Zeus Network

Official Announcement: Zeus Network has been acquired by @AstarterDefiHub, marking a new chapter for Zeus Through this milestone, Zeus will expand beyond the Solana ecosystem into the Cardano ecosystem, unlocking broader use cases for $zBTC across multiple networks. This marks an important step toward enabling Bitcoin to participate more actively in on-chain financial ecosystems ⛈

btcSOL keeps accumulating zBTC ⛈️ 0.73+ zBTC distributed since launch 2,700+ accumulation events Stake SOL accumulate Bitcoin.

The Zeus app. A single interface place to mint, swap, and earn Bitcoin with ease.

@blknoiz06 ZEUS. Bring your BTC to Solana. zBTC.

what's your favorite app on solana?

Idle Bitcoin is a choice. It doesn't have to be. $zBTC lets you: → Earn yield without selling a sat → Access liquidity without giving up custody → Stay composable across Solana DeFi

@perps Bitcoin (on Solana)

Solana

Want to verify your $zBTC is backed by real Bitcoin? You don't have to trust us. Check it on-chain yourself at explorer.zeusnetwork.xyz 1:1 backed. Proof of Reserves. Always.

@vibhu Bitcoin on Solana

Solana

@luminaries I was hoping to see BTC in there.

anything. & everything. on Solana.

@saylor @Strategy BTC is undoubtedly the asset. But it's native chain is slow, outdated and expensive. Imagine if we put BTC on Solana. That's what we do. Native BTC on Solana. Faster, cheaper and composable across DeFi.

Back to work. $BTC

Bitcoin can process ~7 transactions per second. Solana can process up to 65,000 transactions per second. Solana is 9,000x faster. zBTC is Bitcoin on Solana. Faster, cheaper and composable across DeFi.

@toly @R89Capital zBTC is native BTC on Solana

@R89Capital Btc is the new …

SOL is the new ETH and ETH is the new ADA

1 BTC = 1 zBTC 1 zBTC = 1 BTC The difference isn't value. It's what you can do with it. On Bitcoin's native chain: slow, expensive, limited. On Solana: fast, cheap, composable across all of DeFi. Same Bitcoin. Very different possibilities.

Zeus is not leaving Solana. $zBTC on Solana remains fully operational, 1:1 backed and redeemable to native BTC anytime. Multi-chain expansion doesn't replace what's been built here. It builds on top of it.

@Dadivan_sol @solana @toly @kamino @DeFiCarrot @MeteoraAG @SolanaFndn @humafinance @onrefinance @ExponentFinance @sanctumso False. Zeus is not moving away from Solana. Zeus is expanding beyond the Solana ecosystem. The long-term thesis was always multi-chain expansion.

Last week on Solana was a convergence week. Security pressure, institutional expansion, payments, and new primitives all moved at once. Despite April's exploit-heavy backdrop, the ecosystem kept shipping. Here's everything you missed in 90 seconds 👇 ⸻ ⚠️ Security Fallout Still Unfolding @DeFiCarrot officially shutting down. → Withdraw before May 14. April = crypto's worst month for hacks. → 29 incidents. ATH. @SquadsLabs shipped new multisig tools. → Better transaction verification + monitoring. @MeteoraAG got hit with a $1.5M USDC OTC scam. → Laundered. Unrecoverable. Security isn't a side topic anymore. It's deciding which protocols survive. ⸻ 🏦 RWAs & Institutions Keep Accelerating Solana RWA ecosystem: $2.5B+ TVL. ATH. @WesternUnion prepping USDPT launch. → Direct SWIFT competitor. @SolanaFndn x Shinhan Card (28M users). → Stablecoin payment experiments. @Collector_Crypt x @Loopscale. → Borrow USDC against collectibles. @kamino teasing "new standard" for stablecoin yield. Even under stress, capital keeps flowing in. ⸻ 💳 Payments & Real-World Usage Expanding @MoonPay launched MoonAgents Card. → Spend stablecoins from self-custodial wallets. → AI agents included. @meta enabling USDC payments on Solana. → Creators in Colombia & Philippines. @tryramp momentum continues. → Fiat ↔ stablecoin rails. Clearest signal: Solana is becoming a real payment layer, not just DeFi. ⸻ 🧩 DeFi, Yield & Market Structure Evolving @humafinance x @perena. → Stablebanking + structured yield converging. @humidifi launched Aquarium. → Transparent onchain market making. @Axis_pizza live. → Build custom onchain ETFs. Keep the MEV. @Jito_sol shipped BAM Maker Plugin. → Better AMM execution. @onrefinance x @kamino. → Bigger incentives. 3x points on OnRe. DeFi is becoming structured, transparent, and incentivized. ⸻ 🤖 AI, Infra & New Primitives @triton_one x @SolanaFndn. → Rebuilding Solana's read layer. @Arcium x @solflare. → New RTGs live ahead of TGE. @ExponentFinance raised $5M. → Led by @multicoin. @benchdotgames live. → Arcium-powered. Infra and AI layers keep compounding quietly. ⸻ 📱 Ecosystem, Culture & Growth @solana Accelerate kicking off in Miami. → Major global event. @solanamobile promo. → Seeker BOGO with $SKR. @Pumpfun launched Charity Coins. → Memecoins funding real causes. @sanctumso = only top protocol growing TVL post-hacks. @megaeth listed on Solana via @sunrisedefi. Community + experimentation still strong. ⸻ ⚙️ Markets, Leadership & Industry Moves @Collector_Crypt: → $165M volume → $85M revenue @ZeusNetworkHQ acquired. → Moving away from Solana. Leadership changes: → @solstrategies CTO stepping down → Printr CEO transition + refunds Ecosystem is maturing. Not everything stays. Not everything wins. ⸻ 📌 What This Week Showed Solana is navigating a complex phase: → Security pressure reshaping the landscape → RWAs & institutions scaling to new highs → Payments going mainstream (Meta, MoonPay) → DeFi becoming structured & transparent → Infra + AI building beneath the surface ⸻ Solana keeps doing the same thing: Taking hits. Shipping anyway. Coming back stronger. 🫡

What’s next? For Astarter, advancing the development of multi-chain Bitcoin is only the beginning, and meaningful infrastructure takes time to mature. Establishing durable standards for cross-network and achieving real usage across different environments requires long-term alignment between builders, capital, and users. The goal is to enable a more unified and accessible Bitcoin-powered financial system.
