Learn-to-Earn Quiz Winners
A big congratulations to the winners of last week's quiz:
Which of the following 'SPARTA' facts are not true?
- The project is built, maintained and governed by the community
- Spartan Protocol is a custom-built AMM, not a UniSwap fork
- The SPARTA token enables the protocol's decentralised oracle
- The SPARTA token was distributed via 100% community allocation
- The Bond program was the first phase of SPARTA token distribution
- Slip based fees provide an additional security layer to the pools
The correct (untrue) answer was:
The Bond program was the first phase of SPARTA token distribution
The Bond program was actually the second phase of the initial token distribution
The information from this week's quiz was gathered from the 'Introduction' page of the community documentation.

There’s no doubt in my mind that $SPARTA will become a top 100 project in 2022. @SpartanProtocol is programmed and primed for $1B TVL/market cap. Exponential growth is inevitable. Here’s why 🧵#SPARTA #Crypto #BNBChain #HomeOfStables #BNBGem
New Learn-to-Earn Quiz
There is a new #LearnToEarn quiz up and live for Spartans keen to learn and win some SPARTA in the process!
Don't forget to ask in the social channels if you are not sure! The community is there to help and these quizzes are all about learning!
Top Social Engagement on BNBChain / BSC
Thanks to GemsChill for crunching the LunarCrush data and producing this graphic showing some of the top BNBChain projects in terms of social engagement
BitKeep Supported DApp
The Spartan Protocol community DApp was confirmed supported and added to the list of DApps in the BitKeep browser this week also. Contributors will soon work on specific detection and add the BitKeep icon to the community DApp too.
High Swap Volume Day
Friday saw a very high volume swap day whilst the SPARTA price went for a bit of overdue movement on market. The TVL popped up over $5M during this activity with over $1.2M in swap volume.
Let us all appreciate the fact that @SpartanProtocol just exceeded $5M TVL and reached it highest swap volume since over a month 🙏. What a great day. pic.twitter.com/mwGeqJV52O

The BNB:SPARTA pool saw the largest uptick in volume with more than 50% of it's depth swapped through the pools (a normal good day is around 5% in most AMMs)
More than 50% of the $BNB : $SPARTA pool depth was utilized yesterday with a very big uptick in swap volume.

LPs love it! 73.29% estimated APY at the moment if you provide #BNB liquidity and stake the LPs in the DaoVault #SustainableYield@SpartanProtocol @BNBCHAIN #DeFi pic.twitter.com/2TSCgeVliN
USDT #OpenTheGates
The USDT pool once again reached its liquidity caps, continuing to grow at a consistent rate. After analysis, its caps have raised from 1.5M to 2.5M SPARTA to allow its continued growth.

Community Contribution
Spartan Protocol is at its core, a community-driven and led project. In this vein, the more contributors the better. There is a great opportunity for community members to contribute by making LP reward analysis tools, etc.
Recently, community members have been graciously funnelling in to contribute to explainer articles, ideas and even $SPARTA donations to support the growth of the platform.
