Currently, to use Zeus, you must have a Bitcoin Lightning node running Lightning Network Daemon (lnd), eclair, or Core Lightning using the REST or Spark API.
You must provide Zeus with your node's hostname, port number, and the macaroon you choose to use in hex format. If you need help converting your macaroon to hex format we wrote up a Node.js script that can use
here. Alternatively, if you're running a Unix-based operating system (eg. macOS, Linux) you can run xxd -ps -u -c 1000 /path/to/admin.macaroon
to generate your macaroon in hex format.
Zeus has support for connecting to you node entirely over the Tor network. You can refer to these guides to set up a Tor hidden service on your lnd node. The instructions are generally interchangable and typically only require you to change your Tor path.

Zeus is proud to be integrated on the following platforms:
Don't trust, verify the code with your own two eyes. Then when ready proceed to the steps below based on your platform.
- install and setup react-native and its related dependencies under "Building Projects with Native Code" on react-native's Getting Started page
- if using your phone,
enable Developer mode and USB Debugging
, then make sure it is connected to your computer by running
adb devices
- install node dependencies with
npm i
- open up your Android simulator or connect your phone and run
npx react-native start
- open a new tab and run
npx react-native run-android
- install and setup react-native and its related dependencies under "Building Projects with Native Code" on react-native's Getting Started page
- install node dependencies with
npm i
cd ios && pod install
- open
ios/zeus.xcworkspace
in Xcode and hit Run. NOTE: if you're using an M1 mac, you may need to right click Xcode > get info > checkOpen using Rosetta
before openingzeus.xcworkspace
.
Please be sure to run npm run tsc
to check for type errors, npm run test
to run all tests, and npm run prettier
to run the prettier
If you are making cosmetic changes please test on both Android and iOS as things don't render exactly the same on both platforms.

Do not directly modify the files in /locales
unless you are adding new copy to the app in English. Instead, translators and reviewers should visit out Transifex page and request a role on the language you'd like to contribute to.
