On May 21, 2025, the Zeus Network connects Bitcoin to the Solana blockchain using Chainlink’s CCIP and Proof of Reserve technologies. With this, users can now safely transfer Bitcoin using decentralized methods on various blockchains.
With Chainlink CCIP, users of Zeus Network can now effortlessly move zBTC — a 1:1 token representing Bitcoin — between Ethereum, Base and Solana. Every zBTC is backed up by real Bitcoin and you can trust this is true thanks to Chainlink’s verification feeds.
“As a result, the main problems with centralized wrapped Bitcoin are now solved,” said Justin Wang, CEO of Zeus Network. Thanks to Chainlink, users can securely keep their assets without the need for third parties or KYC verification.
The Importance of This
In the past, cross-chain bridges have been known to be less secure, since they are often managed by a central party and can be hacked. The 2022 hack of the Ronin Bridge which resulted in losing $650 million, made it clear that better security was needed.
Thanks to the CCIP, Zeus Network can now move Bitcoin liquidity in a safe, transparent and decentralized way. Because of this integration, more people can use Bitcoin in the Solana DeFi space to enjoy low-cost, speedy decentralized applications.
“zBTC can now function as a decentralized Bitcoin in DeFi on Solana and transfer across leading blockchains, according to Wang,” he said. Moving Bitcoin onto Solana is a major advance in boosting Bitcoin liquidity and bringing it to dynamic ecosystems.
CCIP on Chainlink Is Attracting Wider Attention
Zeus Network is one of the latest companies to use Chainlink’s cross-chain integration. In April, Ronin also transferred its bridge system to Chainlink CCIP, joining many others in adopting safer and standardized multi-chain technology.
What’s Next?
Zeus Network hopes to grow the use of zBTC in Solana DeFi protocols such as lending, yield farming and trading derivatives. Solana is expected to become a main source of decentralized Bitcoin liquidity as more developers connect with zBTC.
TL;DR:
Users can now transfer Bitcoin to the Solana platform using Zeus Network, with Chainlink’s CCIP and Proof of Reserve. This development provides real liquidity for Bitcoin on Solana, gives users a secure way to work with wrapped tokens and shows what cross-chain interoperability can do
