Every middleman bot asks you to trust someone with your money. Zeus doesn’t.
The payment goes straight from buyer to seller. Both sides post a small
bond into an immutable contract that exists only to adjudicate a dispute.
Nobody — not Zeus, not the server owner, not a bank — holds the principal.
/deal new— pick a counterparty, an amount and a template. A modal opens
with editable terms already filled in./deal agree— the counterparty accepts. This is what creates the bonded
deal and opens a private thread./deal bond— each side gets a signing link and posts their bond./deal paid— the buyer pays the seller directly and records the reference./deal deliver— the seller declares delivery and a visible review window
starts./deal approvesettles instantly. Silence auto-settles when the window
expires. Both bonds come back either way.
If it goes wrong, /deal dispute puts it to a randomly drawn arbitrator.
The loser forfeits their bond to the winner, so frivolous disputes and vapour
deliveries both cost real money.
/deal — new · agree · bond · paid · deliver · approve ·
dispute · status · arbitrator · cancel · help · faq · terms ·
templates
/arb — faq · list · register · review (plus operator subcommands
for the panel)
/wallet — link · status · unlink
/rep — on-chain deal reputation for any user
Start with /deal help. Every help surface is ephemeral — nothing gets
posted into a busy channel.
- No custody. Zeus only observes payment references. It never holds funds.
- No admin keys. The contract has six invariants: bonds only, outflows only
to client/provider/fee-switch, no admin keys, permissionless settle,
module-gated rulings, bond conservation. - Minimal permissions. View Channel, Create Private Threads, Send Messages
in Threads. No Message Content intent, no member list, no role management. - Real paperwork. Each deal renders a Bonded Engagement Agreement
(England & Wales under the UKJT Digital Dispute Resolution Rules) whose
SHA-256 is anchored in the contract. - Reputation that travels. Every terminal state writes an append-only
attestation per address, queryable with/rep.
5% of principal, charged on the bond pool, split 4% Zeus / 1% arbitrator.
Cancelling before delivery is free. Minimum deal $150.
Deals settle in real USDC on Polygon. The contracts are unaudited
and this is disclosed in every message the bot renders. Zeus is not a bank, an
escrow agent or a money transmitter. Deal categories that breach Discord’s own
rules — account sales, Nitro and platform currency, regulated goods — are
blocked at the protocol layer and will be refused.
