Core concept
The Hearth
A Hearth is where a Sparkz community lives - before any token exists. Identity, backers, boosts, Meme Engine receipts, Farcaster identity, economic config. The culture starts here.
A token is the Hearthβs optional economic output, not its starting point. Most Hearths stay tokenless - thatβs a feature, not a limitation.
Whatβs inside a Hearth
Hearth lifecycle
Token is NOT required to advance beyond Spark. Many Hearths stay tokenless and thrive. The community pull determines when (or whether) to tokenize.
Each Hearth lives at /c/[slug]
Every approved Hearth gets a public page at trysparkz.com/c/[slug] - identity, boost button, Meme Engine receipts, backers list, graduation panel, and Farcaster Mini App embed. Browse the directory at /explore.
Default economics
Every new Hearth starts with the 1/1/98 default: 1% Sparkz treasury (compute upkeep), 1% community pool (backers claim at splits.org), 98% creator distribution wallet (routes through 0xSplits to collaborators). Fully adjustable. Must sum to 100 and pass the extraction test.
Use the split wizard to tune your split for your specific situation.
