ZEUS is mobile bitcoin lightning for Android and iOS. It lets you spin up a self-custodial lightning wallet on your phone, or connect to a remote node that you may have at home (Umbrel, Start9, RaspiBlitz, myNode etc.) or in the cloud (Voltage).

You can onboard to lightning with ease using our LSP, or open up lightning channels on your own to anyone you want on the network. The app also feature a self-custodial lightning address (ZEUS Pay), a Nostr-powered contact book, a standalone and Square-integrated point of sale system, and countless other features.

It's 100% free and open source software.

If you like the app, leave a positive review on the app store! Positive reviews increase visibility on the store and help us get more users.

If you're a coder we could always use more code contributors and reviews of our open pull requests. Almost 50 people have contributed so far. Let's get to 100!

Not everyone can code. That's OK, you can still have a massive impact. Let us know if you find a bug, have an idea for a new feature, or have any feedback.

If you have a Github account consider throwing us a star. It improves our visibility on GitHub and helps attract new coders to the project.

We're trying to make ZEUS accessible to everyone in the world. Join our 100+ translators and help add or review translations. There are a ton of languages we've started on but need to complete.

ZEUS is a powerful but often complex tool - with many ways to use it (we have both a built-in, embedded node + wallet, and also support remote connections). We need a lot more help on our docs to help newcomers get started and get connected to the Lightning Network with ZEUS.

OLYMPUS by ZEUS is our LSP, and is quickly climbing up the lightning node rankings. You can buy a channel from us in the app using wrapped invoices and just-in-time channels that will onboard you to lightning without the hassle of manually opening up channels. Just pay an invoice generated in ZEUS from any other lightning wallet and you're onboarded in seconds.

The LSP now also works in-app with remote LND nodes, so you can get these just-in-time channels from us if you're using a remote or cloud node.

More LSP services will be launching soon, so keep your eyes peeled.

We have a bunch of different merch options available for purchase with Bitcoin on our store.

We think the designs are pretty good, and they're opsec-friendly too, so you don't have to worry too much about those $15 wrench attacks.

Those who donate over 100k sats get featured on our About page on our website and in our app. You can also donate anonymously. No amount is too small. Proceeds go towards development and bounties to help make the ZEUS app even better.

Lastly, and most importantly, be sure you continue use Bitcoin and help onboard other people to the network. Let your friends know not only about ZEUS, but also about Bitcoin, the Lightning Network, and the importance of running your own node and of holding your own keys.

We're going to win with strength in numbers. Orange pilling can be exhausting - both to the shillers and newcomers - so instead of just jumping into what's so great about Bitcoin, take the time within your community to shake hands with local merchants and the people you buy your food from and actually listen to the problems they have and try to empathize with them. Then you'll surely be able to identify at least one way Bitcoin can help them in our current environment that's rife with inflation, surveillance, censorship, and financial predation.

This not only helps ZEUS but also helps fortify the Bitcoin community.

Thanks for reading. We appreciate every bit of support, no matter how you decide to provide it.

Cheers.
