Sanctum Validator LSTs vs Spark

Sanctum wraps stake from 40+ individual Solana validators into a suite of liquid staking tokens such as bSOL and jSOL. Its validator set auto‑rebalances to maximise yield and skip validators exceeding delinquency thresholds. All contracts are upgrade‑locked with a 72‑hour timelock controlled by the Sanctum council.

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.
