What makes Zora different?
While most L2s try to serve all use cases, the Zora chain specifically focuses on NFTs. Zora aims to rebuild the internet and unleash creativity through onchain media.
Zora is a fast Layer-2 network for scaling Ethereum built specifically to bring media onchain. Zora is based on the OP Stack and uses ETH to pay for gas and mints on the network.
In MetaMask, you can add Zora by copying Chain ID and other information to your wallet’s settings. Meanwhile, Zerion Wallet supports Zora Network right away and automatically — just bridge some ETH and it will show up there.
You can send ETH to Zora via the official bridge or use any other L2 bridges such as Orbiter.
You can only bridge ETH to Zora. Use the official Zora bridge to bridge from the mainnet Ethereum. Or use an L2 bridge like Orbiter to bridge from another cheaper network such as Optimism or Arbitrum.
Zora uses the OP Stack that powers Optimism and Base networks. This technology, known as Optimistic rollups, secures billions of dollars worth of crypto assets. And in the end, the summary of transactions on Zora (and other rollups) are posted to the Ethereum network. So yes, you can say Zora is safe. However, as with anything else in crypto, there is some risk involved.
Zora does not have a token. Although there are rumors of a Zora airdrop, nothing is confirmed. However, Zora has several NFT collections, including the original ZORBS by Zora.
