Infrastructure for bringing Bitcoin to Solana, Apollo is set to be the first application built on top of this Layer 1.5 solution. Apollo aims to demonstrate the potential of making Bitcoin programmable within the Solana ecosystem.Justin Wang describes Apollo's mission: "Apollo and the mission of Apollo is onboarding millions of Bitcoins through Solana." This application will allow users to deposit their Bitcoin and receive ZBTC on Solana, which can then be used in various DeFi applications such as lending, borrowing, and yield farming.The introduction of Apollo showcases the practical applications of Zeus's technology and opens up new possibilities for Bitcoin holders to participate in the rapidly growing Solana DeFi ecosystem. This could potentially unlock billions of dollars worth of Bitcoin liquidity for use in decentralized finance applications.Why Choose Solana for the Communication Layer?The decision to build Zeus on Solana was not made lightly. Justin Wang and his team carefully evaluated various blockchain platforms before settling on Solana as the ideal foundation for their Layer 1.5 solution.Wang explains the rationale behind this choice: "Obviously, there's a reason why we stayed in the law for almost five years already is that every year, there's always better chain with faster TPS, but the chain that has been constantly going through a stress test, constantly going through battles. And it has the best social economics, social communities. I think that those are the chains that you want to build up."Solana's proven track record of handling high transaction volumes, low costs, and a vibrant developer ecosystem made it the perfect choice for Zeus. The blockchain's ability to process thousands of transactions per second at minimal cost aligns perfectly with Zeus's goal of creating a seamless and efficient bridge between Bitcoin and smart contract platforms.Moreover, Wang sees a natural synergy between Bitcoin and Solana: "I think if there has to be one layer that has to be interred with Solana, it has to be a Bitcoin has to be Solana. You know, if they had their own chance, last cycles that would be VCs, rent, BTC, all these like so-called like communication there, they were trying to do a similar was a lot of those. They couldn't pull it off."This vision of combining Bitcoin's store of value properties with Solana's high-performance smart contract capabilities could potentially create a powerful new paradigm in the blockchain space.The Future of Cross-Chain CommunicationZeus Network's approach to cross-chain communication opens up a world of possibilities for the future of blockchain interoperability. By enabling Bitcoin and other UTXO-based assets to become programmable on Solana, Zeus is paving the way for more integrated and functional decentralized applications.Justin Wang envisions a future where multiple proof-of-work chains can interact seamlessly with Solana through the Zeus
