Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) interoperability layer Zeus Network (ZEUS) raised $8 million in a seed funding round led by Mechanism Capital, OKX Ventures, Animoca Ventures, Lemniscap, The Spartan Group, and Big Brain Holdings with participation from angel investors from Solana, Stacks, and Mechanism Capital. With this latest investment, the company’s valuation reached $100 million. The funds raised will be allocated towards the development and preparation for the project’s mainnet launch.
Operating as an interoperability layer on the Solana Virtual Machine, Zeus Network facilitates connections between Solana and other blockchains like Bitcoin, Litecoin, and Dogecoin. It primarily focuses on integrating Bitcoin through its decentralized application (dApp), Apollo. It aims to introduce Bitcoin liquidity to Solana and provide Bitcoin holders access to dApps on the Solana network.

Zeus Network anticipates launching the mainnet in early summer.
