ZeusScan will offer real-time monitoring and management of ZPL assets on Solana, providing visibility, security, and specialized insights for asset tracking.

Similar to Jupiter’s JUP token, ZEUS tokens are utilized within the Zeus Network for various functions. The network, which used Jupiter’s launchpad for its token launch, enhances security as token holders can use ZEUS to bolster protective measures for transactions and interactions.

ZEUS tokens also facilitate access to services, including transaction fee payments, smart contract operations, and special feature access.
