ZEST arbitrage explained

Right now Zest Protocol (ZEST) trades on 7 venues we scan: 7 perpetual markets, 3 spot markets and 0 DEX pools. The lowest ask is on Gate spot at $0.1873 and the highest bid on KuCoin perp at $0.1875.

The widest ZEST perpetual spread is between Gate and KuCoin: long ZEST on Gate at $0.1875 and short on KuCoin at $0.1875 for -0.01% gross, or -0.17% after the 0.16% two-leg fee model. No transfer is needed: both positions stay on their exchanges until the prices converge. The funding difference on this pair is -0.012% per day, which the position pays while it is open.

For a spot–perpetual (cash-and-carry) trade, the best ZEST route is to buy spot on Gate and short the perpetual on KuCoin: +0.11% gross, -0.09% net, with +0.108% a day of funding on the short leg.

Spot–spot ZEST arbitrage (buy on Gate, withdraw, deposit and sell on MEXC) shows -0.05% gross right now. It only works if withdrawals on the buying exchange and deposits on the selling exchange are open, so check the D/W dots before moving coins.

Small ZEST gaps usually disappear after fees, slippage and funding. Look at the Net column, the executable Depth and the spread history before trading: a gap that has been open for days is a different trade from a one-minute spike.
