- Spark is a Bitcoin Layer 2 that enables instant, low-cost transfers of Bitcoin and Bitcoin-native assets (including stablecoins) while maintaining full connection to Bitcoin's infrastructure, avoiding bridges or wrappers.
- It integrates seamlessly with the Lightning Network without requiring nodes or channels, simplifying processes like offline receive and liquidity management.
- With tools like the Wallet SDK and Issuer SDK, developers can create and manage tokens directly on Bitcoin, supporting features like stablecoins via the BTKN token standard.
- Transfers within Spark are fee-free; users only incur Bitcoin network fees for deposits and withdrawals.
- Spark is open-source and aims to expand Bitcoin's use from a monetary network into an application platform, attracting broader user adoption, including non-crypto-native users.
