Spark is focused on maximizing user safety across our product suite
this is why we deprecated rsETH (alongside other low-usage assets) in January, and continue to tighten the collateral and feature-set over time
it's also why we have continued to set a high max-rate on our SparkLend ETH market.
this was not very popular among eth-loopers, and likely lost us considerable business and revenue to aave markets over the past year as aave cut max borrow rates on ETH to 10% or less
but in the current situation, it is clear that our approach was the prudent choice, with SparkLend continuing to have ample liquidity for ETH withdrawals while Aave markets across Mainnet, Arbitrum, Plasma, Mantle, and Base are locked up
because ETH is a core collateral asset, illiquidity isnt just an inconvenience for depositors, it presents a critical safety risk where liquidations of ETH collateral cannot take place while markets are at 100% utilization. with current illiquidity conditions on Aave, a 15-20% ETHUSD price drop could cause significant bad debt accumulation (on top of any potential issues attributable to the direct rsETH exploit)
stay safe, use Spark
