Episode Details

Zeus Wallet, the self-custodial Bitcoin Lightning Network wallet, went offline abruptly after a cybersecurity incident—but no user funds were lost. Founder Evan Kaloudis confirmed the breach was contained to Zeus’s own infrastructure, not the Lightning node software, and they restored control within hours. Affected users can expect new channels once service resumes. The incident underscores critical security needs in crypto—even with self-custody, third-party services must be bulletproof. Zeus is now accelerating work on secure environments like trusted execution and the Validating Lightning Signer project, following similar moves by Boltz. No details on the attack or recovery timeline have been released yet, but the crypto community is watching closely.
