Understanding Creator Coins
Creator Coins are profile-level coins on Zora, meaning that each account has its own coin. As creators post and fans engage, the demand for these coins increases. It's a simple and native way to support creators without middlemen, sponsors, or subscriptions.
How Creator Coins work:
Every Zora account has its own Creator Coin — your username becomes your ticker ($username), and every post you make is automatically paired to it. New users get one created automatically; existing users activate theirs the next time they post.
Each Creator Coin has a fixed supply of 1 billion coins, split evenly:
50% to the open market — instantly available to buy and sell
50% to the creator — vested linearly over 5 years
This keeps enough liquidity for active trading while aligning creators with the long-term growth of their profile. You earn 1% of every trade in $ZORA across your Creator Coin and all your posts, and supporters who buy in early share in the upside as your profile grows.
