Prefer us on Google
The Spark protocol released its financial report for the first quarter of 2026 on April 27.
The report shows that the gross protocol return for the quarter was $31.5 million (a 31% decrease quarter-over-quarter), the net protocol return was $6.91 million (a 30% decrease quarter-over-quarter), and the net protocol surplus was $3.46 million (a 47% decrease quarter-over-quarter). The protocol treasury reached a size of $46.1 million at the end of the quarter (a 5.7% increase quarter-over-quarter). Additionally, Spark launched a SPK token buyback program, investing $986,000 to repurchase tokens from the open market.
The revenue structure for this quarter has shifted, with distribution rewards becoming the largest net return contributor to the protocol ($3.31 million), surpassing the net income from Spark Liquidity Layer (SLL) for the first time. The average deployed capital for SLL was $1.93 billion, with an average annualized yield of 5.8%. SparkLend continues to support institutional-level lending operations, with its USDT savings treasury continuing to grow. The Spark institutional lending product deployed $150 million at the end of the quarter, with governance approving its $1 billion cap.
The report noted that the current unfavorable conditions in the DeFi lending market have led to a narrowing of the SLL interest margin, but the protocol's distribution business has seen significant growth. USDS, as a scalable savings-based return mechanism in a poor market environment, is continuously expanding its distribution channels to multi-chain and various stablecoins.
