System Architecture

Our platform streamlines the process of earning yield on your Bitcoin through Solana’s DeFi ecosystem. Here’s a breakdown of how the system functions and how each component fits together:

Layer/Component	Description
User	Interacts via browser and wallet signer.
Front-end	Built with Next.js and Tailwind for UI/UX.
AI Engine	Uses Anthropic Claude for chat analysis and recommendations.
Bridge Layer	Zeus Bridge handles BTC-to-zBTC conversion between Bitcoin and Solana.
AMM Integration	Supports Raydium, Orca, Meteora for LP operations on Solana.
Supported Chains	Bitcoin and Solana.

Where Does Zeus Bridge Fit?

Zeus Bridge is the core cross-chain protocol enabling secure, permissionless movement of BTC from the Bitcoin network to Solana as zBTC.

How Zeus Bridge Works (Simplified):

1. Deposit BTC: The user initiates a BTC deposit request via the platform (using Hypebiscus as the interface). BTC is sent to a dedicated “Hot Reserve” Taproot address on Bitcoin.

2. Transaction Validation:

   • ZeusNode Operator collects deposit requests and proposes transactions.

   • ZeusNode Guardian validates and signs these proposals.

   • BTC is then locked in the “Cold Reserve” for maximum security.

3. Minting zBTC on Solana: Once BTC is securely locked, the system mints an equivalent amount of zBTC on Solana and stores it in a vault.

4. Claim zBTC: The user claims zBTC on Solana, which can now be used in DeFi protocols (e.g., LPs on Raydium, Orca, Meteora).

5. Withdrawal (Reverse Process): To move back to Bitcoin, the user returns zBTC to the vault, submits a withdrawal request, and the system unlocks BTC from the Cold Reserve, sending it back to the user’s Bitcoin address.

In summary: Zeus Bridge acts as a permissionless, trust-minimized middleware between Bitcoin and Solana, ensuring BTC is locked on Bitcoin before zBTC is minted on Solana. This makes zBTC a fully-backed, 1:1 representation of BTC, ready for use in Solana DeFi.

This architecture guarantees security, transparency, and seamless cross-chain interaction for all users.

End-to-End Flow

1. User selects investment style and chats with the AI for tailored LP recommendations.

2. If needed, BTC is bridged to Solana using Zeus Bridge (via Hypebiscus integration).

3. User receives zBTC and can deploy it with one click into the recommended liquidity pool.

4. Earnings and portfolio can be tracked and managed directly within the platform.

This architecture ensures a secure, efficient, and user-friendly experience for maximizing Bitcoin yield in the Solana ecosystem.
