Zest Protocol
Announcements
Zest Protocol is the DeFi protocol built for Bitcoin. Fully on-chain and open-source, it is building the future of Bitcoin finance.
We’ve launched Stacks Market, enabling users to unlock liquidity by borrowing against their assets.
Live on Stacks—the leading Bitcoin Layer 2—Zest is now the top DeFi protocol on the network with total deposits and borrowing activity peaked at $100M+ and ~$10M respectively.
Through the Stacks Market, users can deposit idle assets such as STX, sBTC, stSTX, USDC, and others to earn yield, accumulate points, and access overcollateralized loans.
Zest exists to make Bitcoin productive, every sat of it. The goal is to build a vibrant borrowing and lending ecosystem around Bitcoin as an asset.
About Chainlink
Chainlink is the industry-standard oracle platform bringing the capital markets onchain and powering the majority of decentralized finance (DeFi). The Chainlink stack provides the essential data, interoperability, compliance, and privacy standards needed to power advanced blockchain use cases for institutional tokenized assets, lending, payments, stablecoins, and more. Since inventing decentralized oracle networks, Chainlink has enabled tens of trillions in transaction value and now secures the vast majority of DeFi.
Many of the world's largest financial services institutions have also adopted Chainlink's standards and infrastructure, including Swift, Euroclear, Mastercard, Fidelity International, UBS, ANZ, and top protocols such as Aave, GMX, Lido, and many others. Chainlink leverages a novel fee model where offchain and onchain revenue from enterprise adoption is converted to LINK tokens and stored in a strategic Chainlink Reserve.
