A BTC withdrawal requestZeusNode Operator collects withdrawal requests and proposes to unlockZeusNode Operator initiates the unlocking process on the Bitcoin blockchainZeusNode Guardian signs on the proposal of unlockingCindy receives BTC from the Cold ReserveOnce BTC is unlocked from Cold Reserve, the following steps will be processed on Solana: Finalize withdrawal requests after BTC is unlocked from Cold Reserve / Burn zBTC after BTC is unlocked from Cold ReserveGuardians of the ZeusNodeTo protect the integrity of this permissionless infrastructure, Zeus Network introduced the Guardians — signatories managed by multiple reputable institutions to ensure the system remains decentralized, secure, and efficient.This structure ensures that Guardians cannot manipulate the signing process or compromise the proposals they process, upholding the integrity of cross-chain interactions. By decentralizing control, this system safeguards both the assets and the network, allowing for secure, permissionless interaction between Solana and other blockchains.How Does Guardian Signing Work?In the ZeusNode model, each transaction proposal is signed by the Guardian which enables interactions between Bitcoin and Solana.Once a Guardian receives a transaction proposal from ZeusNode, they verify the status of both BTC and zBTC before invoking the ZPL (Zeus Program Library) to execute BTC lock zBTC mint or BTC unlock zBTC burn operations. This ensures a seamless and secure interaction between the two blockchains.ZeusNode Guardian Delegation: $ZEUS StakingDelegating $ZEUS to a ZeusNode Guardian supports both Solana and cross-chain liquidity. The more $ZEUS that is staked, the greater the liquidity from Bitcoin can flow in, enhancing the security of ZPL-assets.By staking $ZEUS to ZeusNode Guardians, holders get rewarded by actively contributing to Solana’s growth and helping secure cross-chain interactions.More details will be released close to mainnet beta launches, allowing any $ZEUS holder to participate in expanding Solana’s ecosystem.ZeusScan: The Bitcoin-Solana Interaction ExplorerTransparently scan Bitcoin-Solana interactions, track ZeusNode metrics, and monitor ZeusNode Guardian activities.ZeusScan is now live: https://zeusscan.io/Future of ZeusNodexyzBTC on Solana: Once BTC is on Solana, the ZeusNode infrastructure can support additional BTC standards, allowing multiple operators to bring their BTC to Solana.UTXO-based Blockchains: ZeusNode can read transactions on Bitcoin and other UTXO-based blockchains.Beyond Bitcoin: ZeusNode aims to facilitate interactions between Solana and other major blockchains, not just Bitcoin.ConclusionZeusNode empowers Solana by providing a secure, permissionless infrastructure for cross-chain interactions, starting with Bitcoin. The potential for multiple ZeusNodes to handle interactions from other blockchains, including different BTC standards and UTXO-based chains, showcases this system’s scalability and future readiness.ZeusNode will go live in Q4 2024,
