What Sparkz is for
The Sparkz Manifesto
Generative, not extractive. Symbiotic, not parasitic.
Start with a spark, not a token.
Every community starts as culture. A creator, a groove, a thing people want more of. The token is the economic layer the community earns access to - not the reason to exist. A Hearth opens before a token exists. Sometimes it stays that way forever. That is a success.
Back the album, not buy a coin.
When someone supports a Sparkz Hearth, they are backing the work - the catalog, the culture, the creativity. They are not buying exposure to a ticker. The moment that distinction collapses, the community breaks. Sparkz is designed to keep them separate.
Contribution earns. Holding waits.
Owning the token gives you optionality - you can trade it when you want. Contributing to the Hearth earns you fee share from the community pool. A whale who holds but never participates earns nothing from the people's cut. This is the only model that does not corrupt the culture.
Culture before price.
Community identity comes first. Token mechanics serve the culture - not the other way around. The moment a Hearth is designed around its price chart, the culture is already gone. ZAO guardrail: any Hearth that exists to pump a token does not pass the vetting threshold.
Attribution before extraction.
Every fee flow must credit the contributor. The 0xSplits contract is not a payout mechanism - it is an attribution mechanism. Every split update is a ledger of who built what. The community pool is a recognition contract first, and a financial contract second.
Capability is not authority.
ZOL can draft casts, propose splits, detect cultural moments, and generate receipts. ZOL cannot post, sign, or spend without a human. The AI advisor advises. The human decides. This is not a limitation - it is the only way to build a system that communities can trust.
Generative, not extractive. Symbiotic, not parasitic.
Sparkz is not designed to extract value from culture. It is designed to let culture generate value for itself. The platform earns from the same pool as the community (1% treasury), so Sparkz' incentive is always aligned with community health. A dying community is a dying platform.
Founder authority decays.
Creator control decreases as the community matures. The creator launches, the community grows, and eventually the Hearth belongs more to the community than the creator. This is the goal. A Hearth that a creator controls forever has not achieved what Sparkz is for.

Zoostr (ZABAL × Boostr) is the first Hearth to graduate. 50+ people showed up for the culture before a token existed. The community pulled. The token came second. 50% of every $ZOOSTR trade goes to the community pool - claimed at splits.org, pull model, no deadline.
