Spark is an on-chain asset allocator that deploys capital across DeFi, CeFi and real-world assets to build a scalable yield engine with fully transparent, on-chain operations. Its Savings product lets users earn yields by depositing assets such as USDC, USDT, PYUSD, USDS or ETH, while SparkLend enables borrowing USDC and USDS at governance-determined, transparent rates with real-time position management. The SPK token governs the ecosystem, enabling staking and voting (with delegation), and Spark emphasizes security through audits and a large bug bounty program.
