I've been busy with @PlaySapien these past couple of days, but Spark can't stop either.

Spark has been very popular lately, really popular.

In recent months, the popularity of Spark has skyrocketed. The core reasons are two:
•TVL (Total Value Locked) surges, funds flock in
•The airdrop is here, it really is here, the project team is giving tokens to users, it's not just talk.

This airdrop is called Ignition, and many early users of Spark or those who participated in DeFi lending (like Aave, Compound) can receive it. More importantly—this airdrop is not a one-time event; it is designed as a two-phase task system: the first phase is called Ignition, and the second phase is called Overdrive. Those who receive the airdrop, participate in staking, and continue to interact may receive more rewards. In other words, this is not "dispensing coins and running away"; rather, it is a way to retain users.

What is Spark doing? Simply put, it is a "bank on the chain."

The positioning of Spark is actually very clear, which is to do "on-chain asset management." What does that mean? You can:
• Deposit stablecoins (like USDC, USDS) to earn interest (annual yield approximately 6-8%);
• Lending, using cryptocurrency assets as collateral to borrow liquidity;
• Alternatively, like a big player, allocate assets to other DeFi protocols (like Ethena) to earn strategy returns.

Now it has expanded beyond just a single chain protocol to chains like Optimism, Unichain, etc. This means that no matter which ecosystem you use, you can perform operations seamlessly, which is very important, especially when airdrop points have cross-chain bonuses.

Why are so many people flocking to Spark now?

There are several key reasons:

1. The airdrop stimulus is too strong: Previously, everyone was watching Spark accumulate points, and no one really paid attention. Now a wave of airdrops has been distributed, and it’s tangible, everyone has started to move.

2. The returns are quite good: stablecoins can yield 6-8% annually, and it is transparently on-chain. For many people, this feels safer than being on centralized platforms.

Endorsement is strong: Spark is part of the Sky ecosystem, which has now locked over 6 billion dollars. The project team is also well-funded, having recently repurchased 3 million dollars' worth of $SKY. Such a background is rare.

4. The security measures are also quite good: they have engaged several security audit companies for code audits, and governance parameters (like interest rates) are decided by community on-chain voting.
