What are zaps?

Zap on Fountain to send a payment and optional message to podcasts, artists and other listeners

On Fountain you can show your appreciation for clips, comments and playlists by other listers by sending likes. On social media, likes are worth a short-lived dopamine hit. On Fountain, when other listeners like your comments, playlists or clips, you get paid.

Every time you tap the like button, you are sending money. The default amount is 10 sats, but you can set a custom like amount. Go to Settings from the Main Menu then tap through to Value for Value.

When another user likes one of your clips, comments or playlists, the sats will be sent to your Fountain wallet and you will get a notification. The content you liked will also be seen by users who follow you in their home feed.
