Spark emerges as the pioneer among Maker SubDAOs, shaping the future of MakerDAO’s Endgame roadmap.
It fosters a dedicated and independent community that leverages the power of MakerDAO to develop innovative DeFi products that address proven market demands.
The highly anticipated Launch Season reaches its peak with the arrival of SparkDAO, along with its native token SPK and a variety of SPK token farming programs
Learn more about what SparkDAO has to offer. ↓
Spark App: The Powerhouse of DeFi
Spark's main offerings include SparkLend and Cash & Savings, available on .
• SparkLend enables users to borrow DAI at large scales using high-liquidity assets, with a best-in-class user experience.
• Spark Cash & Savings introduces a decentralized, on-chain banking-like product that connects cash and savings accounts’ features with the Dai Savings Rate (DSR). It is accessible with DAI, USDT, and USDC.app.spark.fi
SPK Tokenomics: Pre-farming the airdrop
SparkLend users can participate in pre-farming activities on to start earning SPK tokens in advance.
The current SPK pre-farming program will be active until May 20th, 2024. Earned SPK tokens will be distributed at the Spark Launch.
Users of SparkLend can track their accrued SPK tokens at .
Once SparkDAO is launched, SPK tokens can be farmed through yield farming.
Upon the launch of Spark, NewStable users will have the opportunity to yield farm SPK tokens on both the Ethereum mainnet and a major L2 scaling solution.
A total of 4 billion SPK tokens will be distributed over a 10-year period:
1 billion tokens will be distributed annually for the first 2 years. Subsequently, the distribution rate will decrease by half every 2 years, ensuring a controlled release of SPK tokens.
• NewStable users will receive 70% of the distributed tokens (700 million SPK annually).
• Lockstake Engine users will receive the remaining 30% (300 million SPK annually).
The SPK token has the power to shape the future.
SPK token holders will have the opportunity to farm NewGovToken (NGT) immediately.
This feature enables users to participate in MakerDAO ecosystem governance by obtaining NewGovToken. SPK holders can anticipate a steady annual farming rate of 80 million NewGovToken.
Moreover, through the ongoing pre-farming, SparkLend users can earn an allocation of SPK tokens before Spark is fully operational, giving them a vested interest in the DAO’s future.
Spark Governance: Building a self-sustaining community
SparkDAO champions a community-driven governance model powered by SPK token voting. Over time, Spark Governance aims to achieve full autonomy in managing all aspects of Spark, seamlessly integrated within the Maker SubDAO ecosystem.
Phased governance rollout:
• Initial focus: At launch, SPK token holders will have the authority to steer Community Marketing and the Spark Purpose System.
• Progressive delegation: As the Spark community matures and demonstrates its capabilities, MakerDAO will gradually delegate additional responsibilities to SPK token holders.
Get started on the next-gen DeFi app and enjoy the highest rates with particularly high liquidity, at scale:
Kindly note that the Spark hub, SPK pre-farming and yield farming is not available to users residing in the US or those using VPNs.app.spark.fi

As the launch season approaches, MakerDAO is preparing to introduce two new tokens - NewStable and NewGovToken.
Explore the details below ↓
After the upcoming brand reveal, the new tokens will be introduced into the ecosystem.
NewStable (NST) is the codename for the upgraded version of Dai, tailored for broader adoption and designed with enhanced stability features. The official name will be unveiled through the brand reveal.
NewGovToken (NGT) represents a refined approach to governance within our ecosystem. It’s designed to encourage wider participation and more dynamic decision-making. The final name will also be shared through the brand reveal.
The conversion process for token holders is straightforward:
• For NewStable (NST): Dai holders can seamlessly upgrade to NewStable, enjoying the flexibility to revert back to Dai as desired.
• For NewGovToken (NGT): Each Maker token (MKR) can be converted into 24,000 NGT. This redenomination aims to encourage wider participation in governance activities.
These additions represent an expansion and will not replace the existing Dai (DAI) and Maker (MKR) tokens. Users will have the option to transition to NewStable and NewGovToken.
Now, let’s talk about key functionalities:
NewStable
• NewStable will be accessible to both new users and existing Dai holders. Existing users can upgrade their Dai, with the flexibility to convert their holdings back to Dai whenever they choose.
• NST holders can engage in farming to earn NGT right from launch.
• 600 million NGT will be distributed annually to participating NST holders through farming.
• Farming will not be available to US residents or users employing VPNs.
• The official name of NST will be unveiled through the new brand reveal.
The Spark team loved working with such brilliant minds who created amazing projects on Maker, Spark, and sDAI.
Among all the great participants, we've awarded our prizes totaling 12,000 DAI to the selected projects:
↓
🥇 Claiming the top spot for the best use of Conduits:
DustConduit — 2,000 DAI
Implemented the IAllocatorConduit to mediate between SubDAOs and external protocols, thus facilitating the standardized flow of DAI between SubDAOs and yield opportunities.
🥈 Taking second place for the best use of Conduits:
RWA Yield — 1,000 DAI
Leverages the MakerDAO ecosystem to allow loans against tokenized assets. Users pledge RWAs, and receive DAI loans through an automated dividend-paying protocol.
sDAI (Savings DAI) is the new tokenized version of DSR-enabled DAI.
Fully powered by the DSR, it is an ERC-4626 token that offers enhanced integrations and gas efficiency for a better user experience.
How does it work? ↓
Recently the DSR went from 1% to 3.49%, enabling a higher yield natively streamed to all DAI holders that opt in.
sDAI implements a tokenized EIP-4626 compliant wrapper for DAI deposited into the DSR, converting the DSR-deposited position into a token you can hold and use.
The sDAI token allows users to interact with the DSR through the following methods:
• Deposit DAI into the DSR by calling SavingsDAI's mint method.
• Withdraw DAI from the DSR by calling SavingsDAI's burn method.
The proposal titled RWA014-A (Coinbase Custody) DAO Resolution, suggests the following changes to the Maker Protocol:
As per the latest forum post by the Stability Scope Responsible Facilitators, the approval of this executive proposal will signal Maker Governance's agreement to the following DAO Resolution to James Asset Trust 3 (JAT3).
The MakerDAO governance resolution is a standing instruction to JAT3 requesting and ratifying the trustee to follow a sequence of actions when requested by Monetalis, during defined protocol conditions:
