The Vision
Sparkle Protocol enables instant, low-cost trading of Bitcoin Ordinals by bridging Spark Layer-2 payments with Bitcoin Layer-1 NFT ownership. This solves the fundamental problem of high fees and slow settlement in NFT trading.
Why This Matters
- For Traders: Trade NFTs for pennies instead of dollars
- For Creators: Lower barriers to entry for new collections
- For the Ecosystem: Proves cross-layer coordination is possible
Technical Innovation
Unlike failed attempts to place NFTs inside payment channels (impossible), Sparkle Protocol keeps NFTs on Bitcoin while using Spark for instant payments.
Key Components
- Bitcoin L1: Stores the actual NFT data
- Spark L2: Handles instant payments
- Bridge Protocol: Coordinates atomic swaps
- Smart Contracts: Ensures trustless trading
