Understanding Spark's TVL and Capital Allocation Strategy
Understanding Spark's TVL and Capital Allocation Strategy
🤔 TVL's Hidden Secret
Spark's Liquidity Layer (SLL) is redefining how TVL should be measured in DeFi. Unlike traditional protocols that simply lock capital, SLL actively allocates funds across multiple protocols and chains.
Key points:
- Currently allocating $2.38B in assets onchain
- Holds ~40% market share as an Onchain Capital Allocator
- Operates across Arbitrum, Base, and Ethereum
The traditional TVL metric appears split because SLL deploys capital externally. When enabling 'Double Counting', the full picture emerges, showing LP tokens and vault positions across the ecosystem.
This approach maximizes capital efficiency by:
- Ensuring deeper liquidity
- Generating competitive yields
- Reducing idle capital
The Spark TVL needs a closer look. Spark is growing, with an expanding supply and multiple new capital integrations between TradFi, CeFi, and Defi. But what about the Spark Liquidity Layer's TVL? Let's have a look 👇
