ZORBS by ZORA

Sometimes I see people upset that Zora artists use the term Free Mint to mean protocol fees only. 

It's just kind of the colloquial term we use because previous to protocol rewards artists set a price (usually at a min 10x the price of protocol rewards).

How do people feel about the term? Are there alternatives?

I think that people have too much time on their hands when this is something to get upset about ..

I think its misleading and should be adjusted.

$3 is not free and despite language that the protocol fee is separate - most people don't know or care enough to understand the difference.

I believe mints will trend towards $1 and be shown as such (whether in dollars of ETH).

Lower mint prices means more access.

feel like i saw someone use "f(r)ee mint" once and I liked it.

The terminology is not clear. As it’s not free. But I do get it. For instance moshi costs less to mint, I guess they cover the fees?

Maybe attaching somewhere this (only protocol fees) would make it a little more transparent?

I think it's not honest (I've used it too).

Free has an established meaning. Using it like that feels like an attempt to obfuscate those protocol fees by lumping them in with gas fees.

Main prob is that diff platforms have diff base tiers. Some share rewards with artists and others don't.

Base mint might work but confusion with base chain. Maybe fee mint? Or better yet, just state the damn price

Bit of a confusing eco really.

ZMint= “free” mint we had our own contract for pizzapeople.wtf so we were “cheaper than free”

How are they upset, i dono, thats just them sayin we want free fees and no rewards for the artists, might as well change the blockchain ownership protocols too lol

I'm not quite sure where to go with it, but I tried to mint my animation from the latest animation round, and .00007 was a bit too much for me, as dumb as it sounds, because I didn't have a quick way to buy eth. But I should be good once the round's over.

Interesting perspective. I've noticed that too. What do others think?

I get why “Free Mint” might be confusing, especially for newcomers. Maybe we could use “No Artist Fee Mint” to clarify that it’s only the protocol fee? It's all about making things more approachable while keeping the community-informed vibe strong. Any other suggestions or thoughts?
