December 13, 2025 — Following the official launch of the new integrated Zeus App on December 9, Zeus Network announced its next phase of development roadmap at Solana Breakpoint 2025.
In his keynote address, Justin Wang, CEO and founder of Zeus Network, formally introduced Zeus's institutional-grade MPC infrastructure, designed specifically for Bitcoin and UTXO native assets. Using Solana as the execution layer, this architecture aims to drive the formation of a new generation of on-chain capital markets. Zeus will focus on providing scalable custody and execution solutions tailored to the specific needs of professional institutions holding or holding Bitcoin and other UTXO assets.
Justin Wang pointed out that Zeus is moving further down from the application layer to the underlying infrastructure, making up for the key gap that BTCFi has long lacked. This gap is the custody and signature infrastructure that can simultaneously meet the needs of the UTXO ecosystem and the native execution of Solana, thus fully unleashing the potential of Bitcoin and UTXO assets to enter the on-chain capital market.
From integrated applications to UTXO infrastructure
Earlier this week, Zeus announced the integration of its three major products—APOLLO, btcSOL, and Zeus Delegator—into a single platform, the Zeus App. Users can now manage zBTC minting, yield earning, staking, and delegation rewards all within a single interface, significantly simplifying the user experience.
This integration marks a significant milestone for Zeus in the development of BTCFi. Over the past year, Zeus has successfully integrated Bitcoin liquidity into the Solana DeFi ecosystem, with the highest on-chain Bitcoin liquidity deployment reaching 513 BTC, establishing Zeus as a core component of Solana's productive Bitcoin infrastructure.
Breakpoint 2025 is a brand new starting point built on this foundation.
Justin Wang stated that the Zeus App serves as an entry point for general users, while in the next phase, Zeus will shift its focus to holding or storing Bitcoin and other UTXO assets, and targeting professional institutional clients with a high level of interest in these assets. By addressing key issues related to custody and native execution of UTXOs, Zeus aims to enable Bitcoin and various UTXO assets to truly scale on Solana and fully unlock their yield potential in the on-chain capital market.
Key Bottlenecks in Institutional Custody
As adoption increases, Zeus observes a clear limitation: most Bitcoin and UTXO native assets remain idle for long periods due to high costs, closed systems, difficulty in integration, and custody systems not designed for UTXO signatures or Solana native execution.
Justin Wang points out that BTCFi will find it difficult to truly reach institutional scale until this level is completely restructured.
To this end, Zeus is developing a native MPC framework for UTXOs, designed specifically for Bitcoin and other UTXO ecosystems. The goal is to achieve secure, non-custodial vault management, multi-chain UTXO asset transfer, and permissionless interaction with Solana DeFi without sacrificing institutional-grade security standards. This will further enable institutions to transform their idle Bitcoin and UTXO assets into interest-bearing capital that can participate in on-chain yields within a controllable risk and compliance framework.
Institutional-grade UTXO infrastructure blueprint
In his keynote speech, Justin Wang systematically explained Zeus's long-term technical architecture vision:
- The Zeus App, as a user-level application, provides an experience for Bitcoin minting, yield management, and asset operations.
Zeus UTXO MPC, as the institutional layer, is responsible for secure custody and programmable UTXO asset liquidity.
Solana, as the execution layer, provides high speed, composability, and deep on-chain liquidity.
This architecture aims to enable Bitcoin, and eventually all major UTXO assets, to fully integrate into modern capital markets and unleash their productivity.
Future development direction and vision
With the official launch of the Zeus App, Zeus has moved from the product integration phase to a broader ecosystem expansion. The focus going forward will be on building MPC tools and providing support for developers to drive the creation of more UTXO native applications on Solana.
