Zest V1

Description sourced from DeFiLlama's protocol metadata; teams submit their own copy when listing.

DeFiLlama publishes the exact rules used to aggregate on-chain balances into the headline TVL figure shown on this page. The methodology below is the team's own source-of-truth description.

counts the number of TAO/alpha tokens of the uni V2 pool.

If a contract or vault isn't in this list, its balance does not contribute to the TVL displayed on Mantapex or DeFiLlama.

Zest V1 is published as a versioned release inside the Zest protocol family. Releases inside the same family typically share governance, brand, and large parts of the audit history, but each version can run materially different contract logic — a release labelled v2 or v3 is not just a UI refresh. Newer versions inside a family typically launch with their own audit cycle and parameter set, so do not assume the previous release's safety record carries over without checking the linked audit reports.

Fork lineage and parent-protocol relationships are tracked by DeFiLlama for security and audit-history attribution; a fork inherits the upstream design but not necessarily the upstream audits or governance.

Zest V1 is a Lending protocol that lets users supply assets as collateral, borrow against them, and earn interest from borrowers paying variable or stable rates. It is deployed on Stacks. No public audit reports are listed on DeFiLlama for this protocol.

Zest V1 is a single-chain protocol, deployed exclusively on Stacks — this concentrates execution risk but simplifies the trust model. Roughly 100% of its on-chain value sits on just three networks (Stacks, Stacks-borrowed, borrowed), so a fault on any one of them would affect a large slice of users. Price discovery relies on 2 oracle providers (Pyth, DIA), which diversifies the data-feed surface but also expands the set of third parties users implicitly trust. No public audit reports are linked from DeFiLlama for this protocol despite a non-trivial TVL — treat any deposit as carrying material smart-contract risk.
