Cryptoart

Collectors are willing to pay 3$ to mint your art but you only get 1$ from it

I’ve “sold” more than 1k pieces on Zora. 
People spent 3000$ but i didnt even earn half of it..

Isnt the blockchain supposed to get rid of the middle man..?

Yes this 100% 

I don’t get Zora at all. It’s no different to Manifold + (marketplace) except that there are points to earn and a totally different chain 

What’s the solution?

Its very different than manifold actually 

Zora protocol is built to enhance discovery, but it has a hidden “cost”

You have to give up a portion of the fees

Read the convo i had with @proxystudio.eth in this same cast, i think it can be helpful to understand this a little better

Yeah i suck at words lol thats why i said “cost” ahaha forgive me, English is not my first language

i wouldn't say hidden cost, but yes - zora is optimized for discovery and distribution. more people minting, and more people minting your nfts. 

it is not optimized to maximize artist profits per token minted

Thank you! 

Yes I know it’s very different to Manifold … but not in value prop, more in back-end 

I get that they are “optimised for discovery” but that’s what all marketplaces are about
