Zest Protocol has launched its levered Bitcoin staking vault, zvstBTC, on the Stacks network, aiming to increase Bitcoin staking yields to 6-8% APY by using an automated leveraged staking loop. Users deposit Bitcoin assets like stBTC or BTC, which are then used as collateral to borrow and restake, amplifying returns beyond the base 2.6% APY from stBTC alone. The vault caps initial deposits at 10 BTC to manage risk while testing the strategy. This product offers a competitive yield compared to Ethereum staking options and leverages Stacks' direct settlement on Bitcoin’s base layer, appealing to investors focused on trust and security. Zest’s lending market has shown strong performance with no bad debt since March 2024, adding credibility to this new vault.
Zest Protocol's new levered Bitcoin staking vault on Stacks is launching as of September 18, 2026.
