Remote Connections and Integrations

For the most up-to-date guides on connecting ZEUS to your node, please visit our Remote Connections documentation.

Connecting ZEUS to your node

You can connect ZEUS to a remote Bitcoin Lightning node running Lightning Network Daemon (lnd) or Core Lightning.

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.

Tor Connection Guides

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 interchangeable and typically only require you to change your Tor path.
