The New Chapter for Bitcoin
For 15 years, Bitcoin has been striving to fulfill its purpose as a peer-to-peer electronic cash system. However, due to its low efficiency and limited programmability, many entities can only offer wrapped versions of Bitcoin — compromising both asset transparency and holder privacy.
Zeus Network has now developed a permissionless framework that allows Bitcoin liquidity to flow freely between Bitcoin and Solana. A new chapter in Bitcoin Finance (BTCFi) for Bitcoin holders seeking a modern, decentralized way to use their Bitcoin.
Now Live: APOLLO Mainnet v1 & zBTC
APOLLO, the flagship dApp of the Zeus Ecosystem, launches on March 27 as the first Bitcoin on-chain exchange on Solana. It features zBTC, the first permissionless Bitcoin on Solana, redefining cross-chain Bitcoin liquidity and unlocking new opportunities for the BTCFi sector on Solana.
Ahead of its launch, APOLLO has already demonstrated strong adoption, surpassing $40 million in on-chain volume and minting 50 $zBTC on Solana. These milestones underscore APOLLO’s ability to overcome the limitations of traditional wrapped Bitcoin solutions by providing a transparent, secure, and trustless platform that brings Bitcoin liquidity to Solana.

Building BTCFi on Solana
BTCFi, short for Bitcoin Finance, refers to a suite of decentralized financial services and applications leveraging Bitcoin’s security and liquidity.
Bitcoin holders have been relying on centralized Bitcoin-wrapped solutions, facing challenges and risks with transparency. Therefore, zBTC offers a game-changing alternative — a permissionless 1:1 Bitcoin-pegged asset operating transparently on Solana.
With the public launch of APOLLO on March 27, 2025, all Bitcoin holders can lock their BTCs to mint zBTC and withdraw back to native BTC anytime. APOLLO integrating zBTC into Solana’s DeFi ecosystem will boost Bitcoin liquidity and transform BTCFi.
The zBTC Ecosystem
Moreover, users can leverage zBTC to execute diverse DeFi strategies on Solana. As zBTC integration expands across protocols, opportunities for Bitcoin holders and liquidity providers will grow.
Use cases of APOLLO & zBTC:
- Trading — Swap zBTC on Jupiter
- Liquidity Provision — Provide liquidity on Meteora, HawkFi, and Raydium
- Borrowing & Lending (Coming Soon) — Borrow zBTC, lend USDC on Drift and Save Finance
- Vault Strategy (Coming Soon) — Deposit zBTC on Drift and Neutral Trade
APOLLO offers a fully decentralized environment where users can remain anonymous, with no KYC requirements — unlike centralized bridges or wrapped BTC issuers. This eliminates the risks of asset freezes, censorship, or external control, giving users full sovereignty over their Bitcoin.
Verify, don’t trust
Furthermore, ZeusScan, the Bitcoin on-chain Proof Reserves (PoR), ensures every transaction remains completely traceable, reinforcing Zeus Network and APOLLO’s commitment to security and transparency.

APOLLO: Bitcoin On-Chain Exchange
Soon, APOLLO users can customize their BTC experience — mint zBTC, swap for cbBTC or wBTC, and withdraw any version back to native BTC.
These targets will validate APOLLO’s market demand with its function to manage Bitcoin liquidity efficiently. With the public launch of APOLLO Mainnet v1 and zBTC, Zeus Network is not only redefining Bitcoin’s role in DeFi, but is also driving forward the next era of financial innovation.
An Ecosystem is Growing
“The launch of zBTC and APOLLO represents a milestone as Bitcoin capital efficiency has been unlocked on Solana’s high-performance chain,” says Justin Wang, founder and CEO of Zeus Network. “We anticipate seeing more decentralized applications build around zBTC, leveraging the combined strengths of Bitcoin and Solana.”
Zeus Network continues to solidify its position as a multichain layer, with plans to integrate UTXO-based assets (DOGE, LTC, KAS) on Solana, onboard key institutional liquidity partners, and enhance ZPL-assets to strengthen liquidity coverage.
More Bitcoin dApps on Solana will be presented soon.
