Both settlement layers, side by side.

Bitcoin provides decentralized settlement. Lightning connects peers through payment channels. ZEUS WALLET brings both layers into one desktop workspace, with visibility into your balances, payments and network connections.

Privacy by architecture

Less exposure, by design.

Keep more decisions on your device. Supported setups calculate routes locally, connect to nodes over Tor and hide sensitive figures in the interface. Your infrastructure choices shape what information you share.

Local routing

Routes are calculated on your machine, using your local view of the network.

Invoice wrapping

The payer does not need your node’s public key. The LSP still knows your node to forward the payment.

Taproot channels

Channel opens and cooperative closes can resemble ordinary Taproot spends.

Decentralized networks are not inherently anonymous. Bitcoin records are public, and Lightning peers and service providers can observe information related to their role.
