Zeus Unveils Institutional MPC Infrastructure Blueprint on Solana Breakpoint 2025, Unlocking Bitcoin to the Solana On-Chain Capital Markets
Source: Zeus
December 13, 2025—Following the official launch of the new integrated Zeus App on December 9, Zeus Network announced the next phase of development at Solana Breakpoint 2025.
During a keynote speech, Zeus Network CEO and Founder Justin Wang officially introduced the institution-grade MPC infrastructure being developed by Zeus. This architecture is specifically designed for Bitcoin and UTXO native assets, with Solana as the execution layer, aiming to drive the formation of the next-generation on-chain capital markets. Zeus will focus on professional institutions holding or custodying Bitcoin and other UTXO assets, providing scalable custody and execution solutions tailored to institutional needs.
Justin Wang pointed out that Zeus is moving from the application layer to the underlying infrastructure, filling a critical gap in BTCFi that simultaneously meets the needs of the UTXO ecosystem and Solana's native execution for custody and signing infrastructure. This will fully unleash the potential of Bitcoin and UTXO assets to enter the on-chain capital markets.
Transitioning from Integrated Applications to UTXO Infrastructure
Earlier this week, Zeus announced the integration of its three main products, APOLLO, btcSOL, and Zeus Delegator, into a single platform, namely Zeus App. Users can now complete zBTC minting, yield farming, staking, and delegation reward management all in the same interface, significantly streamlining the user experience.
This integration marks a significant milestone in Zeus's development within BTCFi. Over the past year, Zeus has successfully brought Bitcoin liquidity into the Solana DeFi ecosystem, with the peak on-chain deployed Bitcoin liquidity reaching 513 BTC, establishing Zeus as a core provider of Bitcoin productive infrastructure on Solana.
Breakpoint 2025 signifies a new starting point built on this foundation.
Justin Wang stated that Zeus App serves as an entry point for general users, and in the next phase, Zeus will shift its focus to institutions holding or custodying Bitcoin and other UTXO assets, as well as the professional institutional clients highly interested in this. By addressing the key issues of custody and UTXO native execution, Zeus aims to enable Bitcoin and various UTXO assets to truly operate at scale on Solana, fully unleashing their earning potential in the on-chain capital markets.
Institutional Custody Key Bottleneck
As adoption has increased, Zeus has observed a clear limitation where the majority of Bitcoin and UTXO-native assets remain idle for extended periods, constrained by high costs, closed systems, difficult integration, and not designed for UTXO signing or Solana-native execution.
Justin Wang pointed out that without a thorough rethinking at this level, BTCFi would find it challenging to truly scale to institutional levels.
To address this, Zeus is developing a UTXO-native MPC framework, specifically designed for Bitcoin and other UTXO ecosystems, with the goal of achieving secure, non-custodial vault management, multi-chain UTXO asset movement without compromising institutional security standards, and interaction with Solana DeFi in a permissionless manner. This will further enable institutions to convert idle Bitcoin and UTXO assets into interest-bearing capital that can participate in on-chain rewards within a controlled risk and compliance framework.
Institutional UTXO Infrastructure Blueprint
In his keynote address, Justin Wang systematically outlined Zeus's long-term technical architecture vision:
- Zeus App, as the user layer, providing Bitcoin minting, yield management, and asset operation experience
- Zeus UTXO MPC, as the institutional layer, responsible for secure custody and programmable UTXO asset flow
- Solana, as the execution layer, providing high speed, composability, and deep on-chain liquidity
This architecture aims to integrate Bitcoin and eventually extend to all mainstream UTXO assets, fully integrating into modern financial markets and unleashing productivity.
Future Development Directions and Vision
With the official launch of the Zeus App, Zeus has moved from the product integration phase to broader ecosystem expansion. The next focus will be on building MPC tools and providing support for developers to drive the emergence of more UTXO-native applications on Solana.
About Zeus
Zeus is a permissionless Bitcoin infrastructure dedicated to accelerating on-chain Bitcoin economics and applications. By transforming Bitcoin into programmable assets and introducing the Solana ecosystem, Zeus is laying the foundation for a secure and scalable Bitcoin financial system, unlocking the new DeFi application potential of trillions of dollars worth of assets.
