Sparkz

---

Sparkz is where a project starts as a Hearth and grows through Sparks. A Hearth is the project's home: its identity, the people backing it, and a record of everything it ships. A Spark is any event that grows the Hearth: a show, a drop, a release, a collab, a launch. A project can have many. Community grows through onchain actions people take together, not through buying in. Back the album.

TL;DR Sparkz is for creators, no code needed. Open a Hearth, grow it with Sparks, and let the record of what you do together speak.

Sparkz is for creators - artists, musicians, writers, builders - and the people around them. You do not need to code to use it, or to help.

Here is the whole idea in plain words: you open a Hearth - a home for your project that holds your identity, the people backing you, and a record of everything you have made. Then you grow it with Sparks: events that bring people in, like a show, a drop, a release or a collab. Every action people take around your work adds to the record, and the record is what grows.

• Support - people can boost your work for free, no wallet needed to start.
• Connect - your project gets a Farcaster home and a community that shows up.
• Build - turn a relevant moment into a publish-ready post and a permanent record.

Glossary

TL;DR Every coined word on this page, in plain English - start here if a term trips you up.

Plain-language definitions. If a coined word shows up anywhere and you are not sure what it means, it is here.

Term	In plain words
Spark	An event that grows a Hearth: a show, a drop, a release, a collab, a launch. A Hearth can have many.
Hearth	Your project's home base on Sparkz - its identity, its backers, and a record of what it has made. The hub of the wheel. Every project starts here.
Spoke	A tool you connect to your Hearth (a Discord, a treasury, an Audius catalog). The Hearth is the hub; each integration is a spoke. Vendors can add their own.
Back / Boost	To support a creator you believe in. Free - no wallet required to start.
Meme Engine	The part of Sparkz that turns a cultural moment into a post and a permanent record.
Meme Receipt	The record - which moment, which response, why it matched, and the outcomes it can generate.
Farcaster	An open social network (like Twitter, but you own your identity). Sparkz shares there first.
Onchain action	Something a person does around a project that is recorded onchain: wearing a hat, backing, attending, contributing.. Records live on Ethereum and its networks.
Empire	A shared treasury a project can set up - a shared account for its money.
The ZAO	The creator collective Sparkz is part of.

The idea

TL;DR A project starts as a Hearth and grows through Sparks; community grows through what people do together, onchain.

Every project on Sparkz starts as a Hearth: a home where a community backs the work and builds a track record. It grows through Sparks - events that bring people in and give them something to do: a show, a drop, a release, a collab, a launch. Each action people take is recorded, onchain where it counts, so the project's history and its community grow together.

Why it's different

TL;DR Start with a Hearth, grow with Sparks, a visible boost signal, ZAO-backed quality - and the work is always the pitch.

• Start with a Hearth. Identity, backing, receipts - a real record from day one.
• Grow with Sparks. Events are how a Hearth grows, and every one leaves a record of who showed up and what they did.
• A boost signal. Supporters can show up without a wallet or payment. Leaderboards and reward layers can build on that signal later.
• Collectables on the roadmap. Backing a creator's work will earn collectables - a v2 layer, not live today.
• Backed by ZAO. Not a permissionless farm. ZAO stands behind who launches, so it stays quality over hype, and takes an aligned locked stake - never a fee slice.

The frame: Sparkz leads with the work: back the album. Perks are what backers enjoy today, not promises. Community grows through onchain actions people take together.

No lock-in, by design

TL;DR Your data is yours, swap any piece, bring your own tools, any chain, leave any time.

Sparkz is built so a creator is never trapped - not in a vendor, not in a chain, not even in our own stack. The whole point is to give creators the least-friction way to build, while keeping every exit open.
