ZeusNode is officially live, and the $ZEUS Guardian Staking Program has been launched.
1. ZeusNode is a core infrastructure built on the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM), supporting ZeusLayer and establishing its role as Solana's Layer 1.5, enhancing Solana's liquidity through permissionless Bitcoin integration.
2. The primary mission of ZeusNode is to achieve seamless Bitcoin operations in Solana's high-speed environment, ensuring transaction integrity and compliance with the highest security standards for cross-chain assets.
3. ZeusNode operates with the collaboration of Operators and Guardians. Operators gather transaction proposals and submit them to Guardians for validation and signature, ensuring the security of the network and the smooth flow of Bitcoin liquidity into Solana.
4. ZeusNode offers two Guardian programs: Regular Guardians open to anyone willing to delegate $ZEUS and actively contribute to network security, while Institutional Guardians are tailored for large $BTC liquidity providers, allowing them to establish private Guardians to enhance asset management on Solana.
5. With the launch of ZeusNode Epoch 1, the delegation process began successfully with an initial 20,000:1 $ZEUS to $BTC ratio, initiating the first batch of Guardians. As the network evolves, more $ZEUS delegation slots will be gradually unlocked to enhance network security, maximize $BTC capacity, and pave the way for integrating other UTXO-based assets.
