How do I buy Sparks on the Zora App?

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

A Spark is a token that can be redeemed to cover the mint fee for any NFT on Zora, denominated in Ether (ETH). Learn more about Zora minting fees here. (Fun fact: under the hood, Sparks themselves are also NFTs!)

When you mint 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 per our Protocol Rewards. Currently, Sparks can only be used to acquire NFTs that do not have a list price.

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

Once purchased, your Sparks will never expire, even if Zora’s minting fee were to change in the future.

1. Open the Zora App on your device.

2. Tap on the "✧" icon on the top right of your screen.

3. Tap "Buy Sparks"

4. Confirm your in-app purchase using Apple Pay.

   • If you have not previously added a credit or debit card to Apple Pay, you will be prompted to do so.

5. Once your purchase is confirmed, your Sparks will be automatically added to your balance, and you will receive an email with a receipt.

You can now use your Sparks to collect a post on the Zora App!
