# Issuance

[SPARKs ](/whitepaper/token-ecosystem/sparks.md)are issued monthly to all holders of a [SOUL](/whitepaper/token-ecosystem/soul-token.md) with a [level](/whitepaper/token-ecosystem/soul-token/traits.md) of 1 or greater. The number of SPARKs available for a holder to claim is determined by their SOUL's balance and level as follows:

$$
Monthly\ Sparks=Soul\ Level \* Soul\ Strength
$$

When a new round of SPARks are issued, SOUL holders can claim them for **free**, via the [w3meet mobile dApp](/whitepaper/w3meet-mobile-dapp.md). All available SPARKs will be claimed in a single gas-efficient transaction. Unclaimed SPARKs **will not roll over** into the next round - be sure to check in regularly to gain the maximum benefit available to community members!
