3. SRK ERC-20 and SFUEL BEP-20 holders reached a combination of 21.4K+ holders

As of March 30, we now have a total of 15.8 thousand SRK holders, as recorded on Etherscan. The count continues to increase as SRK becomes available to more exchanges around the globe.

As of writing, our 3-month old governance token, SFUEL has already reached more than 9.6K addresses as recorded in BSCScan. The big increase in number was due to the newly created wallets due to the ongoing SFUEL airdrop for SRK holders.

We see a steady increase in the number of holders in both SRK ERC-20 and SFUEL BEP-20. This doesn’t include yet the BEP-20 versions of SparkPoint which are: bSRK on PancakeSwap, SRK on BSC — bridged through JulSwap, and SRKb, the bridged SRK token through SparkPoint’s own bridging contract in SparkBridge.

4. Q1 2020 SRK Buy Back and Burn events: 156,517,111.066 SRK (approx 2.7M USD) Burned

On March 30, we’ve conducted the very first Buy Back and Burn (BBnB) or #SRKBBnB for 2021. The BBnB this quarter was quite unique because there has been a surprise BBnB 2 days after the March 30 event. A total of 65,988,752 SRK tokens has been initially burned and were followed by another 90,528,359.066 SRK tokens in April 1. Adding it up, that’s 156,517,111.066 SRK — an approximate 2.7M USD.

SparkPoint will conduct this series of quarterly BBnB until the SRK token supply reduces to 10B. The next buy back and burn is slated at the end of June 2021.

5. SparkPoint Wallet Early Preview now available for iOS

Months in development, and now it’s here. SparkPoint Wallet has finally arrived on the iOS platform. The Early Preview was made available for beta testing on March 20 through Apple’s TestFlight app. The release was intended for early adopters and testers who will be reporting bugs, errors, broken features, and general feedback so that the team could further stabilize and enhance the app before its slated public release on the App Store this Q2. As of writing, early adopters of the app are nearing 1,000.

6. SparkBridge has officially launched on SparkDeFi Web App

SparkBridge, SparkPoint’s own bridging app has arrived on the SparkDeFi web app on March 25. The bridging app also gave birth to SparkPoint’s official token on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC), SRKb, through SparkPoint’s own bridging contract. The smart contract was launched on BSC on March 12, 2021.

Users can now convert the SRK ERC-20 token to the SRKb BEP-20 token and vice versa with ease within the SparkDeFi web app. Users can now use SparkBridge to convert their existing SRK ERC-20 to SRKb so they could participate in the pool-based staking on SparkPool, where they can stake it to earn SFUEL rewards.

7. SparkSwap Early Preview has officially launched, $100K Total Liquidity added

SparkSwap, SparkPoint’s decentralized exchange (DEX) is now here. Instantly swap multiple cryptocurrencies in a trustless and decentralized manner with SparkSwap DEX. It is still in its early preview state with new features and UI/UX improvements will be done in the coming months.

For starters, a total of $100K total liquidity has already been provided for the SRKb-BNB and SRKb-BUSD pairs.

8. SparkPool is now live, stake SRKb and Earn SFUEL rewards through pool-based staking

SparkPool is now live on the SparkDeFi web app. Users can now participate in SRK pools (with SFUEL pools coming up in the future). By participating, users can stake SRK tokens or SFUEL in the regular pool-based staking and collect SRK or SFUEL rewards regularly.

As of now, users can start staking SRKb (by first bridging their SRK ERC-20 token through SparkBridge) so they could earn SFUEL.

9. Quarterly SFUEL Airdrop Distribution commenced

On March 25, the SFUEL airdrop distribution to SRK holders has commenced. The snapshot happened at 12:00 AM UTC and was followed by verification and validation. SRK holders will receive SFUEL based on their holding during the snapshot, in 1 SFUEL per 2,248 SRK ratio.

The distribution is being done by batches of 1,000 addresses starting with the top SRK holders. As of writing, the rewards have already been sent to the top 5,000 holders, with smallholders already queued in line. The next batches are stakers and liquidity providers.
