SPK Introduction: The core token of the Spark protocol

SPK is the native Token of the decentralized finance protocol Spark, designed to support the governance, security, and incentive mechanisms of the protocol. Spark is currently deployed on multiple chains including Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, Optimism, Unichain, and Gnosis Chain, managing over $3.5 billion in stablecoin liquidity, with an annual income of up to $172 million.

SPK functions: governance, staking and incentives

In terms of governance, SPK holders can participate in the decision-making process of the Spark protocol, initially voting through Snapshot, and will gradually transition to on-chain governance in the future.

The staking mechanism allows users to stake SPK to obtain Spark Points, while also receiving additional rewards from the Symbiotic protocol. In the future, staking SPK may be used for protocol security and service verification, further expanding its utility.

Token distribution mechanism and total supply

A total of 10 billion SPK were minted at the genesis, distributed as follows:

• 65% (6.5 billion): Used for Sky Farming, distributed gradually over 10 years.
• 23% (2.3 billion coins): Used for the development of the Spark ecosystem.
• 12% (1.2 billion tokens): allocated to the core team of the project, with a lock-up period and vesting period.

Sky reserves the right to issue additional SPK in extreme circumstances to address potential bad debts and other risk situations.

Sky Farming: SPK Distribution Plan for the Next Decade

The Sky ecosystem launches SPK Farming through staking USDS stablecoins, with the distribution plan as follows:

• Year 1-2: 1.625 billion tokens are distributed each year.
• Year 3-4: 812.5 million coins are distributed annually.
• Year 5-6: 406.25 million tokens will be distributed each year.
• Years 7-10: 203.125 million tokens are issued each year.

This decreasing distribution mechanism helps control circulation inflation and ensures long-term value.

The development outlook of SPK

With the gradual improvement of Sky Farming and the Spark ecosystem, SPK is expected to become one of the most representative governance Tokens in the DeFi market. Users can not only share network rewards by participating in staking and governance but also seize early benefits by leveraging the rapidly expanding stablecoin market of Spark.
