Understanding Your P&L

Edited

Zora now tracks your realized P&L, the profit or loss on trades you've made on Zora.


How does P&L work?

Zora calculates your realized P&L using a first-in, first-out method. When you sell a coin, the cost of your oldest buy is matched against the sale price first.

Example: You buy 100 of a coin at $0.01, then another 100 at $0.02. When you sell 100, Zora matches that sale against your first buy at $0.01, not the second.

Your P&L for each sale = what you received minus the cost of the matched buy. Your wallet-level P&L is the sum of all your per-coin P&L values.

You can find your total realized P&L at the top of the Activity tab in your wallet, with a per-coin breakdown listed below it.

Included in your realized P&L:

  • Buys and sells on Zora

  • Autosell transactions (calculated the same way as manual sells).

  • All coin types: Content Coins, Creator Coins, and Trends

Not included:

  • Coins you still hold (unrealized gains or losses)

  • Transfers (sending or receiving coins)

  • ETH and USDC positions

  • Trades on other platforms


FAQ

Why doesn't my P&L on Zora match my P&L on other platforms?

Your P&L on Zora might differ from other platforms because Zora uses its own onchain trade data rather than a third-party aggregator. Additionally, Zora includes Autosell transactions in your P&L.

Why is a coin missing from my P&L?

If Zora can't determine the cost basis for a coin (e.g., you received it through a transfer and then sold it), that coin is excluded from your total.

Does my P&L include ETH or USDC?

No, Zora doesn't include ETH or USDC trades in your P&L. Only Content Coins, Creator Coins, and Trends count towards your P&L.

Where can I find my P&L?

Your total realized P&L appears at the top of the Activity tab in your wallet. Each coin's individual P&L is listed below it.
