Zora

Zora is a great place where artists can display and earn from their art. They are pushing the boundaries by implementing ERC20 coins into their model.

Not only did they milk users for 1000 days. Not only did they rug thousands of users with a barebones garbage token with a botched launch. But the CEO acts like he's the second coming of God (newsflash: he isn't), while being selfserving and greedy to the absolute maximum. But there's more - their embedded wallet tech seem to be malfunctioning too. proof: https://x.com/katexbt/status/1915259057197506585

Claimed to be a Freemint commemorative NFT but charged extra fees, amounting to as high as 2000 ETH in 2023 alone. In the 2025 TGE event, most of the community tokens were given to the Binance Alpha airdrop. The community, which shilled a lot, only received a pitiful 20 tokens. https://x.com/Wolfy_XBT/status/1700162616910594416

Such a stupid platform. Their original idea was a bust so they just copied pumpfun. We don't need a billion "content coins". We already have too many memecoins. Just shut it down already bruh.

Treating community supporters as mere liquidity, betrayal, deceit, thievery!

It’s wild how such an experienced team could deliver one of the worst executions I’ve seen. Zora prioritized Binance Alpha, which didn’t even result in an exchange listing, over their own users and creators. The claim was delayed, and the last-minute cahoots with Jesse from Base to inflate metrics felt forced. Whatever excitement there was is completely gone now. Hard to believe the token will ever recover real momentum

I started using the Zora protocol in 2021 and have minted many NFTs to support creators and artists. For the project's TGE, Binance users in the IDO received $140 worth of Zora per user, while regular users only learned about the airdrop claim after the event ended via the official Twitter account. My two frequently used EVM addresses only received $10 worth of airdrop. This is a project that lacks a genuine community foundation and is only focused on issuing tokens. It's a protocol that has raised a lot of money from top VCs over the years but has never gained real traction.

Those who have participated in the interaction and construction of the community for as long as two or three years have finally obtained rewards that are less than one-tenth of those from Binance's IDO. Their credit scores should be reduced.

Zora started as a cool NFT platform that helped creators earn from their work. But over time, things went downhill. They built hype around an airdrop, pushed users to mint NFTs, and then gave most rewards to outsiders instead of real users. Many people spent more on fees than what they got back. The product itself isn’t bad the app looks good and works fine but the token launch was a mess. Poor communication, delayed claims, and most tokens going to insiders hurt trust badly. What could’ve been a strong Web3 project now feels like a missed chance and a big disappointment for early supporters.
