Zora

Update: activity tab on profiles.

See what trades people are making in one spot.

Update: we've added creator coin trades into the @zora feed. 

Seeing what your friends are buying is a great way to discover new people on the platform.

A social network for the new creator economy.

my least scientific belief is that there are simply cosmically bad days for technology

The next big thing is TBD. Discover trending tokens on base. Live now at tbd dot market.

Awesome to see some trading terminals being built on @zora coins.

interesting that the majority of top creator coins on @zora are still all crypto-native. really goes to show you that each paradigm shift has its own culture that previous cultures clash with. same happened for early internet, and it was internet-native creators that beat out traditional celebrities over the long run.

ok, I finally took the plunge and activated my @zora creator coin. I've been a power user of zora for more than 3 years, through all its many iterations, and I'm ready to give this version a fair shake too. 

@jacob said something to me a little while back that made me a lot more comfortable with the concept of coining as a creator, which is that (paraphrasing) maybe digital content is less about tokenizing ownership, and more about tokenizing the attention around that content. 

Zora's grasp of the zeitgeist is unmatched, and so as a creator, I would be remiss not to try and participate in the attention-tokenization of the content that I create. And so, I "pressed the button." 

Actually, I did it last night but didn't say anything publicly because I figured there might be opportunistic snipers at play, and well, I was right. Someone bought a huge percentage of supply immediately upon launch from an unapologetically named zora account called "snipe" (can't make this shit up lmao) but they seem to have already rugged all but 2% overnight and despite it painting a v ugly chart, this feels like a better starting point to build. 

I will be treating this purely as a creator experiment and coining visual and video art and content that I make from time to time to spin the flywheel and see where it goes. GLHF 🫡

After careful consideration and follow-up conversation with the cabal. I'm reactivating my presence on @Zora

Happy Christmas

(Might reactivate something else too if you guys behave)

“my zora is going crazy right now. it pays to post.” - our @nouncoffee barista ☻

it's neat that they used Sparks as the collect icon

creators’ content is valuable and I like seeing multiple teams experimenting with different ways to monetize it!!

Been thinking about this too. It’s interesting that we’ll be able to see both models compete head to head in real-time.

I think it'll be more complimentary vs. competitive.

We've seen many instances of a memecoin + 1/1 of the same thing work. 

Dogecoin (>$10Bs) + Doge 1/1 (~$4M, sold on zora btw)
WIF (>$Bs) + WIF 1/1 ($~1M)

Intersting selling point for Base app in this context is it gives you access to both models at once.

If i cast from base will it also be a collectable on farcaster?

Start:

1/1s: capture top end demand, miss long tail, limited secondary + no royalty enforcement

So then you do:

Editions: capture more demand, limited secondary + royalties, can't easily buy after original mint

Then you do:

Coins: anyone can buy any amount at any time forever with a % on trades to creator

Then you do:

Creator coins: solve the dilution and fragmentation of new supply (can be coins, nfts, anything) by giving a single coin to aggregate all of them across platforms

Then you do:

New: Collectibles! 

Support your favorite creators by collecting their casts onchain. Each cast can be turned into a unique, 1-of-1 collectible. Just tap the new "collect" icon on a cast to get started. 

Casts can be collected starting at $1. If there are multiple collectors, it goes to the highest bidder. Creators get 90% collectible earnings, and the remaining 10% goes to the protocol rewards. 

We’re excited about collectibles for a few reasons: 
1. Creators earn directly from their audience
2. New creators can earn on their first day
3. Users get to collect a unique piece of Farcaster history

Collectibles will go live tomorrow morning around 9am PT. We're announcing this early so people can be ready to collect their favorite casts when the feature is live!

We’ve never had a better shot at bringing all content on-chain w/ @coinbasewallet and @zora combined 

1. base app is about to bring in a steady inflow of creators and consumers who are new to crypto.
2. zora is best at serving its early community of power users and design savvy collectors.

But we're still early in addressing the different stakeholders—consumers, creators, speculators—with clients specifically designed for their various goals

Very curious to see who else is exploring new methods of consuming, buying, and trading content?

We’ve built an SDK, feed template, and guide so that builders can let their creativity run free and create personalized experiences with content coins.

note: covering content coined on Base App and Farcaster fo now. we’ll soon expand to the entire Zora protocol.

bro just wanted to say i’m loving zora. it’s all officially clicked for me. unreal

great job

Paragraph

It's been one week since we began rolling out coins on Paragraph.

Since then:
- 400 coins were created
- $40k of coin value is vesting to creators
- we've paid out $7k in txn fees to creators
- coins generated over $1.3m in trading volume 

With coins, we're beginning to get glimpses of what a new economic model for writers can look like -- a better way to earn off your ideas, without paywalling or ads.

Very excited to continue building in this direction.

Love seeing Paragraph migrating to Coins. 

If they add the ability to pair essays with my existing creator coin I’ll definitely publish there.
