Frequently asked questions
- What is the current price of Zest Protocol (ZEST)?
- Zest Protocol (ZEST) is currently trading at $0.162742 USDT. The price updates every minute and is aggregated across the major crypto exchanges — Binance, Bybit, OKX, KuCoin, Bitget, BingX, MEXC, HTX, Gate.io and Hyperliquid — which removes single-venue outliers and gives a stable reference price you can use for alerts and cross-exchange comparison.
- Where is ZEST traded?
- Zest Protocol (ZEST) is currently tracked across 4 exchanges: KuCoin, HTX, MEXC, Gate — both USDT-M perpetual futures and USDT spot pairs where available. Data refreshes every minute, and each venue feeds the aggregated metrics (price, turnover, open interest, funding).
- What is the ZEST funding rate now?
- Average ZEST funding across 3 exchanges is +0.0104% — longs are paying shorts. Funding is a periodic payment between perpetual-contract sides that pins the perp price to spot; it is charged every 8 hours on most venues (some run 4-hour or 1-hour cycles). A positive rate means long positioning is dominant; sustained readings above +0.05% historically signal long-side overcrowding and frequently precede a long-squeeze — a sharp reversal as longs get force-liquidated.
- What is the ZEST open interest now?
- Total ZEST open interest across our tracked venues is 9.9M (~$1.61M in USD). Open interest is the aggregate notional of unsettled futures contracts (each contract is one long + one short, counted once). Rising OI with rising price confirms fresh money entering and trend strength; rising OI with falling price points to aggressive short build-up; falling OI signals position unwinding and weakening momentum. Watch OI live in the dashboard or set an OI-spike alert below.
- How can I get an alert on ZEST price, OI or funding moves?
- JustScreener scans all 4000+ pairs on 10 exchanges every minute — there is no list of coins to configure. For price, OI or volume alerts use the Custom Screener; for funding — the Funding Screener. A Telegram or push notification fires the moment a rule triggers.
