crypto is bigger than crypto twitter

We’re spending a lot of time on TikTok and IG learning how to onboard completely new users to @zora. It’s exciting to be modestly growing the crypto pie.

It’s very early but we’re starting to get the hang of it.

Now #83 in the App Store for social networks.

Big little update: price charts for creator coins on @zora

One of my favorite creators @RuiHuang_art is now on @zora

already over 1,111 @zora creator coins activated

Creators 🤝 Traders

Creators get 50% of their @zora creator coin streamed every block to them over 5 years.

This means long term incentive and ownership for creators with predictable release for traders.

Zora is a cryptonative social network.

We've designed and implemented a simple and powerful token system.

+ $posts paired with $creator
+ $creators paired with $zora

You can choose to hold and trade at whatever level you'd like: the posts, the creators, the whole system.

We’ve been heads down on a new @zora release.

It should be a meaningful improvement for creators and traders.

Excited to be rolling it out this week.

Stripe acquiring Bridge and Privy looks like a great build up to their own vertically integrated stablecoin.

Stablecoins going mainstream validates blockchains.

This creates a level playing field and open market for new currencies.

The dollar likely outcompetes existing fiat currencies (that’s the current trend onchain) and then will face new competition in the new paradigm.

Friday @zora update:

We upgraded to Uniswap V4 for our markets.

Creator rewards are now 1% on each trade and all payouts are in $zora (instead of also earning more of your post).

This means more rewards for creators and less built up sell pressure for traders.

More soon :)

Speculation is a superpower: its imagination with action.

Speculation gets a bad wrap in part because until crypto the only real outlet for most people are gambling and the stock market.

Productive outlets like venture capital was walled off for accredited investors.

Assume crypto is all “just speculation” and it’s the superpower of the technology.

The question is then how to utilize and channel that towards outcomes that further society.

That’s the frontier of tokenization: unlocking new markets that improve coordination across society.
