Stacks Suite overview
Zest Protocol on Stacks brings lending, automated yield strategies and token swaps into one product suite.
Zest Protocol is the DeFi superapp for Stacks. The three products below share one app at app.zestprotocol.com .
Stacks Market
Stacks Market is the lending market Zest Protocol has operated since March 2024. It has processed $100M+ in peak TVL over two years with zero bad debt and no BTC lost.
Users can supply Stacks assets such as sBTC, STX and stSTX to earn yield, or use them as collateral for overcollateralised loans.
Stacks Vaults
Stacks Vaults package automated yield strategies into single-deposit products. The vault manages the position, rebalancing and compounding for the user.
The first is the Levered Bitcoin Staking Vault. Its strategy posts stBTC as collateral on Zest Protocol, borrows sBTC against it, stakes the borrowed sBTC into more stBTC and repeats within its risk limits. The strategy targets 6–8% APY, depending on realised Bitcoin Staking yield, borrow rates, utilisation and risk parameters. Withdrawals are paid in stBTC.
Stacks Swap
Stacks Swap is a DEX aggregator for Stacks. It compares prices across supported DEXes, can split swaps across pools and routes through intermediate tokens when needed. Every swap settles atomically with onchain minimum-received protection.
Stacks Market V1
The first version of Stacks Market is retired. Its guides and contract reference stay published for anyone reading positions or integrations built on it.
