Zora

Zora is a company with a mission to make creating on the internet free and valuable. The company focuses on designing for people as creators, not products, and builds experiences that make creators feel supported and valued on their own terms. Zora aims to bring the world’s imagination onchain, allowing more people to realize the potential of their ideas. The company builds on Ethereum due to its alignment with Zora’s values, security, and scalability. Notable collaborations include Grimes’ Grimes Gen-1 project, COLORSxSTUDIOS’ bespoke platform, and Jack Butcher’s Checks collection. Coinbase has also chosen Zora for global marketing campaigns like Stand With Crypto, Base Introduced, and Base Day One. Zora facilitated the minting of the original Doge meme images, which sold for $4 million, making it the most expensive meme NFT. Other significant projects include Justin Aversano’s Twin Flames #49, Chuck Anderson’s ‘Pattern Recognition’ podcast, and James Jean’s Fragments series. Zora has acquired Mint Fun and operates internationally with a team spread across the globe. Zora’s Canvas service provides an interactive interface for creating, designing, editing, and minting digital art. The Zora Network, a layer-two optimistic rollup on the Ethereum blockchain, combines multiple transactions into batches and settles them in a compressed format, charging a transaction fee on each transaction.
