Zeus Network is an infrastructure protocol designed to connect Solana with the rest of the blockchain ecosystem, enabling cross-chain communication and liquidity sharing through a novel implementation called Aphrodite. Built as a layer between Solana and Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)-compatible chains, Zeus Network focuses on fast, trust-minimized interoperability. Its flagship use case is wrapped Solana (solW), a tokenized representation of SOL that allows users to bring SOL into other ecosystems like Ethereum, Arbitrum, and more. Launched in 2024, Zeus Network leverages a permissionless oracle network that validates state changes between chains without relying on centralized bridges. Unlike traditional cross-chain systems that often depend on custodians or multisig wallets, Zeus uses decentralized verification and message-passing to secure the process of asset bridging and contract communication. This approach minimizes risk, increases transparency, and brings true composability to dApps across ecosystems. The native token, ZEUS, plays multiple roles in the network: it is used to pay fees, secure the network through staking, and participate in governance. Developers can integrate Zeus into their applications via the Aphrodite SDK, which simplifies the creation of cross-chain functionalities using Solana as a liquidity and execution hub. By bridging Solana's high throughput and low fees with the broader EVM world, Zeus Network aims to eliminate fragmentation in the blockchain space and create a unified layer of liquidity and communication for decentralized applications.
Zeus Network is a cross-chain infrastructure protocol that connects Solana with Ethereum and other chains through decentralized messaging and token bridging. It enables users to move assets like SOL across chains using wrapped representations and provides tools for developers to build cross-chain applications.
ZEUS tokens can be purchased on major crypto exchanges such as Kraken, Gate.io, OKX, HTX, and KuCoin. ZEUS tokens are also available for trading on Orca and Meteora, two major decentralized exchanges on the Solana network.
ZEUS tokens are SPL tokens on Solana and can be stored in Solana-compatible wallets such as Phantom, Solflare, or hardware wallets such as Ledger.
solW is a wrapped version of SOL created using Zeus Network's Aphrodite protocol. It allows users to bring their SOL to other blockchains like Ethereum or Arbitrum, where they can use it in DeFi applications. solW maintains a 1:1 value peg with SOL and can be minted and redeemed via Zeus-supported contracts.
Zeus uses a decentralized, oracle-based architecture for verifying messages and asset movements across chains. Unlike traditional custodial bridges, Zeus reduces reliance on trusted third parties and aims to create a fully decentralized and permissionless cross-chain layer.
Developers can integrate cross-chain functionality through the Aphrodite SDK, which allows applications to send and receive messages and tokens between Solana and EVM-compatible chains seamlessly.
The ZEUS token is used for transaction fees, staking to secure the protocol, and participating in governance decisions related to the network's future upgrades and integrations.
While the current primary focus is on fungible token bridging like solW, the infrastructure can theoretically support NFT transfers and more complex data messaging in future iterations.
Prediction market Polymarket currently places the odds of her receiving a pardon from U.S. President Trump at 20%.
Jerome Powell revealed a major shift to the central bank’s monetary policy framework during his Aug. 22, 2025, speech at the Jackson Hole.
The total value locked (TVL) in tokenized U.S. Treasuries has climbed back to its peak, hitting $7.42 billion on Aug. 23.
Following Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s dovish remarks at Jackson Hole, markets are bracing for a possible rate cut in September.
ETH, it would appear, was the biggest beneficiary of Powell’s comments on interest rates as it surged past the $4,800 mark with ease.
