On March 4, 2025, Zora officially announced the launch of its native token, $ZORA, set for Spring 2025. Alongside the launch, the platform will also distribute a retroactive airdrop to reward early adopters.
Zora is more than just an NFT marketplace; it operates as a media registry protocol designed to empower artists and content creators. By enabling them to collect royalties seamlessly and gain exposure, Zora fosters community building while challenging the exploitative practices of traditional creative industries.
Essentially, Zora functions as a Web3 social media platform where creators are directly rewarded for their work. As their content gains popularity, they receive greater benefits—marking a significant shift from the engagement-driven economy of Web2 platforms.
Zora has rapidly grown into a leading decentralized NFT platform, attracting over 2.4 million collectors and 618,000 creators. The platform has already:
- Distributed $27.7 million in rewards.
- Generated $376 million in secondary market trading volume.
