Zeus Network announced that it will integrate the Chainlink Proof of Reserve (PoR) and Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) technologies. The integration will improve the network’s cross-chain capabilities, and Bitcoin reserves will have unprecedented transparency.
Chainlink’s CCIP integration will significantly increase Zeus Network’s expansion. Since its formal launch on the Solana Mainnet on May 19, 2025, CCIP has expanded to accommodate more than 57 blockchains, facilitating safe asset and data transfers between the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) and Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) ecosystems.
Additionally, it will use Chainlink’s Proof of Reserve technology to provide real-time verification of its fully collateralized Bitcoin reserves. Implementing PoR satisfies the increasing need for transparency in the cryptocurrency market, especially for wrapped assets that must remain pegged to the underlying asset at a 1:1 ratio.
With the use of Oracle networks, Chainlink’s PoR can instantly confirm that on-chain assets are completely supported by off-chain or cross-chain real-world assets. Thanks to Zeus Network, users can be assured that zBTC is adequately supported by real Bitcoin reserves.
By enabling automatic, near real-time reserve verifications, Chainlink PoR offers a tamper-proof record of each verification on-chain. This contrasts with typical audits that take place monthly or quarterly. Establishing long-term trust with stakeholders requires this degree of openness, particularly for institutional investors wishing to participate in the Bitcoin market.
Chainlink Tech Enhancing the Bitcoin DeFi Ecosystem
Zeus Network recently announced the acceptance of zBTC, creating a permissionless channel for Bitcoin deposits and withdrawals between Solana and Bitcoin. Chainlink’s technologies will further improve the network, enabling more advanced financial applications based on Bitcoin.
The network also plans to introduce new features that will further modularize Bitcoin liquidity in the coming months. For instance, APOLLO will soon enable users to swap between zBTC, cbBTC, and wBTC. It will enable them to withdraw any version back to native Bitcoin, thereby making it easier to manage Bitcoin positions across protocols and formats.
The possibilities are expanding with Solana, which is now connected to Arbitrum, Base, BNB Chain, Ethereum, Optimism, and Sonic via CCIP. The potential for cross-chain applications has never been greater.
