This is the reason @ZestProtocol keeps landing the right partners.
Institutions have stopped asking how to fit into DeFi.
They ask on-chain finance to automate into what they already do. Zest Protocol founder @TychoOnnasch on how Bitcoin Collateral Vaults are built for this shift.

congrats to @0xPredicate on the raise!
their team helped us with participant verification and eligibility for both $FOLD auctions. really appreciated working with them throughout the process.
We are thrilled to announce our $8M Series A to connect regulated markets to onchain finance.
Predicate enables digital assets to reach every market compliantly. We do this by embedding compliance controls directly into digital assets to block high-risk and sanctioned activity at every transaction.
To date, Predicate has:
- Screened $1B+ in transaction volume
- Evaluated 6M+ transactions against custom compliance policies
- Blocked 100K+ non-compliant transactions
The round was led by @bcap with participation from @Paxos, @1kxnetwork and @tribecap.

Week 6 of the Arc Accelerator Program, led by @sohkai, was a very insightful and enjoyable session on fundraising for startups.
It covered how to effectively engage with investors, grants teams, and ecosystem partners when building in programmable money and onchain financial infrastructure, with valuable insights for teams building on @arc.

The best swap experience on @Stacks just got better
New on Zest Protocol Stacks Swap: large swaps no longer have to squeeze through one pool.
Zest Protocol Stacks Swap can split a big trade into multiple swaps that run side by side in one transaction.
Here's why that matters. An AMM pool prices every trade off its own reserves. The bigger your order, the further the price moves against you.
Split the order across two routes and each pool only takes part of it. Each price moves a shorter distance, so the combined output beats the best single route.
On every quote, the router checks hundreds of pools across @bitflow, @ALEXLabBTC and all other DEXes on Stacks. When no direct pool has the best price, a route automatically split the swap over multiple pools for best execution.
Zest swap only splits when it pays off after fees. Big trades are where splitting makes the biggest difference.
Users see the minimum received before signing, and if the trade can't hit it, the whole swap reverts.
Best execution on Stacks, with Zest Protocol Swap.
Quick reminder for anyone still on v1, don’t leave it till the last minute.
Clear your aeUSDC loans and move over to USDCx on v2 before Friday.
Things are happening so fast in the @stacks ecosystem..

Why Zest Protocol.

I backed Zest Protocol because this team has been building on Bitcoin longer than almost anyone, and they know how to ship great products with amazing user experience. Seeing real Bitcoin collateral working on mainnet, with the coins never leaving Bitcoin, is something I’m incredibly excited about.

8.3M+ STX is queued to enter the Stacking DAO native pool at the next cycle.
That takes native staking on Stacking DAO to 55M+ STX, up from 47M a week ago. The pool charges 0% fees and pays BTC rewards every cycle.
