sparkies

you share a ride.
we pay you.

that’s what sparkies are: what you earn for sharing a ride with naiss, whether you drive or ride along. then they turn into euros and go to your bank. 18 and over.

what it does

so who pays for this?

energy companies. the law makes them save energy, and one way to comply is to buy certified savings. sharing a ride saves energy, and that saving can be certified: we certify it, sell it and pay you. it’s an official scheme, regulated by the ministry. you don’t pay anything, and neither do your friends.

sparkies

step by step

  1. share a ride

    whether you drive or ride along, everyone in the car needs naiss. record the ride in the app while you travel together: the app checks that you really shared it.

  2. earn sparkies

    you need to be 18 or over and verify your identity once. if the ride qualifies, sparkies show up in your wallet. sometimes we ask a few questions about the ride: answer them soon.

  3. turn them into euros

    once they have a price, or once we pay them in advance, you request the transfer in the app and the money goes to your bank. there’s a minimum to request one and the bank charges a flat fee: both figures are in the app.

why sparkies

why sparkies and not euros from the start?

because that way you get more.

other apps

a fixed price, set low

they promise you a fixed figure before they know what your saving is worth. if it ends up worth more, the difference isn’t yours.

naiss

a piece of the pie

we don’t promise you a lowball figure. the price comes from what the saving actually sells for: we split it across all the sparkies in the batch, minus our share.

how a sparkie gets its price

what the batch’s saving sells for minus naiss’s share, divided by all the sparkies in the batch, gives the price of each sparkie

if the batch is worth more, your sparkie is worth more. if it’s worth less, it’s worth less. we do well when you do well: we’re in the same boat.

so why don’t we know the price up front?

because when you take the ride, nobody knows yet what it’s worth: the rules decide how much saving counts and the sale decides the price. instead of making up a lowball figure, we give you sparkies as soon as the ride is confirmed and price them when the batch gets paid.

why you earn more with naiss

for the same certified energy savings, you take home around 60% more.

other apps

sharing has value. we return most of what we receive for certified energy savings and use a share to keep the app, servers and team running. the aim is for that share to keep getting smaller.

work it out

so what is that today?

≈ €0.069per sparkie, today’s estimate

passengers
1
the driver
≈ €0.6910 sparkies
each passenger
≈ €0.6910 sparkies

each passenger earns sparkies for the km they share and splits them half and half with the driver. so the more of you there are, the more the driver earns.

not a promise: it’s already in people’s balances

so you don’t wait months, we pay each batch’s estimated price in advance with our own money. an advance is final: if certification later pays more or less, the difference is ours.

  • advancedOct 1, 2026rides from August 1 to 15€0.070 per sparkie
  • advancedOct 1, 2026rides from July 16 to 31€0.067 per sparkie
  • advancedSep 15, 2026rides from July 1 to 15€0.075 per sparkie
  • advancedSep 1, 2026rides from June 1 to 30€0.070 per sparkie

it’s an estimate: the real price is set when the batch gets paid, and it can go up or down. that it isn’t fixed is exactly what lets us give you more: we don’t knock off a cushion just in case.

assumes everyone rides the whole way and qualifies.

a closer look

when do i get paid?

a batch’s saving takes time to certify and get paid, sometimes months. so you don’t wait that long, we usually pay you in advance ourselves. the dates for each advance are in the app.

can they be lost?

the ones you earn don’t expire. but they’re lost if the ride is cancelled for not qualifying, or if something of yours (a survey or verifying yourself) is still pending when the batch has already been sent. and if the driver forgives what you owed for a ride, your half of those sparkies goes to them.

is it a cryptocurrency?

no. sparkies can’t be bought, sold or passed to anyone. they just keep count of your share until it has a euro price. and they’re not the same as splitting fuel: that’s separate, in tabs.

your questions, answered

sparkies

see all help
do sparkies expire?

no. once earned they stay in your wallet until they're turned into euros and you cash out.

what sparkies are
can i send sparkies to a friend?

no. they're tied to the km you personally travelled, so they can't be transferred.

what sparkies are
why do i have to wait?

we gather enough savings and send them for certification through delcae. review and payment follow. we need enough volume, and each step takes time. it can take months.

when and how you get paid
the wallet says "ready to cash out", have you paid me?

not yet. it means they're priced and yours, but the money moves once you request the transfer.

when and how you get paid
what is a batch?

the group of rides we send to the ministry together. once yours joins one, you'll see its number (batch 1, batch 2...) in the ride detail.

what each stage and state means
what does "in review" mean?

we're checking that ride by hand before we decide. it isn't a no, and there's nothing for you to do.

what each stage and state means
do i have to publish the trip to earn sparkies?

no. publishing the photo is just the social part. what you do need is to answer the trip questions when we ask.

my trip shows zero
i answered the survey and it's still zero

give it about 30 minutes from when the driver stops driving. if it's still zero after a while, message us and we'll look at it together.
