Zora
A media L2 centered on NFTs and creator coins.
Zora began as an NFT marketplace and opened its own L2 in June 2023. It now centres on creator coins: a post, picture or video becomes a coin that can be traded.
The ZORA token launched in 2025. Fees are paid in ETH.
Zora pioneered on-chain media finance by turning every post, image, or video into an instantly tradable token or open edition. By moving to its own low-cost OP Stack L2, it made micro-collecting and cultural minting economically viable.
Protocol fees generated whenever a piece of media is collected or traded are automatically split with the original creator, offering an on-chain monetization model that does not rely on traditional advertising.
