Earning Savings

Spark enables users to easily deposit stablecoins into Savings Vaults, and receive Savings Tokens, representing your share of deposits in the Savings Vaults. As savings accrue, Savings Tokens increases in value over time against the underlying deposit asset.

Savings Vaults

Spark currently supports the following Savings Vaults:

Savings Rate

  1. To deposit, for the selected vault, click on the Deposit button. You can also navigate to the Supported stablecoins section, which displays the stablecoin holdings in your wallet, and click on the deposit button for the asset you wish to deposit. Note that different Savings Vaults will support different stablecoins.

  2. In the deposit window you specify the stablecoin (dropdown) and amount (input) you wish to deposit.

    In the Transaction Overview it will show the APY, the route (if not using USDS, how tokens are swapped, before being deposited), and the final outcome of the deposit. To finalize the deposit you must execute the transactions in the Actions section.

Depositing USDS, and receiving sUSDS

Note: If you deposit other stablecoins than USDS, they will be swapped for USDS before being deposited into Savings. The swap route is shown in the Transaction Overview. This swap uses non-custodial Sky smart contracts, and is not facilitated or in any way custodied by Spark.

The following example showcases a USDC deposit:

Depositing USDC into Savings

Confirmation Savings Deposit

  1. The sUSDS tokens represents your share of USDS deposited the Sky Savings Rate. You need the sUSDS tokens to withdraw accrued savings in the future, so keep the tokens safe.

  2. After your deposit, you will see your Savings grow in real time. You can also see your projected earnings in the My Earnings section.

Withdraw from Savings

Note: If you withdraw USDC from Savings, USDS will be swapped for USDC using the Sky PSM after being withdrawn from Savings. The Sky PSM does not incur any slippage or fee beyond gas. The swap route is shown in the Transaction Overview. This swap is possible as long as there is liquidity in the Sky PSM. This swap uses non-custodial Sky smart contracts, and is not facilitated or in any way custodied by Spark.

The following example showcases a USDC withdrawal:
