builder stories

bita, our growth manager, chatted live with tyson, austin, and jackie about zora. they covered how doppler's enables price discovery for content, the economics of creator and content tokens, and more. watch the full interview here.

on zora's core concept
"zora is effectively a social network that's designed to make you money, where every post is a coin. just like in traditional social networks, when you see a post that you think might go viral, instead of simply being able to say that you were first, you can actually speculate on the attention or the virality of individual pieces of content."

on recapturing value
"any post that you post on twitter or instagram or tiktok, they all effectively have their own market caps. it's just that those market caps are currently hidden within a black box system, owned by that platform. by introducing a more open model, you align creators and consumers better - rewards for creating good content go to the creators and consumers viewing that content."

on bringing crypto to mainstream creators
"we get to see all of these net new users of crypto experience crypto for the very first time through zora. rather than having to stake any sort of actual cash or currency, you can just create content that you've already been creating for free on other platforms, post it on zora instead, and start earning crypto for the very first time."
