Zest Protocol has launched a 90-day incentive program on the Stacks blockchain, running from September 10 to December 10, 2026. The platform is distributing STX tokens equivalent to 3 BTC in total to users who supply sBTC or borrow USDCx.
The rewards are divided equally between sBTC suppliers and USDCx borrowers. Suppliers are tracked via daily on-chain snapshots, while borrowers must maintain a minimum 20% time-weighted loan-to-value ratio. For sBTC suppliers, the program provides an additional 0.6% APY.
Operating since March 2024, Zest Protocol has reached a peak total value locked exceeding $100 million. The platform currently supports assets including sBTC, STX, stSTX, and USDCx, and features partial liquidation mechanisms.
This initiative is part of the broader Stack Sats program. The protocol aims to build liquidity ahead of upcoming product releases, specifically leveraged Bitcoin staking vaults.
