Airdrop Compilation No. 306: Understand in One Article, What Should We Grab on Zora (Including Standard for Setting Up New Accounts)
Zora is one of the projects that many studios criticize while also supporting. In today's tutorial, we have gathered all the information related to activities, including those you are unlikely to find in other tutorials. The tutorial also provides an in-depth analysis of user interaction frequency based on current data.
If you are a beginner, you need to prepare the following in advance:
- Fingerprint browser (multi-account tool, deployment tutorial at the end of the article)
- Prepare an average of 30 U+ for each wallet, which will allow us to interact with 7-12 contracts;
- When interacting, it is best to separate activities, such as once every few days or once every few weeks, but ensure monthly activity. Do not go three consecutive months without interaction, or all previous efforts will be in vain.
1. About Zora
ZORA is an NFT marketplace and also a Layer 2, aimed at simplifying the user experience of digital art.
The project has attracted investments worth $60 million from funds such as Coinbase Ventures, Paradigm, and Haun Ventures. According to CryptoRank data, the total valuation of the project is $600 million.

2. Interaction Frequency
According to data from Dune, as of July 20, ZORA has a total of 1,710,483 wallets participating in interactions, which is already a very low number on public chains.

Most wallets have fewer than 3 transactions, and those inactive accounts will likely be cut off during the final airdrop.
If you are a beginner preparing to engage with ZORA, you can categorize based on the number of transactions, for example:
- Tier 1: 1-3 transactions
- Tier 2: 3-5 transactions
- Tier 3: 5-8 transactions
- Tier 4: 8-10 transactions
If we want to outpace others and ensure we are not considered "tail numbers" to be cut, it is best to aim for Tier 2 or Tier 3, striving to rank within 300,000.
3. Specific Interaction Steps
Step 1: Add Zora Network
- Relevant link: https://chainlist.org/chain/7777777
Step 2: Create an Account
- Visit the official website: https://zora.co/onboarding
Once registered, you can create your own NFT page and use a secondary account to promote your own NFTs. Tutorials on creating NFTs for yourself will be provided in Step 4.
Step 3: Cross-Chain
- Official bridge: https://bridge.zora.energy/
- Backup bridges: Orbiter Finance, Owlto
- It is best to choose cheaper transaction fees like Arbitrum or BASE to cross ETH
- Connect your wallet, enter the amount, and cross-chain
Step 4: Mint NFT
ZORA's interaction mainly involves creating and minting NFTs. We will first mint an NFT and then create our own NFT.
(1) Mint Official NFT
- Link: https://zora.co/collect/zora:0x6c00cf938446c553a581f913fb0ad17a613157f9/1 (The official NFT may have ended; I minted it at a price of 0.000777 ETH, and it can now be sold for 0.0025 ETH, an increase of 221.75%)
(2) Other NFTs
In addition to the official NFT, there are many other decent community NFT projects. I have listed them all for you to choose from (some may have ended by the time you see them):
- Rainbow ETH Rewards
- in the water
- Welcome to ZERϴ Testnet
- Hey Native Mint
- wait ur app is just a website???
- Uni Zorb (Deluxe)
- Upload Imagination with Y7
- Summer Solstice
- building zora app
- summer solstice
- The Superchain DeFi Festival!
- Zora Office Mural by Karl Phenom
- wednesdays
- pawn to e4
I believe these projects are not so obscure, and they may increase in value, which can cover our minting costs.
Step 5: Create Your Own NFT on Zora
- Go to https://zora.co/
- Click the "+" in the upper right corner
- Select Choose a collection
- Click Create Collection
- Upload any image, fill in the NFT name, description, version size (5 MB), and other features
- Also specify the price for each NFT, minting start time, duration, and limitations
4. Other NFTs
(1) ZORA Official Series (Optional)
There are many ZORA official collections on OpenSea that are relatively cheap. It is not necessary to buy; you can choose for yourself, but it does not guarantee profit.

5. Lesser-Known Interactions (Core of this Article)
If you have seen much of the above in many places and want to do it but are hesitant, then in this section, we will look at how to build an ideal account standard and what effective interactions to perform afterward.
(1) ZORA and Mint.fun
Recently, Zora acquired the Mint.fun platform, and it is uncertain whether Zora will merge the two platforms. So currently, there is a loophole to exploit, such as creating my own NFT collection on Zora and minting my own NFTs on Mint.fun.
(2) Zora and Uniswap
Uniswap recently added the Zora network to their platform, so we can finally perform transactions.
- Switch to the Zora network on Uniswap and purchase 550k-700k $ENJOY, interacting 5-8 times.
$ENJOY token contract: 0xa6B280B42CB0b7c4a4F789eC6cCC3a7609A1Bc39
- You can also exchange ETH for USDzC or WETH on the Zora network (this can also be done on http://swap.zora.energy).
(3) Zora and ENJOY
$ENJOY is closely related to Zora. When we purchase 500,000 ENJOY (about 50 U), we can receive a certain amount of tokens weekly. You will need to consume these tokens when mining other NFTs on Zora.
- The number of tokens received weekly depends on your on-chain activity; the more active you are, the more rewards you receive.
- You can also donate these tokens to your NFTs and summarize them at the end of the season.
- Besides donating, you can mint a bunch of different cheap NFTs on Zora, as many collectibles have a minting cost of only 1 $ENJOY.
Here, we can do some coefficient enhancements, such as creating an NFT, setting $ENJOY as the minting fee, and then using a secondary account or inviting friends to mint 100-150 NFTs for you, which would only cost a few cents and also trigger many on-chain bonuses.
6. Building a Standard Account
At this point, our approach to Zora is very clear. Following the prompts above, we can build a standard account system as follows:
- Mint various high-quality NFTs on the official website, with each account holding 50-100 NFTs; the NFT excerpts will be updated in later articles;
- Ensure that you hold $ENJOY in your wallet and do not forget to continue donating, so you can receive some token rewards weekly;
- Create 15 NFTs for yourself;
- Use a 1vN method to ensure the main account has 50 subscribers;
- Use $ENJOY to mint 100 NFTs for yourself;
- Interact on the Zora network on Uniswap to increase transactions;
