Zora didn't fail.
They executed the extraction model perfectly.
Step 1: Raise $60M on "Creator Ownership."
Step 2: Farm Base users for metrics to justify the valuation.
Step 3: Airdrop dust to the community while insiders keep the supply.
Step 4: Once the narrative dies, pivot to Solana and start over.
Base loyalists spent 2 years grinding for a protocol that just left them on read.
Call it what it is....
A pivot to liquidity.
