How to enable your Creator Coin

Edited

Creator Coins are profile-level coins on Zora. Unlike post-level coins, your Creator Coin represents you as a creator, with your username becoming your ticker symbol (e.g., $username).

What happens when you enable your Creator Coin?

  • Your profile gets its own tradable token with a 1 billion total supply.

    • You receive 50% of the supply (500 million), vested over 5 years.

    • The other 50% becomes immediately tradable.

  • Your username becomes your ticker (e.g. $ARTIST123).

  • All future posts automatically pair with your Creator Coin, fuelling its demand.

  • You earn 1% on every trade of your posts and Creator Coin
