Is there a Zora token airdrop?
Zora has not announced a token or an airdrop yet. However, one must consider that Blur generated a lot of attention and users simply though doing an airdrop. In fact, Blur has by far the highest volume out of all the NFT marketplaces out there according to DappRadar. And this is very likely attributed to their airdrop campaigns. Hence, there is a good chance that Zora may also do an airdrop in order to build a strong community of supporters since they are a direct competitor to Blur.
