APOLLO Mainnet v1 and zBTC: Permissionless Bitcoin Liquidity on Solana

As the flagship dApp of the Zeus ecosystem, APOLLO will officially launch on March 27 as the first Bitcoin Layer-1 trading platform on Solana. Its core asset, zBTC, is the first permissionless Bitcoin on Solana, aiming to redefine cross-chain Bitcoin liquidity and unlock new opportunities for BTCFi in the Solana ecosystem.

Prior to the official launch, APOLLO has demonstrated strong market appeal, with on-chain trading volume exceeding $36 million and 50 zBTC minted on Solana. These achievements validate APOLLO's ability to overcome the limitations of traditional wrapped Bitcoin solutions by providing a transparent, secure, trustless platform to bring Bitcoin liquidity to Solana.

APOLLO has now opened up its cross-chain liquidity services between Bitcoin and Solana to the public.

Building the BTCFi Ecosystem on Solana

BTCFi (Bitcoin Finance) refers to a decentralized finance service and application suite built using Bitcoin's security and liquidity.

Bitcoin holders have long relied on centralized wrapped Bitcoin solutions, facing challenges of transparency and risk. Therefore, zBTC provides a revolutionary alternative—a permissionless asset pegged 1:1 to Bitcoin, operating transparently on Solana.

With APOLLO's public launch on March 27, 2025, all traders can lock BTC to mint zBTC and redeem native BTC at any time. APOLLO will integrate zBTC into Solana's DeFi ecosystem, significantly enhancing Bitcoin liquidity and reshaping the BTCFi landscape. Users can also utilize zBTC to execute various DeFi strategies on Solana. As zBTC is integrated into various protocols, Bitcoin holders and liquidity providers will have more opportunities.

APOLLO and zBTC Use Cases:

· Trading – Swap zBTC via Jupiter

· Liquidity Provision – Provide liquidity on Meteora, HawkFi, and Raydium

· Lending (Coming Soon) – Enable zBTC lending/USDC borrowing through Drift and Save Finance

· Treasury Strategies (Coming Soon) – Deposit zBTC in Drift and Neutral Trade

APOLLO offers a completely decentralized environment where users do not need to undergo KYC verification like using centralized bridges or wrapped BTC issuers, and assets are not frozen or controlled. Additionally, the Bitcoin on-chain reserve proof system ZeusScan ensures full traceability of each transaction, demonstrating Zeus Network and APOLLO's commitment to security and transparency.

APOLLO: Bitcoin On-Chain Trading Platform

The upcoming features allow APOLLO users to customize their Bitcoin usage experience – mint zBTC, swap for cbBTC or wBTC, and redeem any version back to native BTC. These goals will validate the market demand for APOLLO efficiently managing Bitcoin liquidity. With the launch of APOLLO Mainnet v1 and zBTC, Zeus Network has not only redefined Bitcoin's role in DeFi but is also ushering in a new era of financial innovation.

Zeus Network Ecosystem Future Roadmap

Zeus Network will continue to solidify its multi-chain presence, planning to introduce UTXO model assets (DOGE, LTC, KAS) to Solana, onboard key institutional liquidity partners, and upgrade ZPL assets to enhance liquidity coverage. More Bitcoin dApps on Solana are set to be launched.
