Hey there, meme token enthusiasts! If you’ve been keeping an eye on the crypto space, you’ve probably noticed some exciting buzz around Zora and its creator coins. A recent tweet from Graeme (@gkisokay) on July 28, 2025, at 15:17 UTC has sparked a lot of interest, and we’re diving into what it all means. Let’s break it down together!
The Tweet That Caught Our Attention
Graeme’s post reads: "Creator coins on $zora have started to pop off. The BaseApp narrative cruises along. There are active trenches to be found with these creator coins. I have a feeling things are only starting to begin." Accompanied by an eye-catching image, this tweet quotes an earlier post from the same user, hinting at a growing trend. The image shows a vibrant graphic with two arms flexing in a handshake, surrounded by creator-related visuals and the text "@noxxxwill" — a clear nod to the community driving this movement.
What Are Creator Coins on Zora?
For those new to the scene, Zora is a social network where every post can become a coin — a unique twist on blockchain technology. Creator coins are tokens tied to individual creators or communities, allowing fans to support them directly. Think of it like a digital tip jar, but with the potential for these coins to gain value if the creator’s popularity soars. Built on the Base Layer 2 solution (an Ethereum scaling network), Zora leverages low-cost transactions to make this model accessible.
The BaseApp Narrative: Why It Matters
Graeme’s mention of the "BaseApp narrative" ties into a broader trend. BaseApp, linked to Coinbase’s Base ecosystem, is pushing a "get creators paid" model. As explained in a recent blockchain.news article, early buyers can support creators, potentially see their investment grow if others join in, or get their funds back if the post flops. This low-risk, high-reward setup is turning heads, especially as Base promotes itself as a retail-friendly chain for this cycle.
Why Creator Coins Are Popping Off Now
So, why the sudden surge? Let’s connect the dots. Earlier posts from @0xSleuth_ (quoted in Graeme’s thread) highlighted how platforms like Zora can create a "flywheel" effect. As more influencers and meme creators launch tokens, demand for the $ZORA token rises, driving its price and attracting even more attention. With creator coins on Zora starting to gain traction, we’re seeing the early stages of this snowball effect. The image in Graeme’s tweet, featuring @noxxxwill, suggests active communities are already forming around these coins.
Opportunities and Trenches to Explore
Graeme’s mention of "active trenches" is a call to action for crypto enthusiasts. These trenches are the opportunities to get involved early — whether by buying creator coins, joining communities like @noxxxwill, or watching how $ZORA performs. However, as @SAG3_ai pointed out in a reply, there’s a flip side: the 10 billion $ZORA token supply could dilute value, and creators might face vesting cliffs. It’s a bullish sign for activity but worth keeping an eye on the token design.
What’s Next for Zora and BaseApp?
With things "only starting to begin," as Graeme puts it, this could be the tipping point for Zora’s ecosystem. If more creators jump on board and the BaseApp narrative gains steam, we might see a repeat of the $VIRTUALS run (from 2 cents to $5, as @0xSleuth_ reminisced). For meme token lovers, this is an exciting space to watch — blending social media, blockchain, and community-driven value.
