Morpho Blue vs Spark

Morpho Blue is a minimal peer‑to‑peer lending primitive where anyone can deploy an isolated market smart contract referencing an external Chainlink price feed. Rates dynamically converge toward Compound V3 curves but settle peer‑to‑peer, which removes spread capture by the protocol and routes it to lenders and borrowers. The entire factory is less than 500 lines of Solidity and was formally verified by Certora.

SparkLend is MakerDAO’s permissionless lending front‑end that pipes DAI liquidity directly from the Maker core vault into isolated lending markets. Because the backend uses D3M credit lines, borrowers enjoy below‑market rates that float with the DAI Savings Rate. Since launch on Ethereum mainnet in May 2023 Spark TVL has oscillated between 300‑600 million DAI and is governed by MKR Executive Votes.
