On Zora, you can now buy Sparks with credit or debit cards, making collecting NFTs across all supported networks more manageable than ever!

Sparks are a token that can be redeemed to cover the mint fee for NFTs on Zora. Currently, Sparks can only be used to acquire NFTs that do not have a listing price Learn more about Zora minting fees here. (Fun fact: under the hood, Sparks themselves are also NFTs!)

When you go to buy Sparks, the funds you paid are automatically converted into ETH, then programmatically stored on the blockchain in a place only you control (a “smart contract”). You can take three actions with your Mint:

1. Use - Use the Sparks to acquire an eligible NFT on Zora.

2. Refund - Obtain a refund by redeeming (i.e. “burning” your Sparks) and reclaiming the ETH stored in the smart contract associated with a Spark

3. Transfer - You can transfer your Sparks to any third party. The right to use or refund the Sparks travels with the Sparks. This means that if you send Sparks to a friend, your friend will now have the right to refurn the Sparks for a refund of the ETH you originally paid of these Sparks.

When you acquire an NFT denominated in ETH using Sparks, you exchange the Sparks you purchased to cover the minting fee for the NFT. The minting fee is then distributed in accordance with our Protocol Rewards. 

**Using Sparks is gas-less, meaning you don't have to pay any gas fees**
