What are zaps?
Zap on Fountain to send a payment and optional message to podcasts, artists and other listeners
A zap is a one-time payment sent over Lightning from your Fountain wallet, with an optional message attached. You can zap podcasts, artists and other listeners to show your support. The money arrives instantly.
To zap a podcast or track, tap the zap button in the player, choose an amount, and add a message if you like. Your message appears against the episode, so the show and other listeners can see it. The minimum zap is 100 sats.
To change your default zap amount, open the Main Menu and press Settings.
Fountain charges a 4% fee on zaps, reduced to 1% with Fountain Premium. You can learn more in How do I support podcasts and music on Fountain? and How do fees work on Fountain?.
