FAQ
How this all works.
The short version of everything on this site, in one place.
What is BLOOM?
A weekly vote. Anyone can submit a track (a "seed"), and each week the community votes on which one blooms. One vote per person, free, no purchase necessary — you just connect a wallet to prove you're one person voting once. Whoever wins the week is permanently archived in the hall of fame. At the end of the month, that month's weekly winners face off for Song of the Month.
Why do I need a wallet to vote? Does it cost anything?
Voting itself is free — connecting a wallet is just how BLOOM checks that a vote is coming from one real person instead of a script or a pile of throwaway accounts. No purchase, no gas fee charged by us, nothing to buy.
How do you stop people from cheating the vote?
It's an honor system first, with a real backstop: a cluster of brand-new wallets all voting the same way within minutes of each other gets thrown out automatically, and a wallet caught doing that in two separate weeks loses its vote permanently. Bring friends and family, not scripts.
I want to submit a song. What happens to it?
Submissions go through Seeds. You confirm you actually hold the rights to what you're submitting before it's accepted, and every submission is screened before it goes live. One submission per person per week.
What's the Belief Button / crypto tips about?
Everything on this site stays free to take. If you want to support the music directly, tips go straight to keeping it going — no cut, no middleman. Crypto payments are final once sent, so double-check the amount and network in your wallet before confirming.
What is Roots?
A fixed, one-time thing — 9,000 spots, ever, no subscription and no renewal. It's a belief given once in what's being built, not a stake or a claim on anything. Full details here.
What's the Land / DAO vision?
A long-term goal, not something that exists yet: real land, eventually held in trust rather than owned by any one person, built and stewarded by the people who showed up along the way. Read the full vision.
How do I stop getting emails?
Every email has an unsubscribe link at the bottom — one click and you're out, no account or login needed.
Something's wrong, or I need to reach a real person.
