# Zora (ZORA) — machine-readable summary

> FORTUNA SIGNAL · FORA-01 evidence dossier · Researched 2026-09-15 · https://ron-delhaye-studios.github.io/fortuna-signal-live/tokens/zora.html

## Definition
Zora is a decentralized, open-source protocol for publishing, discovering, and transacting media onchain, built around an onchain creator economy on Base. The ZORA token launched in April 2025 with 10% of supply airdropped to the community; no classic project whitepaper exists — the project documents itself via docs.zora.co and exchange MiCA filings.

## What the holder owns (FORA-01 Q1)
ZORA is the native utility and incentive token of the Zora creator platform. Documented functions include serving as the base currency for trading content coins, funding creator rewards from trading fees, and powering platform actions like minting. Project documentation explicitly positions it as an incentive token rather than a governance token.

## Verification verdict
Class C (Class C) — FORA-01 scale: verification, not a quality ranking.
q1 PARTIALLY VERIFIED · q2 UNVERIFIED · q3 UNVERIFIED · q4 UNVERIFIED · q5 UNVERIFIED

## Plain-language utility
Ecosystem token for the Zora creator network.

## Key risks & notes
Status: no_whitepaper_found — no project whitepaper; summary grounded in official Zora docs and MiCA filings. Key caveat: the token confers no governance or economic rights, so value rests entirely on creator-economy activity and sentiment; faces competition from other creator-coin and social-token platforms.

## Primary source
