Sparrows are what you earn, hold, and give inside Lovelace — because a first message should mean you meant it.
You earn Sparrows by showing up — completing your profile, staying active, bringing people you trust. You spend them the moment you want to reach someone. They're yours: earned in the app, held in the app, and — when you're ready — the ones you earned can be carried out to $LILY, the token that lives on Cardano.
Complete and verify your profile
Stay active — matches, replies, showing up
Invite people who become real members
Reach streaks and milestones over time
Send at least one Sparrow to open a conversation
The other person accepts — and keeps it
Give Sparrows as gifts once you're talking
Gifted Sparrows stay in the app — they buy status and access, not cash
If a request is declined, your Sparrow comes back
Sending one is how you say "I'm serious."
Anyone can swipe. Spending a Sparrow costs a little, so it carries a little weight — enough to keep the noise, the bots, and the low-effort messages out, and to make the person on the other side worth answering. When they accept, the Sparrow is theirs, and the conversation is real.
Sparrows stay simple inside the app. The ones you earn — rewards, milestones, ambassador earnings — are real value, and you'll be able to carry them out to $LILY, the token on Cardano. Sparrows you receive as gifts are not cashable. They stay where they were given.
You never have to. Most people just earn Sparrows and spend them on the people they want to meet. The door to $LILY is there for when you want it — after verification, and only for what you earned.
Sparrows earned during the beta are tracked in the app. Earned Sparrows mature before they become eligible to leave, and verification is checked again at payout. $LILY transfer becomes available as the token goes live on Cardano.
