Zest Protocol

Zest Protocol is the largest Bitcoin lending protocol, built by the longest running BTCFi team in existence with backing from Trust Machines, Tim Draper and CZ’s Yzi Labs.

Since then, the team built the most successful and technically advanced Bitcoin focussed lending protocol. Zest Protocol’s Stacks market has been 2 years in production, $100M TVL, 800+ BTC deposited, institutional LPs are actively using the platform, 1,500+ liquidations with zero bad debt. No other BTCFi team has this track record.

Zest Protocol’s unique v2 Stacks market features like risk groups, soft liquidations and non-rehypothecated collateral further underline this. Now Zest Protocol is building a revolutionary lending market on Bitcoin L1. Users lock BTC directly on the base layer and borrow stablecoins on EVM chains. No wrapping, no bridging, or custodians, the BTC stays on L1.

BTC-backed lending is a trillion-dollar market with winner-take-all dynamics. Liquidity is the moat and compounds the advantage. Zest Protocol is building to win.
