About
Zest Protocol is a DeFi lending and liquidity protocol built for Bitcoin, live since 2023 on the Stacks Layer 2 network. Users deposit BTC to earn yield (~1.5% APY) or borrow stablecoins like USDCx and USDh against sBTC, STX, and other Stacks assets, with risk-isolated markets and soft liquidations to minimize slippage. The protocol has processed over 800 BTC in deposits and 1,500+ liquidations with zero bad debt, and is expanding with self-custodial Bitcoin Collateral Vaults powered by BitVM. Zest Protocol was founded in 2022 by Tycho Onnasch and Fernando Foy.
