Zest Protocol has launched a capped mainnet demonstration for its Bitcoin Collateral Vaults, allowing users to deposit real BTC directly on Bitcoin L1 and borrow USDC without wrapping or bridging. This self-custodial system keeps BTC in individual vaults on Bitcoin, with borrowing managed via proofs on EVM chains. The demo uses real BTC and USDC but limits collateral per wallet while undergoing audits before full production. This innovation aims to turn Bitcoin from idle assets into productive capital with reduced counterparty risk, backed by experienced developers and investors like Tim Draper.
