SparkLend, the lending protocol within the Sky ecosystem, has seen USDS borrowing surpass $800 million, a 64% increase in just 30 days, setting a new all-time high. The protocol's total liquidity is about $6.8 billion, with active borrowings around $2.13 billion, largely backed by Ethereum-native assets like wrapped staked ETH. SparkLend differs from similar platforms by using governance-set borrowing rates for USDS instead of market-driven rates, supported by Sky's Peg Stability Module for stablecoin swaps. Recently, SparkLend consolidated its operations solely on Ethereum, discontinuing its Gnosis Chain deployment, which may increase risks due to heavy reliance on Ethereum staking and the broader Sky ecosystem's governance and reserves.
