Support Zeus
Zeus is an open-source .NET framework for industrial host applications, communication channels, protocol integration, and desktop UI binding. Your support helps keep protocol modules maintained, documentation practical, issues fixed, and field-tested patterns available to other users.
Individual Sponsorship
Individual sponsorship is for developers, users, and teams that want to support ongoing open-source maintenance.
Current support options:
| Option | Notes |
|---|---|
| GitHub Sponsor button | The repository Sponsor button links to this page |
| Afdian | afdian.com/a/zeusnet |
| WeChat / Alipay | Scan the QR codes below |
| QQ group | Join the community and contact the maintainer |
Individual sponsorship does not buy a support SLA and does not reserve specific feature work. Clear reproductions, well-scoped requests, and changes that help many users will still get the most attention.
WeChat / Alipay
If you prefer domestic payment methods, expand the QR code you want to use. The QR codes stay collapsed by default so they do not interrupt the page flow.

Commercial Support
If Zeus is already used in your project, or you need clearer delivery boundaries, commercial support can be discussed separately.
Good topics for commercial support include:
- New protocol modules or vendor-specific protocol adapters
- Serial, TCP, PLC, and instrument field debugging
- WinForms / WPF host application integration
- Point maps, acquisition, alarms, and history binding design
- Long-term maintenance, version pinning, or issue response for internal projects
Commercial support is separate from sponsorship. Commercial work can define scope, deliverables, response channels, and pricing; sponsorship simply supports open-source maintenance.
Use of Funds
Sponsorship is prioritized for:
- Maintaining
Zeus.Communications, Modbus, Mitsubishi MC, Siemens S7, Omron FINS, Omron Host Link, EtherNet/IP, and related modules - Adding realistic device and virtual-device integration examples
- Improving documentation, troubleshooting guides, and NuGet release workflow
- Expanding tests to reduce protocol and communication regressions
- Keeping the project maintainable over time instead of only adding one-off features
