Sparkz economics

Community Pool

The idea: every Sparkz Hearth reserves a share of its trading fees for the people who actually built the culture - held in a 0xSplits contract, claimed at splits.org. No auto-payout, no deadline, no minimum.

How to read this: this is the economic model Sparkz is built around - it applies once a Hearth graduates to a token (trading fees, 0xSplits). It is the intended mechanism, not something enforced on-chain today. A spark has no coin and no fees yet.

Default split (1/1/98)

98% creator1% community pool1% treasury

Creator can raise the community pool - e.g. Zoostr chose 50%. Floor is 1% and cannot be removed. All percentages must sum to 100.

How it works

⚡

Contribute to the Hearth

Boost, back, remix, or participate. Every action earns points on the leaderboard. Holding the token earns nothing - contribution earns the fee share.

📊

Weekly snapshot

ZOL runs a weekly leaderboard snapshot. Your proportional share of the community pool is calculated from your points vs. total points across all contributors.

🔄

0xSplits weights updated

The snapshot updates the allocation weights in the 0xSplits contract. Fees that accumulated since the last update are now claimable at the new proportions.

💰

Claim at splits.org

Pull model - you claim your share when you want at splits.org. No deadline. No auto-payout. Unclaimed fees accumulate until you claim. No minimum.

Guardrails

The community pool has hard rules that protect contributors from extraction.

Holding ≠ contribution

Owning the token earns optionality (you can trade it). Contributing earns fee share. A whale who holds but never participates earns nothing from the community pool.

1% floor - always

Every Sparkz Hearth keeps at least 1% of the fee tier for the community pool. Creators can raise it. They cannot eliminate it.

Pull, not push

Fees do not land in your wallet automatically. You claim at splits.org when ready. This removes the claim that there are guaranteed earnings.

Points reset = fairness reset

If a creator resets the leaderboard, the historical point accumulation clears. Past splits stay as recorded; only future snapshots use new points.

Live example - Zoostr community pool

50% community25% creator + ops25% treasury

Zoostr chose a community-first split: 50% of all $ZOOSTR trading fees go to the community pool. Boosters earn points by liking ZABAL casts via Boostr. Weekly snapshot → 0xSplits update → claim at splits.org.
