Understanding Rewards on Zora

Zora's mission is to bring creativity onchain, and we're committed to providing the best tools and features to help creators earn sustainably from their work. Our Rewards enable creators and developers on Zora to earn a share of the mint fees automatically.

The total mint fee on Zora is ✧111 (0.000111 ETH) for each post collected. Follow along below for our breakdown of the Zora Mint Fee and how it is split among creators, collectors, developers, builders, and Zora.

• Creator Rewards: ✧55 (0.0000555 ETH)

• Secondary Market Fee: ✧22 (0.0000222 ETH)

• Mint Referral Rewards: ✧11 (0.0000111 ETH)

• Create Referral Rewards: ✧11 (0.0000111 ETH)

• Zora Fee: ✧11 (0.0000111 ETH)

This is the primary reward earned by the creator of the post. Whenever someone mints your post, you automatically receive this reward.

Who receives it:

• The original creator who made the post on Zora

• This applies whenever your post is minted

This fee provides liquidity for the post's secondary market, enabling continuous trading opportunities after the initial mint period ends. You can read more about how Secondary Markets work in our Secondary Markets on Zora support article.

This rewards users and platforms that showcase posts made with Zora's Creator Toolkit, either on Zora or elsewhere. The referrer earns a reward for each NFT minted through their shared link.

Who receives it:

• Users who share mint links

• Users who get mints through their minting activity

• Alternative clients that let collectors mint on their app

This reward is earned on each mint by those who have invited users to Zora OR by platforms/developers that have used the Zora Creator Toolkit.

Who receives it:

• Users who invite their friends to create on Zora

• Alternative clients that facilitate creating their app

This is Zora's platform fee that helps support the ongoing development and maintenance of the platform.

When a post is priced in an alternative token instead of ETH, the fee structure changes to:

• Creator Earnings = 95% of mint price

• Mint fee = 5% of the mint price - This 5% fee is split further as:

  • Zora Fee: 42.86% of the mint fee

  • Mint Referral Reward: 28.57% of the mint fee

  • Create Referral Reward: 28.57% of the mint fee
