Zora is an on-chain social network and NFT protocol that reimagines how creators and communities interact online. Built on Ethereum and its own Layer 2 network within the Optimism Superchain, Zora enables users to create, collect, and share media directly on the blockchain. Every post is tokenized as a coin, turning content into an asset that can be traded while rewarding both creators and collectors. With its “Coins Protocol,” Zora supports creator-level and content-level tokens, giving creators built-in monetization tools without relying on centralized platforms.
