The decentralized social + financial protocol turning creators, posts, and profiles into tradable creator coins on-chain.
Zora is creator economy on steroids: every post and profile is a token (ERC-20 coin) you can trade like a memecoin or NFT. No middlemen - creators earn 1% fee on every trade of their coin. Native token $ZORA (10B max supply) powers minting, fees, and governance.
Buybacks
All protocol revenue fuels $ZORA buybacks - built-in price support.
Fee Split (1% trading fee):
50% β Creator (direct earnings)
20% β Locked liquidity (Uniswap V4)
20% β Referrals (devs, platforms)
4% β Trader rewards
5% β Treasury β market buybacks of $ZORA
Flywheel: more trades β more fees β more buybacks β $ZORA pumps.
Creator Coins are the core of Zora - ERC-20 tokens tied to real people (creators) that trade like memecoins but with built-in monetization. Every profile on Zora = 1 unique Creator Coin (1B supply). Posts can become Content Coins (separate tokens).
Details:
50% - Creator: 5-year linear vesting
17% - Market: Available for buy/sell from day 14
17% - Market: Available for buy/sell from day 1
Zora has begun buying creator coins for its Believe Fund, allocating 20 million $ZORA for this purpose.

Tips & rewards paid in $ZORA
Now let's take a look at the top creator coins:
1) $docker - Is a community based collective dedicated to discovering, supporting, and amplifying creators on Zora.
2) $propaganda - Is like a mini App eco within full of dapps the creators will use and make content about when each one pops off.
3) $coinage - The first community-owned Web3 media outlet.
4) $ZXBT - Autonomous AI artist (from @dev0xx ), daily on-chain art gen + mint as Content Coin.
5) $11am - A daily live show for the new class of internet investors.
6) $zoratv - Official Zora livestream channel.
7) I'll also share a rather interesting creator coin launch that went quietly. This is $joinedgecity. Vitalik follows since 2023 and EF: $180k grants. Maybe nothing. DYOR.
In summary, some consider creator coins to be an artificial meta, while others consider them revolutionary. I believe this is an experiment worthy of attention. Creator coins can become a personal brand in the form of a token, a financial asset tied to reputation.
Believe in something!
