    4. Cross-chain technologies, such as Zeus Network, are revolutionizing the way Bitcoin holders can use their coins within the DeFi ecosystem without transferring them. Users can now leverage their BTC on the native chain, enhancing their earning potential.

    Limited Bitcoin Capabilities

    Despite being the most widely used and valuable cryptocurrency, Bitcoin's functionality remains limited. Most investors choose to hold their coins rather than use them. Bitcoin lags behind smart contract-based and DeFi platforms in functionality, with blockchains like Ethereum and Solana leading the way. The primary reasons for limited opportunities include prioritizing security and decentralization over scalability, high transaction fees, and slow transaction times.

    Bitcoin's Lack of Interoperability Hinders Innovation

    Bitcoin developers have been working on expanding the native chain's capabilities, but the challenge of interoperability between different blockchains persists. Users face complexities when swapping Bitcoin to other variants on different chains, hindering the growth and development of Bitcoin in the DeFi ecosystem.

    Cross-Chain Technology As a Solution to Interoperability Issues

    Zeus Network is a cross-chain platform addressing Bitcoin's interoperability issues. The platform allows users to leverage the liquidity of BTC in the Solana ecosystem without transferring assets from the native chain. Transactions are proposed and stored on Solana and then broadcast to the Bitcoin blockchain. The platform comprises two components: Zeus Program Library (ZPL) and Zeus Layer, enabling assets from Bitcoin to become ZPL assets and be used in Solana.

    Cross-chain technologies like Zeus Network could be crucial in unifying the fragmented DeFi ecosystem around Bitcoin. These solutions may drive innovation, unlock liquidity, and support the overall growth of the crypto ecosystem. Although in their early stages, the future looks promising.
