Understanding Rewards on Zora

Zora’s mission is to make the internet valuable and free—that’s why we’re building a social network that makes creating and trading coins easy, fun, and rewarding. 

Our Rewards enable creators and developers on Zora to earn from trading activity through two distinct reward systems: Trade Rewards and Market Rewards.

When trades happen directly on Zora, a 1% fee is distributed as follows:

• 0.5% to Creator Rewards

• 0.15% to Trade Referral Rewards

• 0.15% to Create Referral Rewards

• 0.2% to Zora

Important notes:

• Trade rewards for both buy and sell trades are paid in ETH.

• Trade rewards are only earned on trades that happen on Zora.

• Recipients do NOT earn rewards from trades on other platforms. 

The initial Uniswap market is deployed by Zora when a coin is created. All trades on this market, whether on zora.co or other platforms, are subject to a 1% fee distributed as follows:

• 0.5% to Creator Rewards

• 0.25% to Create Referral Rewards

• 0.25% to Zora

Important notes:

• Market rewards are only paid on the initial Uniswap market deployed at the time of coin creation.

• Market rewards are NOT earned on trades on alternative Uniswap markets established by third parties.

• Market rewards for buy trades are paid in ETH, while those for sell trades are paid in the coin being traded.

Creator Rewards:

• Earned by the creator of the coin. The recipient is the same for all trades on a coin.

Trade Referral Rewards:

• Earned by users who drive traffic that results in a trade. Each trade on a coin can have a different recipient for this reward.

Create Referral Rewards:

• If the creator of the coin was invited to Zora by another user, the inviter gets this reward. The recipient is the same for all trades on a coin.

Zora Fee:

• This fee helps support the ongoing development and maintenance of the platform.
