Zest Protocol stands as the biggest Bitcoin lending platform, developed by the most enduring BTCFi team. It has support from Trust Machines, Tim Draper, and CZ’s Yzi Labs.

The group has created the most effective and sophisticated Bitcoin-centric lending system. Its Stacks market has operated for 2 years, holding $100M TVL and over 800+ BTC in deposits. Institutional liquidity providers actively use the service, which has processed 1,500+ liquidations without any bad debt. No other BTCFi team matches this history.

Distinct v2 Stacks market elements, such as risk groups, soft liquidations, and non-rehypothecated collateral, highlight this strength. Currently, Zest Protocol is constructing a groundbreaking lending market on Bitcoin L1. Participants lock BTC straight on the base layer to borrow stablecoins on EVM chains. This process involves no wrapping, bridging, or custodians, keeping the BTC on L1.

BTC-backed lending represents a trillion-dollar market characterized by winner-take-all dynamics. Liquidity serves as the moat and reinforces the advantage. Zest Protocol is building to win.
