About Zora

Zora Network (chain ID 7777777) launched its mainnet in June 2023 as an OP Stack rollup. It produces blocks roughly every 2 seconds and uses ETH as its gas token.

Zora is purpose-built for low-cost NFT minting and creator monetization. As an EVM chain it supports Foundry, Hardhat, viem, and ethers.js, and benefits from shared Superchain infrastructure.

Common Use Cases on Zora

  • NFT minting
  • Creator monetization
  • Onchain media
  • Low-cost collectibles
  • Social and content apps

Zora Ecosystem

Zora's own minting and creator products anchor the network, alongside Superchain peers such as Optimism, Base, and opBNB that share OP Stack tooling.

Zora guides from the blog

  • Optimism RPC: The Chain That Became a TemplateOptimism (chain ID 10) is both a mature optimistic rollup — 2-second blocks, ETH gas, fault proofs live since 2024 — and the origin of the OP Stack, the codebase behind Base, Zora, opBNB, Unichain, and Soneium. The developer map: what the two-layer fee model means for gas estimation, why traces are uneven there, and how everything you learn on OP Mainnet carries across the family.
  • Zora RPC: A 2026 Developer's GuideZora is an OP Stack L2 built for mints, and minting traffic is bursty in a way that punishes public RPC endpoints. Here's what you need to build on Zora in 2026 — chain ID 7777777, Superchain finality, the public-node trap, and the query patterns for reading mints at scale.
