Zest Protocol is a Bitcoin lending protocol. Zest Protocol operates on-chain and is open-source. The protocol strives to create a vibrant borrowing and lending ecosystem around BTC the asset.
Zest v2 introduces efficiency groups for granular risk pricing per asset combination, a hub-spoke architecture with market.clar as the central orchestrator, and collateral flexibility letting users choose between isolated (non-rehypothecated) or yield-bearing (rehypothecated) collateral based on their risk preferences.
