Crypto exchange leader Binance has officially launched a new trading campaign for Zest Protocol (ZEST). The Binance Alpha ZEST Trading competition gives traders the chance to compete for a share of $200,000 in rewards through Binance Alpha.
From May 26 to June 9, users who trade $ZEST through Binance Wallet (Keyless) or Binance Alpha will qualify to share in the ZEST rewards. Furthermore, traders who begin early, on the first two days, will get a 2.5x multiplier on all their cumulative ZEST purchases.
However, if you’re not an Alpha trader or just don’t like day trading, you can sign up with our Binance Referral Code: O0BTS35, and you’ll earn $100 in USDT and an extra 10% trading fee rebates.
About Zest Protocol
Zest Protocol is a decentralized finance platform focused on Bitcoin-native lending and yield opportunities. The protocol is designed to unlock capital efficiency for Bitcoin holders by allowing users to lend, borrow, and generate yield using BTC-related assets without relying heavily on traditional centralized financial systems.
Unlike many DeFi projects built primarily on Ethereum-compatible networks, Zest Protocol focuses heavily on Bitcoin ecosystem infrastructure. Specifically, the project operates within the expanding Bitcoin Layer-2 and Bitcoin DeFi sector, an area that has attracted growing investor attention over the past year.
Additionally, ZEST serves as the ecosystem’s native token and supports multiple functions within the platform, including governance, rewards, and ecosystem incentives. Binance has launched a trading competition for $ZEST that begins on May 26.
Details of the Binance ZEST Trading Competition
- Reward Pool: 588,000 ZEST Tokens, $200,000
- Reward Distribution: 240 ZEST Per User
- Eligible Trading Pairs: ZEST Buys on Binance Alpha
- Contest Duration: Phase 1 May 26, 2026, to June 2, 2026, 13:00 (UTC)
- Phase 2 June 2, 2026, to June 9, 2026, 13:00 (UTC)
If you are eligible to trade Binance Alpha tokens, you can participate in the ZEST trading competition. You will be ranked based on your total purchase volume on ZEST during the Promotion Period. Consequently, every trader who ranks in the top 2,450 will earn 240 $ZEST tokens.
Moreover, this competition also has a unique early bird multiplier system for early traders. For those who trade on the first day, their effective trading volume will be multiplied by 2.5x.
The breakdown of the multiplier throughout the unique ZEST trading competition is:
| Trading Day (Phase 1 & 2) | Multiplier |
| Day 1 | 2.5x |
| Day 2 | 2.2x |
| Day 3 | 1.8x |
| Day 4 | 1.6x |
| Day 5 | 1.4x |
| Day 6 | 1.2x |
| Day 7 | 1.0x |
This means that ZEST buys on May 26 (Phase 1) and June 2 (Phase 2) of $1,000 will count as $2,500 in effective trading volume. In comparison, the same $1,000 purchase on May 27 will count as $2,200.

Important Rules for the ZEST Trading Competition
If you are participating in the ZEST trading competition, it’s best to understand the rules to know what kind of trades qualify:
- Eligible Platforms: Only trades via Binance Wallet (Keyless) or Binance Alpha qualify. Third-party dApps and token bridging are excluded.
- Only cumulative purchases count. ZEST sales will not count towards your trading volume.
- Token bridging transactions are not eligible for this Promotion.
- No Volume Caps: There is no maximum limit on how much you can trade.
- Claim Period: You must claim your tokens within 14 days of them becoming available, or they will be forfeited.
Please note that Binance can disqualify any accounts involved in wash trading, bulk registrations, or market manipulation. In addition, once rewards are marked as claimable, they do not remain in your dashboard indefinitely. Instead, winning participants must manually navigate to their Binance Alpha Event dashboard or Keyless Wallet interface to execute the claim mechanism.
