# Just 5 days of using Zora (again): Here’s what I made from posting tweet screenshots

By [Signal Compounders](https://paragraph.com/@fipcrypto) · 2025-07-28

Zora has become the hottest onchain creator platform right now.

Most would ignore it because of the drama-filled airdrop.

But as a creator, this could unlock another monetisation source for creators.

I gave it another shot, and here’s my full experience after 5 days (as well as my concerns about creator coins):

* * *

How Zora works
--------------

Each creator has 2 types of coins:

*   Creator coin (only 1)
    

![](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/af175568152538be8fbb88b4d812f733.png)

*   Post-level coins
    

![](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/95e7467dd98954206270a4ea65b9bd7f.png)

The post coins are similar to the custom ERC20 tokens we created previously, but these are now all done without paying gas fees.

But now, all of these post coins are tied to the value of our Creator coin.

Which in turn increases the value of ZORA.

Zora is a cryptonative social network.  
  
We've designed and implemented a simple and powerful token system.  
  
\+ $posts paired with $creator  
\+ $creators paired with $zora  
  
You can choose to hold and trade at whatever level you'd like: the posts, the creators, the whole system.

This creates the flywheel:

*   Traders buy a creator’s post coin
    
*   Value of post coin goes up, increasing the creator coin’s market cap
    
*   ZORA increases in value too

Haven’t touched [@zora](https://twitter.com/zora) in ages, but looks like creators could benefit from another monetisation source with creator coins.  
  
I’m not sure how text-based posts would perform here, but I’ll try a few and share my results (after I get on [@baseapp](https://twitter.com/baseapp) too).

_It’s possible to buy the creator’s coin too, instead of owning an individual post._

This unlocks new revenue streams for creators:

* * *

Earning on Zora
---------------

Here are the tokenomics of each coin:

**Creator coins**

*   1 billion supply
    
*   50% available on the open market
    
*   50% available to the creator (but gets streamed to the creator linearly over 5 years)
    

**Post-level coins**

*   1 billion supply
    
*   1% available to creators
    

And here’s how we earn:

*   Traders buy Creator or Post-level coins, so your supply increases in value
    
*   Fees generated from trading, earned in ZORA (1% out of the 3% trading fee per swap)
    

![](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/ce17047e766534c81b4c016768a8bd11.png)

There were concerns about how we need to dump our Creator/Post-level coins to earn revenue from our posts, but the primary way we can do it is through Creator fees.

The Base team doesn’t advise us to dump our coins too, as it’s more like cashing out on those who supported us:

Totally hear you Brooke, and thank you for the honest feedback. To clarify, when posts are coined, creators earn in two ways:  
  
1\. Creator earnings from trading: Every time your coin is bought or sold, you earn a fee (paid in wETH, soon USDC). It goes straight to your wallet.  
2.

But why would anyone even want to buy our coin in the first place?

It’s ultimately a transfer of value:

Traders or supporters would purchase your coins because you gave value to them first.

I believe that content is incredibly valuable and that we can build new systems that return that value to the hundreds of millions of creators who create it.

My content strategy on Zora
---------------------------

It’s likely a disadvantage for me to post on Zora since most of my posts are text-based.

_While Zora is more of the Instagram/TikTok of Web3._

Zora is an open protocol (with rev share built in for devs) that anyone can build on: which means it can eventually be applied to any content types

My haul so far
--------------

Just after launching my Creator coin, it saw some addresses buying and eventually selling my coin.

![](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/4dba87f4a5ed6a46cda074a5bda9f268.png)

This is similar to FriendTech or even memecoins where there’ll be some wash trades whenever a new account or coin is launched.

_Thanks @CdeBurner for being my top holder._

I’ve also experienced some wash trading when I published my posts too:

Some users would buy both my Post-level and Creator coins before eventually selling both.

![](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/c02339dd39b422fe1343463360713248.png)

_They’re doing it at a loss either, so I’m not sure why they’re doing these wash trading either._

All in all, I’ve made:

*   $6.44 in ZORA (trading fees on my Creator and Post-level coins)
    
*   $0.08 in my own Creator coin (I have more that I did not claim yet)
    
*   $2.66 in my Post-level coins
    

![](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/7413cec5b25312d1423d28676f3d6e54.png)

We can see how much each individual post earns us in trading fees.

![](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/2bd899c6484331e25eca50df0cc2cc47.png)

In comparison, I’m earning around $42-$174 every 2 weeks with Twitter (but that’s after hitting the 5 million impressions milestone).

Creator monetisation is too volatile to rely on as a source of income.  
  
But so long as it covers my Premium+ subscription, it's good enough for me.  
  
There are other ways to monetise beyond just ad revenue.

