1/ Zora's new mobile app is a big deal

Imagine if you got paid every time people liked your posts on Instagram. And imagine if you could bring your content and follower graph to every other app by default.

This is what @zora's delivering by building onchain. More on why we're so excited 🧵

2/ Zora is both a credible creator-first alternative to social media, and a fundamentally new onramp to crypto.

Creators just post and get paid. Collectors can load up their wallets with ApplePay and start minting. No crypto experience required.

Here's how they do it 👇

4/ Wallet infra 🦾

Zora is pioneering the modern account abstraction tech stack. Upon singup, they provision Privy embedded wallets as signers on Coinbase Smart Wallets in order to sponsor gas on mints, batch transactions, and much more!

Everything's invisible to the user ✨

5/ Payments 💰

Zora invented an in-app currency "Sparks" (✧, or one millionth of 1 ETH), which can be purchased via in-app purchases. Each mint costs ✧111, and once you have sufficient ✧ balance, you simply double tap content you like to mint.

Cash-outs are simple too!

6/ This mobile app is onchain UX unlike anything we've seen, and Zora's just getting started.

We've had a blast supporting this incredible team as they've reimagined what's possible onchain, and we're so proud to continue innovating alongside them.

3/ Mobile app 📱

This is a AAA consumer app. Sign up via email, link your farcaster/insta to automatically have friends and a customized feed, upload content directly from your phone's camera, and so many of your other favorite consumer app features.
