Say goodbye to long crypto addresses

Spark Names are user-friendly, human-readable aliases (e.g., @sparky) that can be registered to your privacy-preserving Spark Address on the Firo blockchain. They simplify transactions by replacing lengthy cryptographic addresses with easy-to-remember names

Unlike some alias systems where the alias is tied to a transparent address, Spark Names are linked to stealth Spark Addresses, which are not searchable on the blockchain. This means that sharing your Spark Name does not expose your transaction history, maintaining your financial privacy.

Yes, Spark Names allow you to attach metadata, such as social media handles, avatar URLs, or any other text-based data. This feature enables your Spark Name to serve as a decentralized digital identity, while still preserving transaction privacy.

The annual registration fee for a Spark Name is based on its length:
- 1 character: 1000 FIRO/year
- 2 characters: 100 FIRO/year
- 3–5 characters: 10 FIRO/year
- 6+ characters: 1 FIRO/year
‍This tiered pricing reflects the scarcity of shorter names and helps prevent name squatting.

All fees from Spark Name registrations are directed to Firo's Community Fund, managed by a community-elected committee. These funds support various initiatives, including audits, community projects, exchange listings, and development tasks within the Firo ecosystem.

Yes, Spark Names require periodic renewal to maintain ownership. This system discourages inactive holders from monopolizing valuable aliases and ensures that names remain available for active users. Users can pre-purchase multiple years in advance if desired.
