Summary

Spark announced it will provide $100 million in stablecoin liquidity to the Base network.
The liquidity provision is expected to expand the scale of stablecoin operations and improve liquidity.
Spark previously launched an asset management project through the 'Spark Tokenization Grand Prix'.

Sky's (formerly MakerDAO) major ecosystem liquidity marketplace, Spark, announced through its official channel that it will provide $100 million worth of stablecoin (a virtual asset pegged to the value of the dollar) liquidity to the Ethereum (ETH) Layer 2 Base network on the 11th.

Base is an Ethereum-based blockchain network developed by Coinbase. Spark is a decentralized project 'Star' that operates independently within the Sky ecosystem.

According to Spark, this liquidity provision can expand the scale of stablecoin operations on the Base network, improve network liquidity, and enhance the safety of deposit yields. Phoenix Labs, the Spark development team, explained, "This is a solution that can simultaneously enhance stablecoin utilization and capital efficiency."

Meanwhile, Spark previously launched the 'Spark Tokenization Grand Prix', a project to invest $1 billion of Sky's reserves in tokenized U.S. Treasury products. Major asset management firms like BlackRock, Ondo Finance, and Athena have announced their participation in the project. The winning project will be selected through governance voting by Sky token holders.
