Zeus wallet released new version v0.9.0 with big changes, most important that hardware wallet and watch-only support was added.
Note that supported hardware wallets are  Passport, Coldcard, Seedsigner, Krux and Keystone, that can all be used for opening and closing channels.
I am not a fan on Lightning Network, but this is currently one of the best lightning wallets available.

At this point I think it's rational to say you deserve a wallet announcement badge because I've discovered countless wallets just via your topics. Anyways as for the Zeus wallet I think these features are worth trying just for educational purposes though.

How's their swap feature is it open source or actually closed source like most wallets do. I'm asking because I noticed most wallets with many of these features actually have those parts close sourced even if some of them are actually open source.

Judging by their interface, swaps are not developed by the Zeus team but are an integration of the Boltz service. Zeus simply adds its own markup on top of Boltz's fee, so instead of 0.5% it ends up being 0.6%.

That 0.1% additional fee is too little to be define as earning from that called referral but yeah its super user friendly rates considering its an instant swap.
And good thing the partnered swap exchange is open source although i just heard it, but it looks like they have already reputation and is already running for how many years already. Here's the new discussion of the swap exchange btw.

the new 13.0.0 version has been available since yesterday
this completely redesigned ZEUS wallet comes with a wide range of new features and countless ui improvements including:

• brand new node engine powered by ldk node
• device migration with channels intact
• a ground-up cashu rewrite

https://github.com/ZeusLN/zeus/releases/tag/v13.0.0

[internetional]

I've been looking closely at the new features Zeus implemented. It all sounds very appealing, for sure. Not many wallets offer channel recovery when moving to a new device. Off the top of my head, only Valet and Phoenix come to mind. And for mobile Lightning wallets, that's a much-needed feature.

However, I noticed the massive 0.5% fee Zeus charges for transfers. Has it always been like this, or is this something new that came along with the latest updates?

[satscraper]

Zeus has been elevated to v13.1.0. I would like to highligt that now  it extracts  token regardless of the wrapping URL format. Also it is worth to mention  that release enables the actual scanning in decoy-style QR scanner mode on Android,

Zeus v13.1.3 was released , adding support for LND v0.21.1-beta on both embedded and remote nodes.

Security Update - August 5th, 2026

ZEUS infrastructure is temporarily offline following a cybersecurity incident that occurred within the last few hours.
The attack has been mitigated. Out of an abundance of caution, we are keeping services offline while we conduct a comprehensive audit of all systems before restoring operations.
No customer funds were lost. No customer funds are at risk.

Zeus release was elevated to v. 13.2.0

It now supports 24 word seed phrases for LDK wallets and ships an updated built-in LND node. Also it is worth to mention that it allows to set your own custom mempool server for extra privacy, plus there's some general security hardening and a bunch of bug fixes .


UPD. v. 13.2.1 is the latest release as of September 2^nd, 2026/

[satscraper]

Latest Zeus wallet release, namely 13.2.2 is already in repository.

Heads up for iOS users using relevant devices.

 It seems that old versions were quietly syncing wallet data through iCloud keychain. So this update wipes that automatically.

I wonder if I would be able to open channels and not have them instantly close after one transaction - in the past, I spent 100k sats opening channels just to have each one close after a single transaction - got to be too expensive.

[satscraper]

Find the latest release for Zeus, namely 13.2.3.

 It’s mostly the security and cleanup release. It has the newer LND and LDK nodes with the huge volume of rust-lightning security fixes, plus the  bunch of checks so you can’t be tricked into paying the wrong invoice.
