$ZORA
As of February 4, 2026, Zora ($ZORA)—the native token of the creator-centric Layer 2 network—is currently one of the strongest performers in the market. While the broader crypto space is struggling with "Extreme Fear" (sentiment index 17), ZORA has decoupled, staging a massive +11.8% to +25.4% rally over the last 24 hours.
The "Creator Economy" Breakout
ZORA’s current momentum is driven by its unique positioning as the primary infrastructure for "SocialFi" and on-chain content monetization.
Network Adoption Surge: Zora is processing roughly 2 million daily transactions, nearly double Ethereum’s base layer. Its pivot to "Creator Coins"—where social posts are tokenized and tradable—has seen explosive growth, with daily mints hitting record highs in early 2026.
Technological Upgrades: On January 27, 2026, the network introduced a native limit-order system for on-chain creator pools. This upgrade, combined with a "Dynamic Launch Fee" to deter bot front-running, has significantly improved liquidity and fairness for retail users.
Base & Coinbase Integration: Being built on the OP Stack, Zora's deep integration with Coinbase’s Base App has funneled a new wave of mainstream users into the ecosystem, allowing creators to earn from their content in perpetuity.
Pros and Cons
Strengths:
Deflationary Pressure: Every time a user mints a "content coin" or "creator coin" on Zora, fees are burned in $ZORA. This creates a sustainable "buy-and-burn" mechanic that scales with platform usage.
Risks:
Upcoming Token Unlocks: A significant unlock of 166.67 million tokens (approx. $5.15M) is scheduled for February 22, 2026. This represents nearly 4% of the circulating supply and could introduce short-term sell pressure.