So it’s a pretty decent amount, though most of it likely came from wash trading.

It’s nice to get an additional income stream as a creator, but at what cost?

My concerns about Zora

Creator coins are a great flywheel for creators who benefit from being viral:

But here are some of my concerns:

### The platform is full of dopamine hits

But right now, the focus feels more like on dopamine hits rather than long-term value.

_Especially when virality is being encouraged._

All over my feed, I see dollar signs and up/down arrows, with prices being thrown at me everywhere.

![](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/32467a4c28e67f532a4658ce1ca301f9.png)

We have seen the extent which others would go to make their content viral (like with PumpFun):

So I believe that long-term value should be the key message instead of virality.

That’s why I prefer @paragraph\_xyz’s stance of using less financialised terms like “support”.

### Not much value of a coin beyond a collectible

There’s tons of hype over Zora right now, but will it truly be successful in the long run?

The 3% fee on every trade is pretty hefty, and traders who want to make a profit on their coins need to wait for a significant price increase.

At this point, there’s nothing extremely valuable about owning a coin except for it being just a collectible.

Creators earn 90% of the bid amount and it's another way to monetise our content (if it's valuable enough to our audience).

Farcaster's Collectibles now lets anyone bid for a post (starting from $1).

There have been tons of discussions over whether content is valuable or not:

Fundamental value is external and independent of buys or sells. The buys and sells are price discovery to figure out fundamental value. If these coins have any fundamental value then creators dumping them would be good for retail because presumably retail would be able to buy

The reality is that you are relying to be early on some coin X that some creator can cause to go viral so you can sell after it’s gone viral and before the virality dies down. The only “fundamental” thing here is that the creator can burn their reputation keep it viral as long as

Ultimately, I believe coins will evolve into either of these:

*   Support coins: Ways for fans to support creators they value (similar to Patreon)

True. Put another way: fundamental/intrinsic value doesn’t exist (in content, nor in anything else). All value is subjective and just a model of what others are willing to pay.

*   Utility coins: Assets that share revenue generated from trading the creator’s Post-level and Creator coins
    

Coin holders are fully aligned with the creator, and they could benefit from the creator’s growth.

Who knows if airdrops could be rewarded to holders of certain creator coins?

Exactly, and it's also like supporting your favorite content creator.  
  
Imagine this: what if a project approached me for collaboration and rewarded my holders with an airdrop? Instead of being transactional, it would become more integrated.  
  
Just saying; the possibilities are

There are many ways for value to be accrued to these holders even though it’s not explicitly stated by Zora.

Creator tokens are not something new, and we’ve seen multiple ones like XCAD’s fan tokens failing to gain traction.

_They’ve now pivoted to launching AI influencers instead._

Coins are still in their early stages, and there’ll likely be more changes to the entire model.

### The risk of creators dumping

Coin buyers take on a lot of risk since the creator has a supply of every coin:

The creator can dump at any time with their supply, and the buyers are trusting that they won’t do that.

Again, this all depends on whether the creator wants to:

*   Extract as much value as they can with whatever social capital they have and cash out immediately
    
*   Play the long-term game with their coins and continue adding value
    

A more sustainable approach could be to add penalties when the creator sells early:

Those who are fully aligned with their holders will receive the most value from their coin.

### Use case of its L2?

Zora actually has its own L2, which is powered by Conduit.

But it has completely shifted to Base with the @baseapp integration, leading to even more congestion on the L2.

Unpopular opinion:  
  
[@zora](https://twitter.com/zora) ruined Base.  
  
I can't do any votes or anything requiring on-chain input on [@ethos\_network](https://twitter.com/ethos_network) without paying 10 cents a tx because of the congestion  
  
How do we solve this, shouldn't Zora have its own chain?  
  
Why is this not being used?

I’m not sure what the use case of their L2 is anymore, since they’re likely going to be Base native as of now.

But despite all these concerns, I still think it's worth interacting for now:

Be open-minded and try new things
---------------------------------

I believe it’s still worth using Zora now even with its flaws.

The whole idea is still early and it’ll likely change along the way (just like Kaito).

Zora will likely boost the visibility of your content more during this ‘awareness phase’ so that you’re incentivised to continue using the platform.

The monetisation is an added bonus, but my priority is to take advantage of this extra content discovery source.

Also, use Zora as Instagram.  
  
Distribute your creator coin on @farcaster using [@noicedotso](https://twitter.com/noicedotso).  
  
Also, use Farcaster to build communities through a channel.

**So if you have the time, it doesn’t hurt to post your content on Zora and see what comes out of it.**

Being early to new narratives has given me a decent return, so I plan to continue repurposing my posts and see what comes out of it.
