The protocol continues to be the top DeFi app on Stacks with a $100M+ TVL and around 35,000 total users. It also retains its position as the most frequently utilized dApp on a weekly basis, as reported by StackPulse.

But can Stacking DAO grow further to reach giants like Lido and Jito?

DeFi Updates Related to Stacking DAO

It’s now well-known that stSTX is solidifying its position as the leading DeFi asset on Stacks, especially as new stSTX usecases emerge.

For instance, with Zest enabling stSTX borrowing, users can now earn a yield on their stSTX deposits and borrow more of it for leverage strategies.

This means that it’s possible to earn Zest yield and points, Stacking DAO points, and Stacking rewards by depositing on Zest.

on your mark, get set, BORROW stSTX🎉🎉🎉

stSTX borrowing has been enabled on Zest Protocol!

Over the week, Blockdaemon, the #1 infra solution for staking, joined the Stacking DAO signer network.

Blockdaemon is thrilled to be a part of @StackingDAO’s Signer network. Stacking DAO is a liquid “stacking” platform handling the technical side of delegating #STX tokens. Users who #stack STX tokens with a Signer like Blockdaemon receive rewards in #BTC. https://t.co/Snx434QbhM

Grayscale also announced an STX Trust, which is the first step towards an ETF listing and, in the short term, will lead to more ecosystem inflows.

More investors getting familiar with the ecosystem is key, and as they get into DeFi, Stacking is the simpler use case to start interacting with.

Adrian, for appreciating Stacking DAO and Stacks DeFi apps with regards to better UI/UX designs than other Defi apps on other chains:

Ngl I been using all these Bitcoin / Stacks DeFi, @StackingDao, @Bitflow_Finance, @HermeticaFi, @LiquidiumFi, @ZestProtocol, and of course with @XverseApp. IMO the UI / UX is even better than the DeFis on other chains, much better than the Ethereum DeFi summer several years back.…
