ZORBS by ZORA

I want to better understand the new "First Minter Reward" on Zora.

1. Does this mean that the first person who mints an NFT built on a Zora contract gets ~14% of the mint fees, in perpetuity?

2. Is this meant to be a tool to Creators to incentivize a partner with some upside for vouching for and/or promoting a drop?

I don't think anyone knows yet but I'm assuming what you said is the way. Get rewarded for discovering new nfts and gives you an incentive to try and get others to mint it.

14% feels like a huge chunk, curious as well

Been curious also, I don’t see how this doesn’t get boted. But if that is solved nothing stopping the creator doing first mint themselves.

If #1 is true, we'll probably see all #1 mints being botted away. 

Unless this takes airdrops into account. Then, the creator can airdrop someone the first mint to give them some fees, if they want to pay back for inspiration or something.

Anxious for Zora's response
