How Creators Earn on Zora
Zora is built so creators earn passively as their audience grows — no sponsorships, no middlemen.
1. Trading Rewards
Every time someone buys or sells one of your coins, you earn 1% of the trade value in $ZORA, paid instantly to your Zora wallet. This applies to:
Your Creator Coin (your profile-level coin)
Every post coin you've created
Posts you've paired to a tag — you earn on tag trades too
You don't need to do anything to receive these rewards. They accumulate automatically as long as people are trading your coins.
2. Selling your coin allocation
When you create a coin, you receive a creator allocation. You can sell some or all of this over time as buyers come in. Consider your timing — selling a large portion early can affect your coin's market cap and signal to potential buyers.
To make this easier, you can set up autosell to automatically sell a portion of your allocation on a schedule you control. See [Understanding Autosell] for details.
3. Referral Rewards
If someone signs up to Zora through your referral link and starts trading, you earn a share of their trade fees. See How do I earn the Trade Referral Rewards? for details.
