> "Defi Education: Spark Protocol and how it outperformed other lending protocols in Q2

DeFi lending had a brutal Q2. The rsETH exploit shook a lot of confidence in DeFi in general. Borrowing demand was weak. Spreads were tight. Revenue fell. Some numbers: Aave's interest income dropped 23% & Ethena's fees dropped 21%. In that same window, Spark more than doubled its share of the lending market & stayed profitable. As a defi maximalist, this headline caught my attention. Here's my takeaway's from the latest Blockworks report on their Q2. First, what is Spark? It's a capital allocator for stablecoins. It sources liquidity from Sky (the protocol formerly known as MakerDAO) & routes that capital across a range of venues: its own market SparkLend, Morpho, institutional desks like Anchorage & Arkis, & Uniswap. It moves the money to wherever demand & spreads are best. Essentially, it's a protocol of DeFi yield farmers trying to maximize return and minimize risk."

Better access, faster settlement, lower friction, and real utility is the standard."
