Today last year, @Stacks TVL was $91M, and the STX price was $0.70. Today, TVL has grown by 33.7%+ to $123M, even as price declined. Over the weekend, I took my time to take what I call a “progress snapshot.” Here’s what I found 🧵

$ZEST is now listed on @kucoincom Futures with up to 10x leverage.

Bitcoin is the largest idle asset in the world. I backed Zest Protocol because they're the team putting BTC to work. BTC-backed lending is a trillion dollar market and @ZestProtocol has the track record to win it.

@ZestProtocol @TimDraper Zest has made a big impact in the bitcoin economy! 🍊🧡

$1.5T in BTC sits idle. Borrowing against it without giving up custody changes that. Zest Protocol lead investor @TimDraper on what the team means for the Bitcoin economy.

Finally, $ZEST is no longer an experiment, it’s now live. If you’re reading this, $ZEST tokens are already being distributed and traded. The launch comes with a vesting approach designed to ensure controlled, long-term trust and protection for the community. This means the tokens are released gradually over time rather than all at once. It starts with 145–146M $ZEST in circulation, with more unlocking over time as the protocol grows.

I’ve been keeping an eye on $ZEST since launch on @LunarCrush, and it’s not slowing down. A few examples of the top metrics off the top of my head: 🔶 $ZEST mentions hit 1342 which is 156% higher than its daily average. 🔶 $ZEST engagements hit 1M which is 150% higher than its daily average. 🔶 Creators hit 707 which is 136% higher than its daily average.

$ZEST is also trending on well-known crypto tracking platforms: 🍊 #10 trending token on @Dexscreener in the last 16 hours. 🍊 #6 trending token on @CoinMarketCap in the past 24 hours. 🍊 #10 trending token on @CoinGecko in the past 24 hours. This means traders and investors are discovering and watching $ZEST. The attention is there, the eyes are there, and now @ZestProtocol is too.

You’ve seen me tweet a lot about what $ZEST is. This time, let’s talk about where it’s listed: First, $ZEST is not limited to only the Stacks ecosystem. $ZEST is listed on several top centralized exchanges: @Binance Alpha, @kucoincom, @Gate, @MEXC, @HTX_Global, @Bitflow, and @Aster_DEX. Does this mean $ZEST is now tradable globally? Largely, yes.

First, a little refresher in case you forgot. $ZEST is the native token of @ZestProtocol. This means every $ZEST holder has the opportunity to participate in governance and incentives as its utility evolves over time. As I’m writing this thread, $ZEST is already trading on exchanges. When you hold $ZEST, you can think of it as a long-term participation token in Bitcoin DeFi.

If you’re reading this, the $ZEST Season 1 airdrop is live. With a total supply of 1 billion $ZEST, over 145M tokens are currently in circulation at launch. To put this into perspective, that’s about 14.5–14.6% of the total supply. However, circulating supply is only one side of the story. 🧵

GM legends! I just opened CT today and saw some of my favorite sights: the @ZestProtocol’s countdown and the platforms featuring it. It’s interesting how the $ZEST countdown is going down while Bitflow and other major CEXs are showing up: @binance, @Gate and @kucoincom Is this the airdrop everyone talks about?
