Investor brief
Stacks (STX) is a fast, low-cost layer 2 network on Bitcoin for building apps and smart contracts. Its 90-Day DeFi Incentives program reportedly runs 10 Sep → 10 Dec 2026, distributing 1 BTC per month (3 BTC total) to users who trade or provide liquidity on Bitflow or supply sBTC and borrow USDCx on Zest Protocol.
Participation & mechanics
Eligible participants reportedly earn from a 3 BTC pool paid at 1 BTC per month by trading or providing liquidity on Bitflow, or by supplying sBTC and borrowing USDCx on Zest Protocol.
Why it matters
The reported incentive pays BTC rewards only to users who take on DeFi activity on Bitflow or Zest, so a passive STX holder receives nothing unless they participate and accept those protocol exposures.
Event Details
New staking, farming, or rewards campaign with defined user actions.
