universal Bitcoin infrastructure layer. While Solana provides the high-performance verification and programmability layer, BitcoinKit's open architecture allows other blockchain ecosystems to tap into Bitcoin's liquidity through standardized interfaces. With BitcoinKit, various ecosystems can access Bitcoin functionality without building their own infrastructure from scratch.

BitcoinKit: Comprehensive Developer Tools for the Bitcoin Economy

BitcoinKit offers four key features designed for developers at every level:

  • True Bitcoin Liquidity - Direct zBTC access, not wrapped alternatives
  • Developer-First Design - Widget, Agent, CLI, API, and SDK options
  • Self-Owned - Open source, transparent, and governance-driven
  • Permissionless - Build without approval, compliance, or custody concerns

By providing open, permissionless access to Bitcoin's massive liquidity pool, BitcoinKit enables innovations that were previously impossible within Bitcoin's native constraints. It empowers developers across multiple verticals: DeFi protocols could offer Bitcoin-native trading, payment platforms could enable programmable Bitcoin transactions, and entirely new categories of Bitcoin applications could emerge.

Build on Bitcoin Now

BitcoinKit is available today for developers ready to unlock Bitcoin's programmable potential.

The era of sleeping Bitcoin capital is ending. BitcoinKit makes it possible for every developer to tap into Bitcoin's $2 trillion market cap and create applications that serve Bitcoin holders worldwide. Whether building the next generation of DeFi protocols or pioneering entirely new use cases, BitcoinKit provides the infrastructure foundation needed to succeed.
