Community Voting & Curation

Beyond raw metrics and on-chain data, SparkMint’s dApp Tournaments introduce a powerful layer of community-driven evaluation through decentralized voting and curation. This ensures that visibility and rewards aren’t dictated solely by usage stats, but also by user sentiment, social value, and grassroots support.

During each tournament cycle, $SPARK holders can vote for their favorite dApps by allocating tokens to them through an on-chain voting interface. These votes contribute to the app’s overall tournament score, either as a standalone factor or as a multiplier on performance-based rankings. This dual system balances quantitative growth with qualitative impact – making room for early-stage or community-loved projects to rise.

To maintain integrity, SparkMint implements:

• Anti-sybil mechanisms to prevent vote manipulation

• Weighted voting based on stake and activity history

• Transparent vote tracking viewable on-chain in real time

This curation layer turns every user into an active participant in the ecosystem’s direction. It also gives smaller or niche apps a platform to mobilize their communities and compete against larger players through community coordination and engagement.

Additionally, top voters may receive recognition, micro-incentives, or early access to new modules and features – aligning participation with platform growth. By embedding curation into the tournament flow, SparkMint ensures that innovation is not just measured by data, but validated by the people who use and believe in it.
