What is cross-chain minting?

Zora offers simplified minting and collecting across different blockchain networks. Thanks to our integration with Relay.link, a third-party tool developed by Reservoir, you now have the freedom to collect NFTs using ETH from any network we support—be it Ethereum Mainnet, Zora Network, Base, Optimism Mainnet, Blast, or Arbitrum— and still receive the NFT on the network where it originated.

Follow these simple steps to collect across different networks:

1. Visit the mint page of the NFT you would like to collect.

2. Click “Mint”.

3. By default, the payment method is set to the same network on which the NFT is created In the event you don’t have any ETH on that network,  your payment method will be set to the network on which you hold the most ETH. 

   (Note: Cross-chain minting is subject to additional fees. You can avoid these additional fees by paying with ETH from the same network as that of the NFT you wish to collect.)

4. Review the transaction details before proceeding. The expanded transaction details allow you to see the (i) NFT list price, (ii) Mint Fee, and (iii) Relay fee collected by the third-party payment technology provider, which together constitute the total amount you will pay in your preferred payment method.

5. Click “Mint” in the modal and sign to complete the transaction.

* By using ETH to purchase an NFT on another network, you agree to using Relay.link, an integrated third-party payment technology provider, to bridge your ETH to the network chosen by the creator for the NFT. Zora does not have any control over, and is not responsible for, the bridge services provided through Relay.link or the fees collected in connection thereto. Always do your own research and confirm the Relay.link fees before proceeding with the transaction. Visit Relay.link to learn more.

FAQ:

Are there any fees associated with cross-chain minting?

Zora collects a Mint Fee on all NFTs minted on our platform. Additionally, Reservoir collects a fee for any use of the cross-chain minting feature to complete a transaction, made available through the Relay.link integration. The fee associated with the use of the Relay.link integration is dynamically calculated at the time of transaction based on real-time liquidity conditions, and will always be presented to you prior to transaction confirmation. Please review transaction details carefully before confirming cross-chain transactions. 

Can I use ETH from any network?

You can use ETH from any network we support to pay for any NFT. We support Ethereum Mainnet, Zora Network, Base, Optimism, Arbitrum, and Blast.

Where can I track the details of my transactions?

After signing to complete the transaction, a new modal will appear to confirm that the item has been minted. Click on “Explorer” to review the onchain details of the transaction. You can use that transaction hash on https://relay.link/transactions/ and search for your transaction to see its real-time status.
