Zest Protocol has introduced a capped mainnet demo for its Bitcoin Collateral Vault, allowing users to deposit real Bitcoin into self-custodial vaults on Bitcoin's native chain and borrow USD Coin (USDC) without wrapping or bridging. This marks the first full public deployment of their vault infrastructure, which operates on Bitcoin L1 and uses Bitcoin Virtual Machine proof verification. The demo is currently limited per wallet pending external audits, with plans for a broader rollout involving institutional partners. This innovation enables Bitcoin holders to use their BTC as productive capital while keeping it secure on the original blockchain.
