Spark has leveraged Layer-2 Chain Fuel Network technology to introduce a fully on-chain order book for Ethereum.
According to a press release, Spark has launched its on-chain order book for the Ethereum (ETH) ecosystem to provide fast execution for professional, institutional and advanced retail traders as decentralized finance experiences a resurgence.
An order book is a digitized list of buy and sell orders, arranged by price level. This tool allows traders to observe the prices at which other users plan to acquire or sell assets.
Spark noted that existing order books, powered by automated market makers and centralized exchanges, struggle to meet the demands of high-frequency and algorithmic trading. The protocol stated that it had addressed this issue with its Central Limit Order Book, or CLOB, system.
With full visibility into order depth and liquidity, users are protected from risks such as front-running and manipulation, while enjoying the security of self-control. Unlike centralized exchanges, Spark ensures users have full control over their assets, making it an ideal platform for traders who prioritize security, transparency and efficiency.

Spark co-founder Nick Sway, CEO of Fuel Network, noted that the decentralized protocol aims to set a new benchmark for fast blockchain precision and scalability on Ethereum, the largest on-chain smart contract ecosystem in decentralized finance.
Spark’s CLOB mechanism went live on Fuel’s L2 network following the launch of the chain’s mainnet on October 16. Spark was one of the first decentralized protocols to deploy its product on Ethereum’s new layer 2 scaling solution.
