Zest Protocol is an on-chain lending platform designed for Bitcoin.

It raised $3.5 million in a seed round with investments from Draper VC, Binance Labs, and other notable backers.

Zest Protocol has introduced a points-based Airdrop mechanism to quantify and reward user contributions. Users earn 1 point for every $1 supplied to Zest Protocol per day.

Users can earn points through two methods:

1.  Supplying stSTX: This method grants 50% more points and an additional airdrop from @stackingdao . On the downside it will cost more Gas fee.
    
2.  Supplying USDC: This option is safer and costs less Gas fee. (Recommended)
    

You can choose either method based on your risk preference and goals.

Adding Funds on Xverse Wallet: (Regardless of the method you choose, this step is required for both.)

\-> Setup Wallet:

[https://www.xverse.app/download](https://www.xverse.app/download)

\-> Add STX on your wallet.

\-> Copy Stacks Address.

\-> Send STX from Binance or any other exchange.

Note: Receiving your STX in your Xverse wallet may take a few hours, so don't worry if there is a delay.
