A New Creator Economy, Unlocked

One coin for your whole profile. 

Creator Coins are a way to participate in the new creator economy—one where users trade on attention, creativity, and cultural momentum. Whether you're posting or trading, your activity shapes the value of a profile in real time.


What are Creator Coins?

Creator Coins are profile-level tokens on Zora, meaning that each account now 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:

  • One coin per profile: Your username becomes your ticker ($username).

  • Activation: Coins are created automatically for new users. Existing users activate the next time they post.

  • Post-level pairs: All new posts are automatically paired with your Creator Coin ($username).

  • Fixed supply: 1B total per coin.

    • 50% to the creator, automatically rewarded over 5 years

    • 50% instantly available to be bought and sold on the open market

  • Earn 1% with every trade: Earn $ZORA from trade activity at the post and creator level.

  • Find creator coins on profiles: Coins appear in profiles and wallets along with easy stats like volume, supply, and holders. 

Each post means more visibility to your creator coin. The more attention it gets, the more active the market for your creator coin becomes.


Why it Matters

This is the first time a creator earns across posts, creators, and the platform.

Each post and trade fuels the momentum of your profile. And for the first time, fans benefit too. The people who believe in you early can signal support and share in the upside of your growth.

The attention economy is flipped:

  • Creators earn instantly in $ZORA. No extra requirements.

  • Supporters share in the virality they help create.

  • The value of engagement is felt across the whole system.

This is the new creator economy. Open, free, and valuable.
