Introducing Spark: Making Bitcoin Money Again
Spark is a Bitcoin-native L2 designed for instant, low-cost payments: including native stablecoins.
Bitcoin has become a trillion-dollar asset recognized globally, yet it has failed as a practical payment mechanism. Transactions remain slow, taking 30 minutes, and expensive. This isn't a bug; it's by design.
The Lightning Network Problem
While Lightning Network represents the most adopted scaling solution, it suffers from inherent limitations. It can't scale to billions of people due to poor user experience, fragmented liquidity, and prohibitively high wallet creation costs for developers.
Stablecoins as the Solution
Stablecoins solved a genuine problem that Bitcoin couldn't: providing stable value for everyday transactions. They've become a kind of superpower for developers, enabling rapid wallet deployment and app creation without traditional banking infrastructure.
Introducing Spark
Spark represents a return to first principles: building directly on Bitcoin rather than around it. Key features include native stablecoin support, self-custodial wallets, instant settlement, and Lightning interoperability.
Developer Capabilities
- Move Bitcoin and native assets instantly at minimal cost
- Create scalable, self-custodial applications
- Integrate natively with Lightning Network
Launch Plans
Spark launches with two SDKs: a Wallet SDK for Bitcoin-powered wallets with stablecoin support, and an Issuance SDK enabling asset minting and management on Bitcoin.
