Recently, @zora launched a new app version with content coins.

Imagine an Instagram-like feed where every piece can be traded as erc-20.

Some ideas are great in theory but hard to execute.

Pros and cons of the pivot:
- Before, people collected art; now it feels different.
- Now you can feel the money loss.
- NFT metadata differs from ERC-20 tokens.
- Creators may earn more with speculators pushing the token.
- They need top-tier creators, but viral content is unlikely.
- We're tired of gambles.

Given Solana's history, we lack good tokens, narratives, and strong holders.

Tokenizing everything fragments liquidity and attention. If Pump executes it, it might work, but without speculative pmf, traction is unlikely.

$99,856 earned by 7,990 unique creators—lower than other platforms.

For success, the "runners" rate should be 0.5-1%.

I like that someone tried this scale; it helps me verify assumptions as a founder.

Of course, it can be profitable, but can it become a unicorn? Time will tell.

who can explain me why?

is it working or not?

if not, what's wrong?

It's another way for individuals with large audiences to monetize that audience.

We see a few projects attempt to deploy via it, but why wouldn't you go with a Clanker or Clanker Interface to get 40% of fees (or 60% via /glanker Deployment 😉)? 

I think the biggest disconnect is presenting it as 'for creators' when really all it does is make their creations worth an incredibly small fraction of a cent.

As a tool to fractionalize things, it does that fine. But I don't think this is a tool that really supports the creators it's asking to use it, & rather serves the infrastructure that ends up with the volume.

Look at profit splits, how they pay out, & how they support users and it'll tell you if a project is aimed to be extractive/parasitic, or generative/symbiotic

Clankers pay out 50% in WETH & 50% in Creator Token, so a creator doesn't need to hit their floor to realize profit. They can then choose to burn or use the tokens for marketing.

Zora keeps the WETH & gives the Creators just their token.

You get a certain chunk of your own coin’s supply at the time of launch as well. Then the 1% on every trade

did not know zora is giving 1% of the tokens only, not communicated properly enough

@zora is that true?
