Another chapter unfolds in the development of the Bitcoin economy and applications on Solana.
During Epoch 6, Zeus Network has been in constant motion, both physically and virtually. The team not only engaged directly with the Bitcoin and Solana communities in the US but also unveiled the next phase of Bitcoin applications on Solana.
Let’s dive into the Zeus ecosystem:
btcSOL (Launching Soon)
Stake SOL, Grow BTC!
The newly announced product is in fast-paced development to deliver the dream of unifying the Bitcoin and Solana ecosystems. It enables SOL and Solana Liquid Staking Token (LST) holders to stake their positions and automatically accumulate BTC.

𐓷 First Conference Appearance
btcSOL has made its first appearance at the Solana Summit to meet the founders and developers in Da Nang, Vietnam, during the event.
btcSOL is aiming to launch in July 2025. Join the whitelist.
APOLLO (v1.5 Upgrade)
APOLLO’s Solana-native Bitcoin, zBTC (Zeus Network Bitcoin), has now surpassed $10M in liquidity on Solana and integrated with over 15 ecosystem partners.
zBTC is offering Bitcoin holders a whole new experience to earn yield or utilize their BTC within the Solana ecosystem. Through liquidity providing, staking, borrowing, and lending, zBTC creates multiple avenues for Bitcoin utility.

𐓷 Become a zPioneer
Merely holding zBTC allows users to be part of a future where Bitcoin is freely utilized on-chain. zPioneer is designed for trailblazers who are building not just Bitcoin, but the future of the economy. If Bitcoin is the next global currency, then Solana is the first stop where it operates most efficiently. Join this movement and help shape the future together.
zPioneer will be open to join soon. Follow Galxe for more.
𐓷 Mainnet v1.5: cbBTC → BTC
Unlike the centralized wrapping process of cbBTC (Coinbase Bitcoin), zBTC (Zeus Network Bitcoin) leverages Zeus Network’s permissionless framework to peg with native Bitcoin without requiring users to complete KYC verification.
APOLLO’s latest upgrade enables the withdrawal of cbBTC to native BTC, allowing users to seamlessly withdraw their Coinbase Bitcoin between Solana and the Bitcoin network without intermediaries.

Ecosystem Developments
𐓷 Solana Accelerate
What do you think about Bitcoin on Solana?
It’s the topic everyone’s talking about, as we’ve seen the presence of Coinbase with cbBTC and OKX with xBTC talk about expanding Bitcoin’s footprint on Solana, the chain we all love, making it bigger and bigger.
Strategic Dialogue with Bitwise: Bitcoin’s Future on Solana
Our recent discussions with Bitwise, one of the industry’s premier crypto asset management firms, provided valuable insights into Bitcoin’s evolutionary trajectory and Solana’s strategic positioning within this transformation. The conversation centered on a fundamental principle: Bitcoin holders prioritize security, transparency, and sovereignty above all else.
Solana’s infrastructure, characterized by sub-second finality, micro-cent fees, and unlimited scalability, naturally aligns with these core values, creating an optimal environment for Bitcoin to transcend its traditional store-of-value role and become genuinely productive.
Beyond Layer 2 Limitations
The current Bitcoin scaling revolution, primarily driven by Layer 2 solutions, faces inherent structural challenges that limit long-term viability. Liquidity fragmentation across multiple Layer 2 networks creates inefficient markets and poor user experiences. Additionally, the lack of cohesive communities around these fragmented solutions prevents the organic growth necessary for sustainable scaling. These barriers fundamentally constrain bridged Bitcoin from achieving its full potential.
Solana as Bitcoin’s Performance Layer
Zeus Network’s vision positions Solana not merely as another blockchain, but as Bitcoin’s performance layer, a unified environment where Bitcoin can operate at peak efficiency. Unlike fragmented Layer 2 ecosystems, Solana offers concentrated liquidity pools and vibrant, unified communities that create network effects essential for scaling.
The combination of Solana’s technical superiority and community cohesion provides Bitcoin holders with the security and sovereignty they demand, while enabling the speed and cost-efficiency required for mainstream adoption.

𐓷 Bitcoin Vegas 2025
What do you think about Solana?
Zeus Network attended Bitcoin Vegas 2025, making a significant impact on the Bitcoin community by showcasing the integration of Bitcoin with Solana’s high-performance infrastructure. Team members engaged with developers, investors, and enthusiasts to demonstrate how Zeus Network is creating new opportunities for Bitcoin holders.
𐓷 Chainlink Integration: zBTC PoR and CCIP
The integration will ensure that zBTC adopts Chainlink Proof of Reserve to verify 1:1 asset collateralization. Additionally, it will enable zBTC to connect seamlessly with major blockchain networks and support transfers across Base, Ethereum, Solana, and Sonic mainnets.

Bitcoin Economy and Applications
Epoch 6 represents a pivotal moment in Bitcoin’s evolution on Solana. Through btcSOL’s innovative staking model, APOLLO’s expanding ecosystem integrations, and our growing network metrics, we’re demonstrating that Bitcoin’s utility extends far beyond simple value storage.
The infrastructure we’ve built enables developers to create applications that were previously impossible. The partnerships we’ve forged provide immediate scale and credibility. The metrics we’ve achieved prove market demand for Bitcoin applications.
We’re not just building protocols, we’re architecting the financial infrastructure that will power the next generation of global commerce. This is how Bitcoin becomes more than digital gold. This is how it becomes the foundation of a new financial system.
