Spark is expanding to institutional lending.
With the allocation of $50M into @maplefinance's SyrupUSDC giving Spark access to overcollateralized offchain & onchain lending.
And making it one of the largest DeFi allocations with the potential to scale to $100M.

@lastofhiskind@ssslomp for shirts, uniqlo is real decent for the cheaper end, i like banana republic though if you’re willing to spend a bit extra
for pants, you’d be surprised how solid the ones from brands like Zara and Abercrombie can be
Biggest red flag in a token is when they advertise artifical native yield that’s paid in native token. Enjoy losing 90% on your capital while getting those juicy 36% yields.
Hats off to @thiccyth0t for the great writeup- the dude sat and transcribed it out old school. Typewriter and all.
One of the things I'm glad we covered was hardware vs software, but for the human brain.
For years growing up I was not using anywhere near my potential because I was stuck on "hardware mindset".
Hardware is your processor speed, like raw IQ. You need this for doing well on SATs and getting into competitive classes growing up.
Hardware gets the most attention growing up-- Its like the 100m race at the olympics:
One quick conversation and most people can see your hardware. Its on display as much as Usain Bolt when he sprints out of the blocks.
This creates a common trap though for early high-achievers. You start associating your Hardware with your identity- it fuses with your ego growing up.
Now hardware is good and all- especially as it slowly decays over time, its good to start with a bit extra in the tank.
But the ego-association can hold one back in life- instead of searching for objective truth and building your software on the solid foundation of reality, you instead develop your frameworks and habits around ego-preserving biases.
This was me through my 20s. Its not a happy time to go through life when you can't reconcile the high potential you feel you have internally, with the outcomes in the real world not matching anywhere near your expectations.
The reason I would fail at my goals through my 20s was because the foundation of mental frameworks I was using was biased. Full of holes. Trying to build a tall skyscraper on top of soft sand.
One of the eye-opening moments for me was seeing some of the people I idolizeds a achieving the goals I had for myself, titans of the financial world like @RayDalio, didn't even seem to have that great of Hardware.
Had I gotten it all wrong? Ultimately achieving anything in life is just a compounding of good-decision making.
And perhaps these real-world high achievers were instead using excellent Software- relying on ever advanced concepts they built on top of solid foundation of seeking inconvenient truths.
The best advice I could give someone in a spot like I was in my 20s, full of potential and low on results--
Walk away from the castles you've built on the sand. Gently let go of the ego that is attached your hardware and the bitterness of the world not handing you success because of it.
Instead- start compounding and growing every year by focusing on building clean, bug-free upgradeable Software.
Leveling up over time is the most enjoyable game in the world. I hope as many people as possible out there can join this game- its even better when its done with heartfelt collaborations. 💜
