SparkDEX is an advanced decentralized finance hub, featuring an AMM and a perps protocol, which will leverage Flare’s enshrined data protocols for decentralized data access.
The SparkDEX DeFi Hub is a “friendly fork” of the successful QuickSwap decentralized exchange on Polygon, and is supported by the QuickSwap community. Flare and SparkDEX will be added as an option in the QuickSwap network selector menu, following the approval of a QuickSwap proposal over the weekend.
The DeFi hub incorporates a high-performance DEX and on-chain perpetuals platform that allows trades with up to 100x leverage. More advanced AI components and DeFi strategies will be added in future as the SparkDEX team continues to execute on its roadmap and vision.
Anita Ng, BD Representative at SparkDEX, comments: “As a high-performance DeFi ecosystem looking to harness the most advanced infrastructure available in the industry, the SparkDEX team strategically selected Flare to leverage their enshrined data protocols. Flare’s comprehensive approach to data management sets its ecosystem apart as the go-to blockchain for data, which will support further innovation and data-driven decision-making on SparkDEX. This marriage of bleeding-edge DeFi with data interoperability from Flare will make a powerful combination.”
Airdrop
5% of the SparkDEX total token supply has been allocated as an airdrop to reward early participants on the platform. 40% of this (2% of total distribution) will go to existing QuickSwap users.
Perpetuals Protocol
The flagship offering on SparkDEX DeFi Hub will be the V2 Perpetuals Exchange, launching later in July and taking advantage of the upgraded Flare Time Series Oracle (FTSO) for fast updating price feeds to protect against front running and false liquidations.
It supports up to 100x leverage, with a range of possible order types, including a unique trailing stop loss feature to help traders protect their positions:
Chain Abstraction Mechanism
SparkDEX’s Chain Abstraction mechanism aggregates the major perpetual DEXs across 12 chains, including Arbitrum, Optimism & Polygon, and efficiently settles orders by selecting the most favorable route and rate for each trade.
Powered by LayerZero, the general message passing network that recently integrated Flare, this abstraction mechanism will ensure users receive the best possible execution from their chain of choice.
The DEX will initially offer perps on digital assets, adding commodities and forex once the relevant data feeds are live on Flare’s enshrined oracle, the FTSO.
Decentralized Exchange
SparkDEX V3 DEX, which is now live on https://SparkDEX.ai/, provides access to crypto trading pairs with ultra-competitive liquidity incentives, a generous revenue-sharing model where DEX fees are shared with token stakers, and comprehensive liquidity management.
SparkDEX operates on a permissionless model, allowing anyone to list a trading pair. To incentivize liquidity providers and attract users, the DEX implements a whitelisting process for tokens that qualify for rewards programs.
Flare DeFi Emissions Program
Supported by the Flare network’s new DeFi emissions program, industry-leading rewards are available on the wFLR-sFLR and wFLR-USDX pools with more to be added in the coming weeks.
“After the recent community approval of the new Flare DeFi emissions program and the integration of LayerZero V2, the launch of SparkDEX is another huge milestone in the rapid advancement of Flare’s DeFi ecosystem. We look forward to seeing significant liquidity inflows into their pools and how that will accelerate the growth of DeFi on Flare. The launch of their perps DEX is going to be particularly exciting,” said Flare Co-Founder Hugo Philion.
