How Creators Earn on Zora

Zora makes it easy for creators to earn with a free balance to trade on each coin created and passive rewards on all market activity.

The most direct way for creators to earn is to trade their own coins. Here's how it works:

• When you create a coin, you automatically receive 10 million coins for free

• You can sell your coins on the market to earn ETH.

• You CANNOT sell your coins immediately. You’ll need to wait for others to start buying them to build the liquidity required to begin selling.

• You can buy more of your coin at any time, including during the creation of your coin before it’s launched. Buying during this time gives you the best price.

• TIP: Selling too many of your coins too early can discourage future trading and reduce long-term earning potential.

Creators also earn passive rewards whenever people trade their coins. There are two types of creator rewards:

Trade rewards

• Earn 0.5% of the trade value in ETH on every trade that happens on Zora.

• This does NOT apply to trades on other platforms

Market rewards

• For buys: Creators earn 0.5% of the trade value in ETH

• For sells: Creators earn 0.5% of the trade value in the creators' own coin

• This only applies to trades on your coin’s initial Uniswap market (the market created when your coin launches)
