rt if you like earning yield on bitcoin

Over 75,000 $STX transacted through a platform that began as a tiny idea. The best part? the value flows to the people who make a real impact & content In the future, people will use @zeroauthdao to bridge their reputation on popular platforms, and will never know. @hodlstx

This hits different when you realize each STX stacked through an LST represents someone choosing liquidity and yield, not one at the expense of the other. @StackingDao is doing something right.

As important as that sounds, deposits are just the first signal of confidence. The next and most important step is turning that liquidity into productive capital. And that is where @ZestProtocol comes in.

In other news, STX supply has expanded fast in recent weeks. More tokens in circulation, more liquidity in staking pools, more participants positioning for yield. It is pretty obvious that liquidity is settling where conviction is strongest.

Nearly 20 million STX are now deposited on @ZestProtocol. A clear reflection of trust in collateral quality, safety, and in Zest’s consistent execution over time. Beyond Zest and @Stacks, this is one of the clearest signals yet that BTCFi is progressing as should.

Gm The best time to earn yield on Stacks was yesterday. The next best is today Thinking of where to start? @StackingDao and @ZestProtocol are solid picks.

You already know who gives you the best BTC yield on your STX.

When @ZestProtocol talks about prioritizing safety and trust, this is what it looks like in practice. A 5% tighter buffer shifts the liquidation curve enough to absorb sudden liquidity shocks without creating excess sell pressure. Note the proactivity. That is the alpha. 🍊

▪️ The stSTX/stSTXbtc pool is currently one of the biggest pools on @Bitflow_Finance and @VelarBTC. ▪️The StackingDao LSTs currently back over $2.35M in loans, serve as the largest reserve asset on @ArkadikoFinance, and have made over 85M STX liquid. The data speaks for itself.

It is almost impossible to talk about DeFi on @Stacks without mentioning @StackingDao. Judging by on-chain activity, StackingDAO’s LSTs have become one of the key contributors to capital flow through the Stacks ecosystem.

BOB and LayerZero just turned @Base into a 1-click door for real BTC flow, in and out, one transaction each way. @LayerZero_Core’s OFT standard lets a token keep one unified supply across many chains by burning at the source and minting at the destination. No middle chains.

If this works as intended, it will reshape how capital and contribution coexist across BTCFi. It goes live this month. I’m ready to see how this plays out. 🟧

Here’s how it works: You mint sBTC, you earn BTC yield. If you’re also holding or stacking STX, your yield gets boosted. The more you contribute to one side, the more value loops back to you from the other.

I’ve been spending some time understanding how Dual Stacking fits into the bigger picture. It is easily one of the most interesting things happening on @Stacks this month.

If you’re looking into making smart stacking decisions this week, study @StackingDao, have your convictions, and make your moves. 🔗:

When you’re dealing with huge capital, you don’t make decisions unless you’re convinced you’re doing the right thing. This was a very calculated move. It is a beautiful interplay of this whale’s understanding of capital efficiency, diversification, and trust in the system.

As we begin the week, with productivity on our minds, something that happened recently on @StackingDao has really stuck with me. An address deposited over $1.9M on StackingDAO, strategically spreading it across multiple products.

▪️ The backing behind Zest is equally remarkable, with industry giants like Trust Machines, Tim Draper, and Binance Labs (including CZ) supporting the protocol. With such a solid track record, it is clear these milestones are just the beginning. 🍊

▪️ Zest is the most thoroughly vetted protocol on Stacks, with six smart contract audits ensuring top-tier security. ▪️ Zest has successfully managed 1,345 liquidations without any bad debt, even through rapid market drops, proving its resilience.
