View company profile

Zora is at the forefront of redefining the creator economy through groundbreaking blockchain technology. Established in 2020, Zora has rapidly emerged as an innovative onchain social network and protocol, empowering users, creators, and brands to realize the true value of their digital content and online engagement. The platform is pioneering new ways for individuals to create, connect, and earn from their online lives, fostering a more equitable system for all participants. Through its innovative approach, Zora allows any content posted on its network to be transformed into tradable coins, enabling creators to earn a share of trading fees and referrers to benefit from user engagement they drive. This model fundamentally shifts the power dynamic, allowing creators to monetize their virality instantly and fans to profit by recognizing trending content early. Zora's core mission is to make internet creation both free and valuable, moving beyond traditional models where platforms extract value, to one where creative sovereignty is paramount and the inherent value in all ideas is recognized.

Built on Ethereum and leveraging Layer 2 solutions like the OP Stack, Zora provides a robust and scalable infrastructure optimized for NFTs and creative content. This technological foundation ensures fast, affordable transactions, with NFT minting costs often under $0.50, making digital ownership and monetization accessible to a broader audience. Zora's ecosystem encompasses a Layer 2 network, social applications, and NFT infrastructure, all designed to work cohesively. The platform's commitment to an open and shared internet is reflected in its design, which encourages experimentation and allows developers to build a myriad of integrations, from dApps and marketplaces to branded experiences and DAOs. By providing easy-to-use tools, Zora enables anyone to launch entire NFT collections and independent marketplaces, fostering a vibrant and dynamic digital economy. The recent launch of the $ZORA token on the Base chain further enhances the platform's utility, serving as a memecoin that aligns incentives across the community and rewards participation in the burgeoning creator economy. Zora is not just an NFT marketplace; it's a comprehensive ecosystem dedicated to empowering the next generation of digital creativity and ownership.
