Why is Zora important and how to get possible airdrop?

Zora is a Layer-2 scaling solution built on Ethereum that aims to make NFT interactions more efficient and cost-effective. Zora handles NFT transactions off-chain, which are then bundled and posted back to the Ethereum blockchain as proofs. This approach helps to alleviate the transactional burden on Ethereum, making NFT interactions faster and cheaper.

Zora leverages the OP Stack technology, which is the backbone of Optimism’s Superchain vision. The aim of the Superchain is to create a network of many optimistic rollup chains. Zora Network is the first NFT-centric L2 to deploy using OP Stack, and the specialized tech allows Zora to offer rapid, cost-efficient transactions specifically tailored for NFTs. Transactions are confirmed in seconds, and minting an NFT can cost less than $0.50.

Zora Network is essentially an “appchain” focused on servicing the Zora NFT minting and marketplace protocol and the Zora.co platform. This means that instead of trying to attract an array of DeFi, NFT, and crypto social projects, so far, Zora Network has specifically just focused on streamlining Zora mints.

To use Zora Network, you need a wallet and starter ETH. You can use a resource like Chainlist to easily add Zora Network to your wallet, e.g., MetaMask; for reference, the Chain ID is 7777777. If you have ETH on Ethereum, you can then bridge some over to use on Zora Network. If you’d like to bridge ETH to Zora Network, a basic starting point is the native Zora Bridge.
