What is Zeus Network?
Zeus Network is a permissionless communication layer built to bridge the gap between Solana and Bitcoin. Focusing on decentralization, the network maintains independent security on each chain for enhanced asset protection. This approach aims to bring Bitcoin's liquidity to the Solana ecosystem, bolstering DeFi capabilities.
Zeus Network's ambitions extend beyond a single blockchain. In a previous interview with SolanaFloor, the founder outlined a plan for Zeus Network to become the go-to execution layer for blockchains without smart contracts. This strategy has the potential to revolutionize cross-chain liquidity for assets on networks like Litecoin, Dogecoin, and Stacks (Bitcoin layer 2).
